FAQs
How do I adjust the grind coarseness?
Locate the adjustment mechanism, typically found at the base of the mill. Turn this mechanism to achieve your desired grind size, from fine to coarse.
What type of salt and pepper should I use?
This mill is designed for whole peppercorns and coarse sea salt or kosher salt. Avoid using fine table salt, as it can clog the grinder.
How do I clean the mills?
Hand wash the acrylic body and metal caps with mild soap and warm water. Dry with a soft cloth. Periodically clean the grinder by grinding a small amount of coarse salt through it.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
It is not recommended to put the acrylic mills in the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the acrylic material and potentially affect the grinding mechanism.
How do I refill the mills?
Unscrew the metal cap, remove the acrylic body from the base, and fill through the top opening. Reassemble securely.
Are the metal caps interchangeable between salt and pepper mills?
Yes, the set comes with interchangeable metal caps, allowing for a consistent look on your table regardless of which mill is which.
Troubleshooting
Grinder is difficult to turn
Ensure the mill is not overfilled with peppercorns or salt. Check that the grinding mechanism is clear of debris. Adjust the coarseness setting to a less fine grind.
Uneven grinding
Clean the grinding mechanism to remove any blockages or residue. Ensure you are using whole peppercorns or coarse salt grains of a consistent size.
Acrylic body appears cloudy
This may be due to residue buildup. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Salt or pepper not dispensing
Check that the coarseness setting is not too fine, which can clog the mechanism. Ensure the mill is filled adequately. Verify the metal cap is securely attached.

Remove the clear acrylic body and fill with your desired whole peppercorns or coarse sea salt through the top opening. Screw the body back onto the base and then reattach the metal cap. To adjust the coarseness, locate the adjustment mechanism at the base of the mill (mechanism may vary by specific design) and turn it to your preferred setting.
