Review on ๐Ÿง‚ Zassenhaus Speyer 5.1-Inch Dark Stained Beech Pepper Mill: Superior Quality and Style for Perfectly Ground Pepper by Robert Yates

Revainrating 5 out of 5

From the beautifully crafted wood design to the finish to the actual grinding mechanism.

pepper mills of excellent quality. Made with beautiful wood, lacquered finishes and a real mechanism that actually grinds peppercorns. I bought this as a gift for someone and filled it with peppercorns myself. I've read other people's reviews on here complaining about the difficulty in filling peppercorns. I do not agree. It requires a bit of skill, but it's by no means a painful or complicated process. I formed a "ring" at the top with the fingers of my left hand (after removing the handle and metal cover) and closed the top of the open pepper mill while pouring in about two ounces of peppercorns with my right hand. I think a pathetic peppercorn came loose during the process and rolled onto the counter. There was really nothing wrong with that. Of course, the grinding options with this pepper mill are wonderful. The course option allows you to use one of the largest freshly ground peppers I have ever seen. I like that this item has a 25 year guarantee. I had pepper mills that worked decently for about a year, but then they started to break. Hope this one lasts. I will update my review here, positive or not, as time goes by. I plan to try the stainless steel pepper mill offered by this company very soon.

Pros
  • pepper mills
Cons
  • boring packaging
