Great buy!
October 31, 2016
Bigger than expected! Easy to use. Design of glass bottles fits nicely in the hands so you don't have to worry about it slipping out of your hands. Easy to use and to fill!

You can grind your pepper and salt?!? Unbelievable! But really the quality and the easiness of cleaning and refilling this one is yhe best. It has a decent opening where if need you too clean the inside of the glassware. I always wanted one for my house and it goes great with the rest of my stainless steel appliances.
Glad to have these.

My husband bought these as a gift for me, and we are unsure if they are the ones shown. They do not have Teika embossed on them, but that is o.k. with us. I really like these, they perform well and instead of hiding them in our cupboard, I have them out on the counter. I especially like them with the pink salt. If you wash them, be sure that the inside is very dry before using. We took them apart and my husband used an air compressor between the two parts that don't come apart. He said quite a bit of water came out of one. Glass salt and pepper grinders are hard to find. I like the size of these.
Just the right size for a single person and grinds the pepper and salt to perfect size!

I am thrilled with these! Just the right size for a single person and grinds the pepper and salt to perfect size!
Excellent grinders!
July 9, 2015
Fantastic grinders! We've owned multiple sets over the years. I have to say, these things grind perfectly. It doesn't matter if you like your salt/pepper course or fine, these grinders deliver. Instead of adjusting the grind by tightening or loosening the cap on top, they have an easy to use dial adjustment on the bottom. It is quick and easy to make the adjustments. The caps are fantastic. No more bits of salt or pepper on the counter when you are done using them. Highly recommended.

so far so good
October 25, 2017
after an unsatisfactory experience with a cheaper grinder, I decided to try this one, based on reviews and searching online as well. that it was on sale was a bonus, as the original price is pretty high. there is one other brand out there - if you search best pepper grinder you will find it- but it is more expense yet, and no discount. so this being a time tested company as well, I went with it. also the design is pleasing and modern, which I like.right out of the box I tested it immediately, as it is already loaded with pepper corns. all the settings worked well and smoothly, with ease. no fuss no bother.excellent
This is the best one yet
October 3, 2017
I've only had this a short while. It's the latest addition to my collection of pepper mills.This is the best one yet. I have a couple of others that grind as well but they don't have much capacity for the pepper corns and are a pain to refill. Grinds evenly and quickly. Fits my hand comfortably. I'll update after I have used it more.

September 28, 2017
I bought one for my Wife and one for my mother-in-law. They don't talk about them that much, but I have noticed our meals are more enthusiastically spiced, and peppercorns on the shopping list more than once a year. I think the true testament to this product was my wife picking through our flood-damaged home after hurricane Harvey and actually salvaging her pepper grinder.
Best pepper grinder with adjustable settings
September 12, 2017
5 grinder settings. Saw review from America's Test Kitchen and decided to buy it. Adjustments are easy and I know that it is well made and will last due to metal grinding mechanisms. Easy to operate and adjust settings and easy to refill as you can see through the acrylic and don't have a lot of parts to remove to refill.
LOVE IT
June 17, 2016
We purchased the Salt and Pepper mill over a year ago and OH MY, it is GLORIOUS.It is immensely easy to adjust and fill. It is a good size to use for cooking and for table if need be. I've used it on the daily for over a year and it grinds now as the first day I took this baby for a whirl.It may feel like a hefty price for grinders but it will be worth every single cent.
Best bang for your buck on Pepper Mills, no reason to spend more!
April 25, 2016
The reviews couldn't be more accurate about this mill. I had been shopping for a new pepper mill and was convinced I was going to purchase a Peugeot for 2-3x the price. I found a link to this one online stating it is one of the best tested multiple years in a row. I took a chance since at the price the worst thing that would happen is I would get a couple years of use and then buy a Peugeot. Holy cow! This mill is amazing. It is easily adjusted and the mill grinds just as well on the finest setting as it does on the coarsest. Overall great product and easy to use.

Nice size and well put together. I've got fairly large hands and lots of things feel clumsy for me to hold. These are a good size. I've prefer some more texturing on the brushed metal.
Lost one star for guality control
July 4, 2015
These look great and now work great. The reason for dropping a star was the grinders in both had to be taken apart and freed up as they would only grind very, very fine because the plate under the grind adjustment was forced to its bottom position. Opening these up, unseating the grind plate and reassembly cured the issue and they are great working and looking.Better quality control after assembly would cure this issue and they would be a five star product.

I love to grind salt as I cook
July 25, 2017
I love to grind salt as I cook. However, I thought this would be like its partner, the pepper grinder, and have settings that allow me to choose the size of the grind. Not. I also had to read how to refill it...not in the accompanying info but by a review or question/answer where a family member fixed it for his kids.
Awesome and consistent results
March 20, 2017
This is a great pepper mill. One of the best ones I've ever owned. The size and consistency of the grinds are perfect. And no more fiddling with screws. Love the fact that I can quickly switch grind size with ease.The only thing that I took away a star for was the capacity. I wouldn't mind a taller one like some of the premium wooden ones.
Took two tries, but replacement grinder is great!
January 2, 2017
As another poster experienced, the first mill I bought delivered inconsistent sizes of pepper pieces at the fine setting--about half was indeed very fine, the rest of the pieces were larger and variably sized. Bought a replacement and it's much better at all grind settings. The fine grind is truly fine, and pieces are of consistent size. The grinder has a smooth action and grinds much faster than my 10-year old Peugeot.
Good pepper grinder
September 3, 2016
Nice to finally have a quality pepper grinder. Only small issue is that after grinding some pepper, it leaks a bit of ground pepper when you set it down--even if you tap it a little first. We just keep it on a small plate to keep the ground pepper from getting all over our counters and table.
Very Good Pepper Mill!!
April 13, 2016
Well I've been wanting to purchase this pepper mill for some time. But, new ones sell for suggested retail since Americas Test Kitchen named it the "BEST". I don't pay retail for nothing. I bought this one "used" for 10 dollars less. Came repackaged but seems like new.This grinder is by far the best I ever owned. Easy grind adjustments and plenty of pepper comes out. East to re-fill. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is the small capacity. I thought it was larger.
Absolutely amazing. . . But. . .
June 27, 2014
I got this for Father's Day, and I was immediately amazed at how a change in grinder could affect the taste of the same pepper. My 12 year old grinder was probably half the price of this one, and it did the job. Or so I thought. This is on a completely different level. It manages to extract 5 times the flavor from the same peppercorn. Even my wife agrees.The only reason I am not giving it five stars is b/c the first one was defective. It would never grind as fine as I thought it should, based on the picture included with the mill. I called the company, and they said they'd replace it, if I shipped the other one back first. So I just contacted Amazon, and we had a new one in two days. The new one is absolutely perfect.I uploaded some photos in the customer images section, so you can see what I mean.

The design makes it difficult to target the ground salt or pepper to a small area of your plate making them better suited to be used stove-side.They are generally as described.

Overrated
November 11, 2017
Doesn't have much heft; feels cheaply made. The stamped aluminum base looks cheap as well. Grind consistency is poor. Not quite sure how this got good reviews from a prominent cooking magazine.
Terrible value.... good but not great but priced very high
May 20, 2016
Likes:- Filling is easy.- Salt grinder is great.- Stylish design and good size (tall, stainless, good capacity)Dislikes:- Indicators fade quickly. Some of the dots started fading right away. After about 1 year, you can no longer see what grinder setting the salt is set to (completely faded). The pepper is faint since we use it less often.- The pepper doesn't engage on the peppercorns (we have whole black peppercorns from Costco). As I turn the grinder, it feels like only have the time do the teeth bite in and start grinding pepper. Maybe the whole pepper I have is too large in diameter for this to handle, but overall the rate at which pepper comes out is disappointing.
a quality grind, but really, really slow!
April 19, 2016
I did my research and bought this highly-recommended grinder two years ago. It works fine, and if it proves to be durable--as it had better be for the cost--I'll be happy. Kind of. But it does have one significant problem: a high gear ratio, so that it's very easy to turn, but it takes forever to get a sufficient quantity. I sometimes buy Tone's black pepper that comes in a bottle with a disposable plastic grinder and that actually works much better--harder to turn, but much faster. So: if you've got arthritis or some other joint issue, this could be the ideal grinder for you; if you want to produce quantities of freshly ground pepper for more than a single serving, consider looking elsewhere.
Average Salt and Pepper Mills
December 9, 2015
Average Salt and Pepper Mills, they do a decent job of grinding. My complaint is that printing on the bottom ring of the unit that allows you to change to grind from fine to course wore off quickly, so even though you can still change the grind, you don't know which way to turn it, and have to try several settings to see which way you want to turn it. The scale was printed on the adjustment ring, but should have been etched. Other than than they work fine, just a little inconvenient to use.
Did not meet expectations
September 4, 2014
Main reason for buying this item was the range of the sizes of the grindings that could be dialed in. The size for the "finest" grindings produced "fine" grindings but also had coarser bits mixed in even after repeated twists of the grinder. Not what I expected. It may have been the type of peppercorns (something called Tellicherry, sold by Costco). No other types were tried for comparison. The manufacturer was not contacted for comment. I'll keep the unit even though I consider my experience with it a disappointment in its function.
Not worth the price
July 1, 2014
I bought this based on a recommendation from America's Test Kitchen. It's their top-rated mill. It's pretty disappointing. ATK especially praised it's fine grind setting. On mine, the fine grind is indistinguishable from the next two more coarse settings. The output is nothing special either. Large capacity, easy to fill, but otherwise pretty mediocre.

Quality Not Durable
January 22, 2017
Worked well for about a year with minimal use. Recently broke, cracking the entire plastic from area where top rotates. Cannot be fixed and disappointed with quality. Would not recommend.
Unfortunately disappointed
August 7, 2016
After having these for about a year the one we used for the salt broke. Literally as my husband was grinding the salt, the top twisted right off😕For the $20 dollars we spent on these I was hoping that they would last a bit longer than just a year. up until this point I would say we had loved them and used them everyday, just bummed it broke so soon.
Update, 05-Sep-2017: Loved it at first, but longevity is poor
July 27, 2016
It works great! I love the adjustable ceramic grinder, as it allows for fine or coarse grind and everything in between. The stainless steel top is a plus so that it doesn't corrode over time. Update 05-Sep-2017: I have to modify my review due to the fact that since my first review, both of these grinders have broken due to faulty design. The one we used for salt broke first; the metal stem on which the burr is attached corroded and broke after only about 6-7 months of use. (These are always kept with the lid on, and used only at the dinner table, never used over a cooking pot.) Just 2 days ago, the pepper grinder broke at the 3 points where the metal post for the burr attaches to the 3 plastic arms of the housing. (See photos.) They were useful while they lasted; but I wish they had lasted a whole lot longer than they did.
Worked fine until grinder jammed then broke after being turned to fine and then attempting to adjusting it looser.
July 18, 2016
We bought this for use particularly as a salt grinder, we turned it to fine and it worked ok. Later, we tried turning it to be more coarse but it was stuck. When I got a better grip on the knob I was able to turn it, but instead of loosening the screw broke. We still have the other one, so hopefully it will work better than the other one. We'll be sure to be careful how fine we set it.
it looks like it was broken then put in the box

one of the grinders were broken. it looks like it was broken then put in the box, because the other half of the glass wasnt in the box. It looks nice but i was so bumed out that i havent used the other one yet.

Very disappointed!
November 12, 2017
I own a Unicorn pepper mill and bought this mill solely based on a top review from a leading cooking magazine thinking I was going to get an even better mill (meaning more control). This mill, while very well constructed, is no where near the performer of the Unicorn for those cooks using expensive peppers requiring predictable results. In a side by side comparison using top peppercorns from a well known NY supplier, the Unicorn ground much more consistently at the various settings and at a MUCH faster rate. The Cole and Mason left large pieces of peppercorn at every grind setting, differences between settings were very slight, and took forever to produce useable quantities. While easier to load and change settings and definitely better than the top selling OXO mill, the very inconsistent results have me owning a very expensive table mill that I wish I could return.
Love these salt and pepper shakers
August 6, 2017
Love these salt and pepper shakers. Get compliments for them all the time, but for whatever reason the screw that is needed for the salt shaker is too short and unable I am unable to screw back in to reassemble the salt shaker. It seems to be the same screw that is needed for the pepper shaker too, but I tried interchanging them and still wasn't able to get the salt shaker reassembled. Would love to have these as a pair, but still on the search for a longer screw replacement.
Disappointing. Broke right away. While it still grinds, can't control the coarseness of the grind.
June 12, 2017
Disappointing. It broke right away, with the first filling of peppercorns and the first turn of the grinder. A piece of the grinding mechanism fell out of the bottom of the mill (looked like a flat black plastic washer). The mill grinds pepper, but it's impossible to control the fineness or coarseness of the grind. It's always the same inconsistent mess of large chunks and fine dust, no matter what setting the mill is on.Would not buy this again.
the first one was fantastic (for information
June 3, 2016
I have ordered 3 of these, the first one was fantastic (for information, I'm interested in very fine grinds), the next 2 were hopeless (ie: I couldn't get anywhere near as fine a grind as the first unit). Any information on how to make these 2 bad units I bought to be as good as the first would make me change this to a 5 star review. That first unit is really, really good, I just wish they had more consistency.
Disappointed with the delivery of pepper
June 30, 2014
I also bought this based on the Cook's Illustrated/Americas Test Kitchen review. This is the first product that I am disappointed with based on their review. All of the different grind setting from finest to coarsest produce little pepper on my plate on in my pan. I'm not sure why that is. I can get a temporary additional delivery by rotating grind selection, but it is back to almost nothing with a few grinds.I do like the feel of the mill and the idea behind the grind selection, but overall this has been a disappointment.
Not worth $39.99
January 13, 2014
I had the unfortunate luck of sending for a replacement,and that is when I noticed the grinds were inconsistent. The original one was pretty close to the enclosed pictures of selected grinds(but had other issues) and I would have been slightly annoyed at the extra courseness of the grinds,but the second pepper mill wasn't even close. The finest grind was more like the next one up. The second selected grind was between 3 and 4. I called the company and they said it could be a internal spring problem. Being that this pepper mill is made in China,that might explain the sloppy feel to the grinder and selector. Even the pepper mill top was loose and had a lot of play. If they would have better quality control and a better fine grind,this would be spot on. Maybe Cooks Illustrated needs to re-evaluate.

May 31, 2016
One of the Grinder's rotor (the one I've been using for salt) has been stuck for months and I can's adjust the fineness anymore. It is stuck on very course so the salt comes out in big pieces which isn't helpful when I'm just trying to lightly salt something....always turns my food way too salty making it unusuable.
Broke after 9 months
April 1, 2016
Broke after less than a year. Better off trying to find one with metal hardware rather than cheap plastic parts that break with normal use.

Tops and grinder are cheap plastic. Used for sea salt; did not grind well. Then the grinder broke; it lasted less than three days.

This peppermill has never worked properly. I have to shake the peppercorns upside down first and then attempt to grind. I did not purchase on Amazon but a retail store.

Wtf!! I can't believe I paid this much for A salt and pepper shaker. I thought this thing would be super high-quality and would grind pepper absolutely perfectly it's no better than the $10 one I had before and in fact I find myself using the cheap one because it grinds pepper better than this one does. My wife is constantly making fun of me going how is your $78 pepper shaker working out? Save your money I will sell you mine for five dollars because that's all it's worth

November 15, 2014
Recommended by Cook's Country, so I bought it. I couldn't adjust grind using grabbing a strap wrench, and after I'd changed grind level twice, I couldn't adjust grind at all. No better than the mills at 20% of the price. Returned

The pepper mill was delivered with a defect (plastic piece did not evenly fit on metal bottom). I'm returning and NOT getting a replacement based on other problems documented in reviews.
Broke Immediately - A Common Defect?
July 3, 2013
Chances are that you found this product from the excellent review it got from Cooks Illustrated. I did. However, if you do a search of the Amazon reviews, there are a few low rated reviews and most of those are based upon a broken top. Persuaded by the overwhelming number of positive reviews, I disregarded the warnings of the tops breaking and purchased the pepper and salt set.Unfortunately, the top to my salt mill broke on its first turn out of the box. I'll post a photo on Amazon to help explain the defect in my salt mill. The top to the mill is made up of a plastic piece and a metal piece. The plastic piece acts like a lid to a jar or in this case the mill and, when turned, causes the mill to grind the pepper or salt. A stainless steel cover/cap fits over the plastic lid to make it look nice. To prevent the steel cap from merely spinning over the sides of the plastic lid when turned, a tooth is welded inside the steel lid, which is supposed to fit into a notch built into the plastic lid. However, the notch to the plastic lid is rather shallow and the torsion from spinning the mill caused the tooth of the cap to jump out of the notch. So now the notch no longer holds the tooth; and turning the metal cap causes it to spin around the plastic lid rather than causing it to turn the plastic lid and mill. If you look at my photo, you'll also see a point or horn protruding from the top of the plastic lid that tapers to point that is glued or welded to the cap, to prevent the cap from being pulled away from the plastic lid. Unfortunately, since the notch doesn't hold the tooth, the torsion from turning the top caused the glue or welding to separate and now the metal top easily falls off.I'm sure that this falls within both Amazon's and Cole and Mason's return policies but I think I'm going to choose a refund rather than an exchange. I've seen enough reviewers with broken tops to look to other brands.
