Salt and Pepper Grinder Set, Refillable, Manually Operated Pump & Grind, Thumb Press Peppermill, and Salt Grinder.

Update: May 2017. See the comment posted below. I was unaware that the mills would disassemble from the base. If I had known this, I would have gladly given the product 5 stars, so I've changed the rating. I've left the original review below because I do believe, given enough time and use, the mills would need to be taken apart to be cleaned. Use care with the threaded view windows. Other than that, these are good, solid grinder mills. I've been using mine for more than half a year now with no issues. Highly recommended! And a special thanks to the company for posting their comments.A handsome and impressive pair. The stainless steel finish looks good and is easy to clean. With grinders this small, there are always sacrifices. For starters, they're not adjustable, but what comes out is neither too coarse or too fine. And the salt mill seems to drop a little more than the pepper mill. My biggest concern is longevity. The way to refill these is to unscrew the bottom half from the clear acrylic center. Not a problem in or of itself, but if the threads on the acrylic part ever get 'boogered up' or stripped, these mills will be useless. I would advise anyone who has these to exercise EXTREME care when refilling and re-attaching the base.To me, this is a set to put aside for special occasions...those intimate dinners for two, to 'wow' your friends or guests, or to keep on the bar for making those spicy Bloody Mary drinks. But for everyday use? No, I'll still fall back on traditional shakers. That's not to say I believe these mills are fragile, but I don't see them practical for everyday use or for cooks who depend on precise measurements.

We first saw these grinders in the restaurant of the Stage 12 Hotel in Innsbruck, Austria last fall. We were struck by the design and one-handed operation. We were guests of the Hotel at the time, and tried to buy a set from them. We were told that the grinders were "special made" for them, and they had only enough for their requirements. We looked in all the shops during the rest of our trip through Europe for something similar - to no avail.Imagine my surprise when I ran across these (months later) on the internet -- made by a company in Vail, Colorado, and apparently copied by some others...… But these are the solid stainless steel ones like we had seen, and match the picture that I had taken of the original ones exactly. Totally happy to have found them here in the US!My ONLY concern with them is that they can be a bit hard to push. If you don't have good thumb strength, you may have difficulty using them one-handed -- but you can always revert to using both hands!

It's really very good. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is for two nitpicks. First, when you push it, it clacks pretty loudly and it's hard to avoid this since each press is a slightly different pressure needed. The second nitpick is that it is not adjustable and the grinding for the peppercorns isn't consistent (though not a big deal).Everything else about it is what the others say, it's nicely designed, it works well, it holds enough to last a good amount of time, it's on the elegant side and the grind is good enough.I'll say that it has helped me keep salt on the table. I have a bad habit of sprinkling salt in a very wide pattern to obtain consistent coverage. This just grinds it straight down, but spreads it out enough so you get reasonably consistent coverage. Now, when I pick up my plate after dinner, there's not this halo of salt all around it.

Love the look of these salt/pepper dispensers. Bought for the view, love for the way they function. Brandy-new so not sure if there will be any malfunctioning - but so far so good!

So much pressure needed for manual pair. I am in hospital and I keep them on table in dining room. I won’t be leaving my rechargeable ones, anywhere but within eye-viewing range.

With that sleek, streamlined, modern look, I thought for sure that they’d have a smooth movement. They don’t. They feel like they need oil and maybe a little sanding. I barely have the thumb strength the dispense from one of them at all. They are just stiff and rough, like the internal gears are hitting and sticking a little. They’re ok for their looks, but their function really let this gift down.

First, the quality of this set is amazing. Second, they are a great conversation starter anytime we have someone over to the house. They are fascinating in their simplicity and very well made. Easy to use, easy to refill, and work great. The size is small and light enough for even my 93-year-old grandmother in law.

Great! I love my grinders! Works perfectly A+
