OXO Good Grips Pepper Mill with Rotating Handle

great grinder , they last a long time this was the 3rd one of these I have purchased over the last 20 or so years I purchased this one for a gift and not because either of my other 2 had any issues , they are each updated slightly , but mostly the same thing. the reason for 2 at the house is one in the kitchen and one in the dining room , I don't have any pepper shakers , just salt and fresh ground pepper.

This is the best pepper grinder in the world. I have bought fancy pepper mills, cheap pepper mills, the ones that are ready to go from the grocery store. This is NUMBER ONE. Why? Quick and easy to fill with flip out fill bin. I use a small funnel for peppercorns. I bought 2 of these: one for black peppercorns and one for white peppercorns. Nothing better than fresh ground pepper! Two: easy to adjust grind on the bottom. Not complicated. Just turn it. New model has a little clip on base plate to keep from making a mess. I love it! I am 62 years old and have been cooking from the age of 30 (I know late bloomer) and this is the very very best pepper grinder EVER. Even if you have dexterity issues, it's easy to spin around and kinda fun, too!

I've owned many pepper grinders and this one is hands down the best. I've purchased three of them and use them to grind Kirkland peppercorns and Kirkland Himalayan pink salt. The ergonomics are great, it's easy to fill, it grinds well, and it's inexpensive. I highly recommend this grinder, as it does exactly what you need it to, does it well, and isn't outrageously priced. However, the first two I purchased, after a year of use, broke. The same thing happened to the grinder my parents purchased. The handle breaks off. The shaft/axle the handle turns to grind the pepper/salt is made of steel. The part of the handle transferring the torque of your hand cranking the handle to this axle is plastic and obviously too weak to work long-term. Either this plastic needs to be of a higher quality or another material, like steel, needs to be used. To rectify the issue with my parents' grinder, they started using locking pliers gripping the steel axle of the grinder. I did the same with the second grinder that broke for me, but it's so heavy that it tips over and is also much less ergonomic/user friendly than the factory handle. Because of this, I've thought about a few different solutions. Today I tried a 6 mm quarter drive socket on the square axle. It fits well. The ratcheting action makes this setup very convenient and more ergonomic/user friendly than the locking pliers. Plus, the ratchet is simple to attach/detach from the socket on the grinder, so it no longer tips over. Unfortunately, it isn't too attractive and my tools are being used for the grinder, so I'll have to purchase another socket and ratchet to replace them. Although I love this grinder and highly recommend it, it isn't perfect. Hopefully the designers/manufacturers roll out an improved version. Until then, I'll use my simple DIY fix.

The best pepper grinder I’ve used, the eccentric grip makes it fast and easy to grind, you don’t have to twist multiple times for one rotation

Okay, this is a nice mill. It grinds well and is easy to use. easy to load. ONE ISSUE: if you are grinding corns and trying to hold the mill tightly so that it won't slip, you are in effect, pressing on the "door" where you load the peppercorns. It's fine shaped instead of cylindrical and you have to really hold on to it when you start grinding. after a little use I pressed the door too hard apparently, and dislodged it. I was able to put it back and the mill still functions fine, but it's not like it was and is loose feeling. Now when I use it I have to place and position it in my hand so that the pressure on that little door is as little as possible. I foresee the pressure of my hand will at some time break the plastic hinge and make it pretty much unusable. I don't have large hands, but the mill is not that big around so there really is no way to hold it and use it without touching that hatch in some way. It's basically an issue with design. If it was a cylinder, and not come shaped, or a little taller, I don't think this would Be been an issue. Ever since I did this, the mill seems less solid when I'm holding it and just grabbing it and using it is not really possible. It still works well, but it feels wobbly in my hand. Since this was not what I would call a cheap mill, and IT IS NOT cheaply made, (although it was inexpensive) I am disappointed that I had trouble with it so soon after purchase. I think I had had it less than a month before I pushed the door in. To be fair, I use more pepper than most people.

Bought this a few years ago for black pepper. Still work well. So got another one for white pepper

VERY VERY Pricey, considering it is a manual grinder. But is does what it says. ALL pepper grinders can grind pepper, even the dirt cheap ones. But even though most of them have fineness control, they fail to make the grinds uniform and the result is coarse grinding. The OXO grinds uniformly. And its coarseness-fineness control really works to your desire. That is what makes it different. If you are not very fussy, any grinder will do. If you are, give OXO a try. Mine shipped directly from NewYork.

The price which I paid for this average product was too much. The product is poor.

Over the years I have tried a few different pepper grinders because I just love the taste and aroma of freshly ground pepper, however all have failed to impress in one way or another ,... well up untill I tried this Oxo one that is. I wish that I had found this one a long time ago as it does just what it says on the tin, grinds pepper, and does it very well, time after time. The little cap on the bottom is a bit of a pain but it is there to stop the residue from leaving a mess of your worktop like all the others so with this in mind it does its job well and I can put up with this one little foible. Would I recommend it? Oh yes, without doubt, I am a big fan of the very well designed Oxo range od kitchenalia.

come sempre con i prodotti oxo, non si rimane mai delusi
