I use Malden salt flakes in my cooking but thought it might be better to mill them and perhaps use less salt. I love the 'action' of this mill - it's so easy to use and also easy to see when it needs refilling. I also don't have to unscrew it to refill but can spoon more flakes into it through the compartment which opens. Great design - just wish it was made in yellow which is my kitchen colour of choice!!

Habe diese Mühle in einem indischen Restaurant gesehen und war begeistert.Kein lästiges Batterien wechseln mehr. Einfach den hebel vor und zurück bewegen und fertig.Und durch die Öffnung vorne auch noch einfach zu befüllen.Also bis jetzt bin ich noch hellauf begeistert.

Very easy to use even if you have osteoarthritis in your hands.Ratchet action is extremely functional, grinds well.Not too heavy and is an iconic design.Thought they seemed a little pricey at first but now I know they're worth every penny.As a result, I now possess a total of three; white one for sea salt, red one for black peppercorns and green one for Sechuan peppercorns

I have one of each colour for salt, black pepper and white pepper. Love it. So easy to use.

El mecanismo de palanca funciona muy bien. Se siente muy robusto. Es fácil graduar el molinillo y una vez ajustado no se mueve. Tiene mucha capacidad de almacenamiento y la mirilla permite prever cuando haya que rellenar. Me gusto mucho

I had been 'humming and hawing' over getting these for ages as I had gotten into the habit of replacing all of my kitchen gadgets, but I decided against it as the simple glass (and somewhat dirt-cheap and recycled) salt and pepper grinders/mills I had been using were functioning perfectly, but this all changed last week when one of them broke. Having already done my 'research' and settled on getting these Kuhn Rikon ones, I gleefully decided to order one of the red ones to see what it was like.As always, it arrived super-quickly thanks to Amazon Prime, so I excitedly opened the package to see what the grinder was like, so without further ado, let's get on with the review!>>>>WHAT'S IN THE BOX?Er... What box? If you're expecting these to arrive in some fancy retail packaging, you're in for a bit of a let-down. My one arrived in one of Amazon's jiffy bags wrapped in a cellophane bag and with a carboard tag tied to it with an elastic band. I guess in terms of plastic pollution this is a good thing, eh?>>>>FIRST IMPRESSIONS?It's a little difficult to give a first impression on something which has just got a single purpose, but in terms of build quality and the quality of the grinder mechanism, it was love at first sight.>>>>FILL 'ER UP!As this comes with nothing much in the way of instructions, I was initially confused as to how to fill it with salt. There's nothing in the way of a bit that unscrews as is normally the case with salt/pepper mills, so it was with some delight that I pulled open the 'chute' on the side of the grinder and realised that this was how to fill it up! Within seconds I had a box of sea salt crystals and was gleefully filling up the grinder.>>>>RATCHET AND CRANKOh. My. GOODNESS, these things are fun! In addition to how kooky they look, they're equally kooky to use. Instead of the usual twisting mechanism that 99% of salt & pepper mills have, the mechanism on these comprises of a lever which you push forwards and pull backwards that turns the grinder. You can adjust the coarseness of the salt/pepper by turning the dial in the recess at the bottom of the gadget and then throw the lever forwards and backwards. The amount of salt/pepper that comes out while enthusiastically throwing the lever is impressive and the effort required to do so is minimal.>>>>SUMMING UPThese are absolutely fantastic salt/pepper/spice grinders with a great, kooky design and bold looks, which are surprisingly fun and tactile to use. I can't vouch for their longevity yet so the jury's still out, but I have no reason to believe that they're not going to last. There's one thing for sure though - you bring these out during a dinner party or when friends are around, and they're going to be a talking point.
