Brass Mill Salt & Pepper Grinders

‘Brass Mill’ from Greek Alexander Handmade Mills (also known as Atlas), is a beautiful, traditional grinder with a crank and beautifully chiseled patterns. It’s available for salt and pepper, as well as other dried spices. “Brass mill” are made of solid brass with a material thickness of at least 1 mm and are equipped with a solid, cast grinder that is designed so that it grinds the spices optimally. The 3-part grinding mechanism first guides the spice down into the mechanism, after which it is coarsely ground and finally completely finely ground. The Alexander Mills are tried and tested products that have been into market since 1977 and they meet high standards of quality and functionality.

Instructions for use and care

NOTE: To avoid scratches on the outside, models with a hand crank comes with the handle hidden inside the grinder itself upon delivery. YOU JUST HAVE TO OPEN THE GRINDER AND TAKE OUT THE CRANK FOR MOUNTING.

Before use, it is recommended to grind a small amount through the grinding mechanism of the mill and discard it.

In most of the mills, the handle is inside the mill body and must fitted before the mill is put to use for the first time. Unscrew the bolt in the tope of the mill and remove the top, and take out the handle, put the top back on, put the handle on top of it and tighten the nut.

To insert peppercorns or salt, unscrew the bolt at the top of the mill and remove the top. 

Care: The outside of brass mills will naturally oxidize and develop a patine over time and through use. If you want to maintain a bright and new look, you can polish the outside of the mill with a soft cloth applied with regular metal polish, Never wash or immerse the mill in water, as water will corrode the mechanism.
