Est. 1982

The last pepper mill you will ever buy.

Ceramic burrs that grind anything up to a coffee bean. A clear cup that catches every turn. A mechanism we have warrantied for life since 1982.

Why it is different

Four things no other mill does at once

Most mills grind onto the counter and wear out in two years. This one has been the same design since 1982 because it never needed fixing.

The catch cup

A removable clear base collects your grind so you can measure it into a recipe. It is the feature people write to us about.

Ceramic burrs

Corrosion-resistant ceramic grinds anything millable up to a coffee bean. Salt will not destroy it the way it does steel.

Infinitely adjustable

Twist from powder-fine to butcher-coarse. No presets, no clicks, no settling for close enough.

Side-handle grip

5.5 inches tall with an ergonomic side crank. One hand, no wrist strain, no wrestling it over a hot pan.

The Traditional Pepper Mill

Choose your colors

Every one is the same mill inside: the same ceramic burrs, the same clear cup. Pick the one that suits your counter, or take the salt-and-pepper pair.

The daily grind

Forty-four years of not changing it

A new pepper mill has just been introduced on the market and it is one of the best I have come across. Called PepperMate, it is a sleek and beautifully designed model about six inches high, attractive and easy to operate.

Pierre Franey, The New York Times, June 25, 1982

We have made the same mill, the same way, ever since. The colors changed. Nothing else did.

1982

PepperMate opens. Pierre Franey reviews the mill in The New York Times that June.

1990s

Ceramic burrs replace steel. The last meaningful change to the mechanism.

2000s

The mill turns up on the Ina Garten cooking show. Home cooks start buying them in pairs.

2010s

The palette grows. Same body, same burrs, new colors for the counter.

2020s

Thousands of five-star reviews across every shelf we sell on, and the design still has not changed.

Today

Cooks who bought one in the eighties are still grinding with it, and ordering a second for their kids.

Our very old traditional pepper mill has died... but where can you find a product that lasts 50 years! We have used it almost every day.

John Uhl Reviewed May 2023

★★★★★

Every time we entertain our guests ask about our PepperMate, and if they're cooks they order one. Wouldn't be without it in our kitchen.

Albert Clark Verified buyer

★★★★★

My wife LOVES it! Very easy to change the grind.

Built to be repaired

A $2.99 part beats a new mill

We still stock every component for mills we sold decades ago. If a tray cracks or a top goes missing, that is a three-dollar problem, not a forty-dollar one.
