I thought I would love these but I don’t. I like them sure enough. They feel a little overpriced in my opinion. The solution for not leaving salt and pepper all over the table is a brilliant design concept. I have put salt in the dark green and that was probably a mistake as there is salt dust just under the rim which looks unsightly. You probably wouldn’t notice it in the paler mill. When rotating the dial for coarser grains the top becomes wobbly and in all honesty I can’t see the difference between fine and course. That said, they look good on the table. Would I buy again? The jury is out!

Such a great idea as I hated having salt and pepper all over my work tops. Well made as every product from Joseph Joseph is. I get teased by my family as they asked had I won the lottery buying these products but they are built to last and worth every penny.

I love the look and feel of these mills, but tbh it is style over substance. I am a big fan of ‘JJ’ but have pondered on whether to send back. The gradient on the grinder is pretty non existent, hard to tell the difference, and the first salt I used which was rock salt was such a fine powder it clogged around the top and when you picked up the mill salt would go everywhere. I change to sea salt and it was a little better, but after a couple of days of use the grinder just dumps out salt dust in one hit. I have lots of ‘JJ’ products that I love, but not this one.

Poor grinding mechanism. From large to small grains there is minimal to no difference. Both pepper and salt grains are too fine at maximum setting. When turned to largest grain symbol the grinding knob becomes floppy. It can fall out as there is no stop as you screw the mechanism to the largest grain size.

After many buys of plastic and wood mills and them never lasting or forever clogging up I think these may be the solution..only two weeks in but perfect grinding so far..easy to refill and feel nice in the hand.ceramic grinder mechanism is the way forward :+1:

Loved these and have used them for about three years but the salt mill has broken after I tried to clean it as the top will nit screw back on I have cleaned it regularly with no problem before Pepper mill is fine but it seems I cannot replace just the salt mill

When looking for a new set we looked at Joseph Joseph as having already owning some of their other products we knew they would be well designed, look nice and work well. We are very pleased, very easy to fill from the bottom, no mess after use as the grind comes from the top . They look pleasantly and feel nice to use and easy to handle.

Salt often sits in the top resulting on excess amounts coming out. The threaded bar that holds the top on has also sheared off and Joseph Joseph don’t have spare or sell individually so if I wanted to replace I would have to buy a pair again. I will not be buying again.

I bought one of these for my son-in-law. He was so impressed. My daughter Katie loved it so I bought her one. Also I will treat myself to one when I have my kitchen changed next year.

I do love these salt and pepper mills, they look good and work well and I do hope they stand the test of time. I particularly like the grind gradient, the best I have had before.
