Willow & Everett Salt & Pepper Grinder Set with Stand - Stainless Steel Manual Mills & Holder with Adjustable Coarseness, Refillable Design for Peppercorns & Rock Salt Sold Separately

I've owned a few different brands and types of grinders before, and these are quite similar. The last set I purchased had the exact same grinder heads, just on smaller glass bottoms. The grinders on those became, unfortunately, unusable due to clogging that resulted in breakage of the ceramic gear. I worry that, since these new grinders have the same heads on them, that these won't last longer than the last set. However, I read reviews of the "best" grinders out there, and these came just behind a more (much more) expensive set with metal gears instead of ceramic. They'd last longer, you might think, however, it was also mentioned that salt corrodes metal and so that's why the vast majority of grinders, mostly intended for use with salt, are made of ceramic. So why would I spend five times the price on the expensive ones? So far, I'm very pleased with this set. They're much more comfortable to use than my previous set, which had way smaller glass bases. I can really get a good grip on these. The little "dial" on the bottom, to adjust the coarseness of the grind, moves very smoothly on these. It was so difficult to turn the dials on the previous set - and mind you, these are exactly the same as the new ones - that I had to use a pair of pliers to turn them. Strange. I see this identical grinding mechanism on several of the grinders available on Amazon, so it makes sense to assume they're all sourced from the same manufacturer by different vendors. These also hold about twice the amount as my previous set - not a major hassle to refill, but nice not to have to bother with it as often. Quite elegant looking, too. The set comes with a nifty metal holder with prongs on either side that the grinders snap into place securely for transport from kitchen to dining table. They're inexpensive enough that you can easily afford to buy two sets for each end of your table. That's a nice touch if you're having several dinner guests or a large family, so you don't have to pass the salt and pepper around. I guess the $100 set with the metal gears might last longer, even with inevitable salt corrosion, but these will likely last a good long while with their ceramic gears and, if they do break down sooner, at least you could buy four or five of these sets for the same price. I recommend this set.

I'm never going back to an electric grinder again!!! I like my pepper on the fine side - I don't like to bite into a chunk of peppercorn. With those electric grinders, the peppercorns get stuck and the motors don't have enough 'oompf' to plow through. This handy dandy grinder absolutely does! I'm able to easily adjust the size of the grind and the mechanism is smooth and easy to handle. The shape feels good in my hand and the 1/2 cup container is a great size. You don't have to refill it too often. Between the shape of the grinders and the holder, I feel it looks nice on my table. I couldn't be more pleased!!

I ended up knocking one off the counter and it completely shattered. Only 3.5 feet. Disappointed. Lost the insides because who in their right mind wants to risk glass shards? Gave the remaining one to a family member since they had been hassling me for a grinder. Spared me the awkwardness of a 3rd grinder. Anyway, it was good while it lasted, it has adjustable grind settings, and while not always easy to rotate, was sturdy and reliable. They have a great holding capacity and a nice shape for comfortable grip. Large rotational area. I didn't really need to clean it because it's salt and pepper and ... that's it. But exterior wise, it was glass and metal and nice and sleek looking, and easy to wipe down. I will note, the first time I ordered this way back when, the stand was disfigured beyond reasonable management or use. The replacement was also slightly messed up, but much better comparatively. Now, I do not recommend this unless you have experience with welding or fire... but I turned on the stove burner and stuck the stand in the flames held by a pair of tongs, and then used other kitchen tools to adjust the stand while the metal was hot. Worked fantastic. Again, I don't recommend unless you have experience. But goes to show, it was sturdy when cool, and needed direct flame in order to adjust. It held up very well to being knocked over several times, and the part I fixed never moved. I maintain the 4 stars even though the glass was not shatter proof, because shattered glass is ecofriendly glass.

THIS SET, I LOVE! Absolutely love. When you buy something that you can't see and physically touch- You're always rolling the dice And whether or not you'll like what you receive.. I have bought a few grinder sets in the past, use for a bit and then toss, and back to buy another. This set is a keeper! It washed well, was easy to fill with a wider mouth opening and the grider worked perfectly. I also like having the ability of changing the coarseness, as our household members have different preferences. Looks nice on my table, and the stand was an added bonus. The size is large enough to not have to refill as often but not to big to look out of place. A good price, they look nice, nice grip and durability. I will be buying a couple more sets as gifts to those that have been here for dinner and mentioned that like them as well. I have no 'cons' to list on the product. I love everything about it. Look no further- you'll be pleasantly pleased.

Excellent buy, easy to adjust and use. Highly recommend.

Willow & Everett Salt and Pepper Grinder Set - Stainless Steel Manual Mills I bought this set because my smaller pepper grinder broke. This set is very similar in style, though larger. I really like it! The larger size is easier to handle and can store more pepper and salt inside it, meaning it needs less frequent refills. The adjustable grinder mechanisms work very well. The lids are easy to take on and off. The caddy is a little flimsy, but that wasn't why I bought the set. If you are swayed by the caddy, then you might be disappointed if it receives heavy use (like a family dinner table). But the mills and grinders themselves are good quality and a great bargain.

These grinders are seriously awesome, and I'm so glad I bought them. The little holder is a game changer for keeping them together, which I appreciate. Honestly, the size is just right, and they look really sleek on the counter. Plus, they feel super strong and built to last. They grind effortlessly and are easy to use, refill, and clean making them a great purchase. Oops, looks like it's time to refill the pepper! 🤣

These S/P grinders are simple but I love it. I've purchased several grinders over the years. Some powered, a set using levers to grind, other manual twisters — each with cute features — that all had flaws with filling ease or the powered versions just quit working. This set is so easy to fill, adjust, and use, look, and feel great in hand, and don't break the bank with gimmicks. This set is form and function at its best. UPDATE: So I purchased this set in Nov of 2024. As you can see, it was love. Of late, the grinders have become problematic…especially the salt grinder. The salt grinder got to where even adjust the grind size because it took all I could do to even get the adjustment screw cap to screw on. Salt was getting trapped so I disassembled the grinder cap and cleaned it over and over. With each use, the grinder got more loose. Tonight, it finally gave up. No. These grinders aren’t extremely expensive but, from the reviews and ratings, I’m highly surprised and disappointed.

You got shiny metal and clear glass, good quality, solid weight, have experience of store quality :-).. I live alone, like food, getting on in yrs, my kitchen matters. What better sitting there is one of these --> filled with Celtic sea salt and the other --> houses a pepper corn mix of 5 different colours. The grating is adjustable to preference and it is working well in both scenarios. The aesthetic is good in my kitchen room. Glad I have them, they have pride of place on my side dresser there.. ..almost everybody, young or old, tries them out when I have them over for eats.. if they stop working I will get another set but I do not expect so,, grinding is hardly audible, it just does its work..

Using it for about six months and it still works perfectly

We are liking the quality

Stora, bra! snygga!

Die Mühlen sehen gut aus, haben den Probelauf gut überstanden. Längerfristigen Gebrauchswert wird die Zeit zeigen. Was mir nicht so gefällt, ist der Ständer aber das wäre Meckern auf hohem Niveau für den Preis völlig in Ordnung.
