I have this pepper mill for several months. It is very easy to use, but cannot change the grind.

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

As you can already see, it is correct that on the bottom of the mill, there is a screw/round wheel you can turn to adjust the grind.

Bottom of the grinder there is a knurled nut. Clockwise to adjust finer, counterclockwise to adjust coarser. Love mine!

The more you turn screw on the bottom of the grinder out (counter clockwise) the coarser the grind should be. To make the grind finer, turn the peppermill upside down and turn the mill slightly back and forth like you are grinding. This will allow the pepper seeds to fall out of the grinding burr and make turning the adjusting screw easy to screw in.

I am a retired chef and have had mine for many years. It is by far the best on the market. Just turn silver nut at the bottom to change grind size. Clockwise for fine; counter clock for coarse.

I'll say. Had to use plyers to get a grip and leverage to adjust the grind size. Lucky I wanted a fine only grind size. I haven't changed since I used the plyers to set it the first time.

This is a true coffee grinder not the chopper type which could be used for herbs spices etc. I would put nothing in this mill other than coffee. For coffee it is excellent

You can adjust it to grind at different degrees of coarseness, and it is very consistent at whatever degree you choose. It is smaller than I expected, but otherwise very nice. I prefer it to the electric grinder when I am making less than a full pot. It takes too long to use for a full pot since you have to refill it 3 or 4 times.

I've ground a pretty wide variety of peppercorns through this mill (ada banyak variasi di Indonesia). And this is the best peppermill that I have ever used in that respect. It feeds well and the blades are as sharp as day one. My only complaint is that it grinds less finely than you would expect for a fine mill. I can only wonder what the coarse mill does, just crack them?

I have this grinder and like it very much. It is easy to clean, lift out the top of the grinder and use a coffee grinder brush for cleaning the attached part of the grinder and the part of the grinder that lifts out. I turn my unit upside down and remove any remaining coffee grinds using the coffee grinder brush. This brush can be purchased at Amazon.

There were no instructions in the package when I received this product. It's very simple to use and it works very well. Put your pepper or whatever spice you want to grind in the top after unscrewing the first section and turn until you feel you have reached the consistency that you want. My only concern is that it is small but other than that, it's fine.

Without a problem. I use it to grind all of my spices, even hard to grind seeds like flax seed and chia seeds. It really handles everything I have put in it- including peppercorns!

No, I don't think it is normal. I've had mine for quite a while and it still gives pretty consistent grinds. In fact, I think it's the best pepper mill I've ever owned -- and I've owned a lot of them.

I haven't used it for anything except pepper. But, this seems to be a fairly good quality grinder and the size of the grind can be adjusted which might be useful for different types of spices.

It is loose when the chamber is empty. As soon as you fill it with peppercorns you will feel the resistance when you turn the handle. The adjustment for the grind is on the bottom of the pepper mill.

Yes, it is adjustable from very fine to very coarse. The old model adjusted with the finial nut on top which had to be readjusted each time it was refilled. This new model the adjustment is on the bottom and does not change until you manually turn the dial; a real improvement over the old one. My initial grinder was purchased over twenty five years ago and has been used heavily in a restaurant kitchen daily. This model also has the added benefit of building strong wrists. It's a bit of a tough turn but once you get it going the it really produces.

Not only does this pepper mill the very best that I have ever owned or used, it is also the most consistent: the ground pepper comes out even and the setting can be fixed to deliver any kind of grind that you might need to use. The mechanism is fool proof while the wood is smoothly finished and its weight is balanced.

I have used it to grind whole peppercorns. Does a decent job. Grind for a few seconds, then check for desired consistency.

Simple, easy twist of a thumbscrew changes the grind. Also very easy to fill, no run away peppercorns. Good price point, too!

Yes, if you flip the grinder over, there's a brass screw that allows you to adjust the grind. We have our set for a pretty fine grind for black pepper, but it could go even finer.

I love this combo salt and pepper. It is so easy to fill and very easy to use. We have never had a problem with it being slippery. Unless you had oil on your hands I can't imagine how that would happen. This is the first time I have kept the same one more than a year. It is so easy to have both salt and pepper together. I first learned about this brand from a very high end restaurant in our community and loved it so much I tracked the brand down.

This is an easy to use, one handed salt/pepper mill. Perfect for cooking or topping off your food. This mill also features a blue led light which helps you see how much product is pouring out, which is very convenient .
