Are peppercorns included?

The mill has peppercorns in it when it arrives and then you have to add your own after that first batch is ground.

I have just been using the peppercorns from Costco and they work just fine.

Shirley, I haven tried that, but I think the cumin and cardamon would be fine. I wouldn't try anything bigger than peppercorns...or anything harder either. I hope this helps you. It is a sturdy little grinder!

They look the same. I will tell you that the pepper doesn't grind as well as the salt. I think if's a function of the difference between the salt crystal, very hard and dense and the peppercorn, which somewhat hollow. I don't know if the 2 mills are interchangeable but I think the odds are pretty good that they are. C

Just regular black peppercorns is what I use. Try loosing the brass nut at the top. If it feels tight, then it won't grind. It should be a little loose.

After pulling out a couple of handfuls to grind into crushed red pepper, I still had about 75% of the bag left. I counted 80 as I was removing the stems from the ones I pulled out for grinding, so my best guess would be that the package contains over 300 peppers. Why this other person only guessed 50, I can't say. Radically different sized peppers? Or perhaps the person is really, really bad at estimating? Who knows... I just know that I've got a LOT of peppers left even after using 80 of them. I ordered my 3.5 oz. package from the seller Swang-Anong.

yes, indeed they do. I rarely use this feature, because I prefer to grind the freshly ground pepper over the food.There is a screw at the bottom of the grinder that controls coarse to finely ground pepper.

I don't know. We have had no problem but we haven't used lots of different peppercorns. I'm sorry you are having a problem. Why don't you ask the manufacteror.

Mine had: ground nutmeg, ground ginger, Saigon cinnamon, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, ground mustard, chili powder, basil leaves, tarragon leaves, crushed red pepper, bay leaves, thyme leaves, Italian seasoning, dill weed, rosemary leaves, oregano leaves, rubbed sage, chopped chives, parsley flakes, cream of tartar, sesame seed, fennel seed, and poppy seed. I don't know if these come in all of them or if McCormick switches them out, but it was boxed up in a box from McCormick so we know it wasn't Amazon that chose the spices. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have a pair of these and use one for salt and one for peppercorns. Nice quality.

Mine came with: savory, fennel, coriander, marjoram, mint, celery salt, herbs de provence, italian seasoning, pizza seasoning, seasoning salt, dill weed, rosemary, basil, parsley, chives, sea salt, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, cilantro. The labels peel off so you could reassign each jar but you would have to create your own label.

No it didn't come with anything. We get peppercorns from costco and Himalayan salt from amazon.

You have to get them from cajohns to be sure that they are the actual Carolina Reapers. Other people sell them but alot of the time they aren't as hot as his. Cajohns are the hottest peppers out there.

I dont know. Yesterday one of the pins came out and I was just grinding tobacco. I would probably use something a little more heavy duty so I wouldnt use it for peppercorns.

I don't know. All I can say is that it is small, only about 5" high and 1" wide. The peppercorns grind out coarse, not fine.
