How do you adjust the pepper grind on this combo ? There seem to be a way but no instructions. There are different size dots on the bottom ?

Until I read this question, I did not know that grinders could be adjustable. Now I have tried moving that dial, and seems bigger pieces always slip through. No instructions came with it. My experience with pepper grinders is eventually the pepper grinds too big, and then I replace it. Sorry I can't be of help.

Turn the black inner wheel with the dots to the level of courseness you prefer.

Very easy. Unscrew the cover on the bottom. Pour in the peppercorns. Screw in the cover. It's a large opening. Holds a lot of pepper, so you shouldn't have to do this too often.

I've only used pepper corns and haven't tried to adjust it ... sorry, I don't know the answer.

I don't recall there being a way to adjust these. These work well, however, they don't hold much. I later purchased these Kuhn Rikon 9-Inch Ratchet Salt Pepper Grinder, White and like them much better. These CAN be adjusted.

1.Remove the top lip like you do when you shake out the material. 2. Turn the grind adjustment to the most course setting you can. (CLOCKWISE). 3. Grab the glass bottom with one hand and the top plastic with the other hand unscrew (COUNTER-CLOCKWISE). This does take a lot of force 4. Fill. 5. Return plastic plastic. Adjust the GRIND setting adjustment back to original setting. Hope this helps. Also keep the threads free from the material for this can add additional resistance making it harder to open.

I think it works with other kind of peppercorn, just adjust the knob for fine or coarse grind.

Turn it base up. Remove the base. The chrome portion separates into two peaces. Inside is a battery pack. Remove the battery pack andd add peppercorns. Rem....bas up or you will spill peppercorns.

Same with mine. It seems to have been designed that way. It doesn't cause any inconvenience. A more complex design would make it much more difficult to load the pepper.

Have to assume a misalignment. Mine has consistently ground pepper to the uniform consistency. Works much better than some of the metal ones I have had.

I've never tested adjusting the salt grind, but the pepper grinder is def adjustable.

That is not the one I own, but you probably just have to unscrew the top for the salt and the bottom for the pepper.

It helps to push the pepper grinder together and then twist. Also, make sure to line up the arrows as the other answer says!

Nope, no adjustments. It's nice to be able to operate this with one hand, but your thumb gets tired after a while if you love to use a lot of pepper. It's mainly for people who want just a little pepper. I will sell you mine, LMK if interested: dbkf16@gmail.com.

I had trouble too opening mine at first. You open them by unscrewing/twisting off the caps at the opposite end from the grinding device. It took a little patience because they're tightly inserted and fit down over the metal post inside that's part of the grinder assembly. I seem to remember that I took a very thin knife blade to do some gently prying between the glass and the cap to get it started. It's a very nice little set, very handy and small for taking your salt/pepper with you for things like picnics, travelling, etc.

My grinder works great. Regarding your problem, you could try replacing the batteries or possibly changing the type of salt/pepper your using. Good luck!

Yes. You can control the size of the grinds by adjusting the metal knob located on the top of the peppermill.

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.
