is it easy to load peppercorns in?

You just unscrew the top and I use a teaspoon to load it. Not to difficult.

no problem , quite easy. just unscrew the top , take off the top and after filling screw it back.

Sure, use a plastic funnel or cup your left hand around the opening and pour them in with your right hand.

SuVan - it is the same procedure as with other peppermills we have owned: you unscrew the knurled metal top; lift off the wooden cover; pour in peppercorns; and replace the cover and metal top. And, this peppermill works BETTER than any I've ever used -- and I love freshly ground pepper.

The Pepper Mill works great on peppercorns, but to grind coffee would be a bit tedious.

It's tricky. Turn pepper mill on its side and remove the bottom cap by turning counterclockwise about 1/8th of a turn. With the mill still on its side, grab the metal handle and remove the battery pack. The mill can now be inverted and pepper added. Do not fill above the red cap inside. It won't work if you do. Slide the battery pack into the cavity with the mill inverted but be careful to turn it right-sided when contact is made and the mill begins to work. Engage the battery pack and put the bottom cap back on.I actually had to practice.I love the way it works but, even after having it for some time, refilling it is a pain and it doesn't hold a lot of peppercorns.

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

If you chop off the top of the pepper plant, it will be fine and will grow lots of side sprouts. It slightly slows the harvest but makes up for it in quantity.

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.

They recommend you layer with newspaper before adding soil,it worked well for me. I planted some bell peppers, det. tomatoes, basil, and parsley. I have other raised beds and this by far was the easiest to put together.

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.

It can be used for two types of peppercorns. Not sure where it's from. Great piece of design.

I find it easy, easier than my old staple gun. I really couldn't say if you would find it difficult.

Dan- this product that you posted under isn't an electric one... Have you seen the Cuisinart rechargeable ones? Wonder if those might be easier for you, since you don't have to mess with batteries? Cuisinart SP-2 Stainless Steel Rechargeable Salt and Pepper Mills I'm not sure how easy they are to fill. I did have some of the gravity operated ones, and they can be a little cumbersome to fill and change batteries, but I think you could manage with one hand- as long as you could brace them with your other arm...

I think it would probably grind "ROCKS". However, please don't try that one!! This is certainly sturdy enough to grind peppercorns. I can just smell the fragrance of sweet peppercorns in the air...I need to go cook now. Have a great day!

Haven't tried peppercorns, but would guess they would work fine. The chamber is small enough to keep them contained, the grind setting is infinitely adjustable, and a peppercorn has similar texture/hardness of a coffee bean.

Yes, it's simple and easy! And works great for veggies , I grind veggies and make sauces with it all the time. Good luck .

Absolutely. Just choose the Peppercorns or Salt of your choice. I prefer the Black Peppercorns and Sea Salt.

Yes, more peppercorns can be added when the original ones are gone. Unscrew the small silver nut at the very top of the salt shaker and carefully lift the salt container off without spilling the salt. The peppercorns go in the lower container in the bottom half of the unit. Fill and reassemble the unit.

Yes! Very easy! If I remember correctly, it pops in like a toilet paper holder (spring loaded).
