How much pepper does its chamber hold?

I don't have a measured amount, however, it does hold a substantial amount of pepper. I have a number of pepper mills and the OXO holds the largest amount of pepper, of them all. David

The chamber is about 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall. I didn't measure the contents but it's definitely over 1/2 cup of peppercorns.

I put a whole little 2oz container in. I have been using it a few weeks now and it is the best one I have ever had

Very, very minimal..if any at all. This pepper mill is the finest I have ever had.

You may have filled it too much. Try pouring out some of the pepper and try again. Make sure the two pieces interlock.

I would use 16 for salt and 6 for pepper . I think the 16 slot would be put to much pepper on your food.

I got mine the same exact way -- bubble wrapped, no box, few peppercorns inside. Trying to refill with peppercorns is impossible -- I can't get the center spindle out, so have to put just a few peppercorns at a time into the chamber to refill. Really ridiculous contraption. If the center spindle is meant to come out, they need to provide directions on how to do that, mine would require a hammer and pliers, and that would probably break the unit. Plus the chamber is really little, so it only holds about two tablespoons of peppercorns. I like to add freshly ground pepper to recipes, so each refill doesn't go very far.

The useable capacity completely depends on what you're working with. 2 TBS for hard peppercorns; 6 TBS for lemongrass...

Remove the cap. Pull it and then you will find the space or hole for fill the pepper

It fills from the bottom. It is not a grinder like the pepper container. I missed this when I ordered mine.

It holds 4 cups liquid but when using it for veggies and such I can get away with one good size onion, a green pepper and maybe a bit more. If you put in too much it get's a little harder to crank. The nice thing is if I'm doing a lot of stuff I do it in stages and it only takes maybe 10 seconds or so to chop it. I usually quarter things which is no big deal. What I like about this unit is that it has suction cups so it stays put and i don't have to try to hold it in place. Sorry, a lot of answer for an easy question.

The top two containers hold about a quarter cup and the bottom one holds about a half cup. I keep salt in the bottom and red pepper and black pepper in the smaller ones.

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.

The inside diameter is about 3 inches, and the wall of the container is just under 1/2 inch. The top two containers hold 1/3 of a cup of seasoning great for pepper and another seasoning you might not use as much, for us it is coarse kosher salt in one and black pepper in the other. The bottom tier holds 2/3 of a cup. I like that when you need to just get into the bottom you can swing open the top two and not have it be top heavy.

I'm not exactly sure as mine hasn't run down yet. However, I have filled my pepper mill 4 times now & it's still going strong.

Not a lot - maybe a 1-1/2 pints, at the very most. And the firing stream is weak after the first couple of shots :(

It doesn't hold a lot. Just a 1/4 cup or so of pepper and salt. I love it though. It's perfect for the table. I saw it at Season's 52 restaurant and had to have it. I'm very glad I got it.

yes! I don't think it comes filled with pepper. The bottom twists off so you can fill it.

It can hold 6 to 7 depending on the size of the spice bottles. Avoid buying too much of the McCormick bottles they some will only fit on the top.
