How much salt/pepper does the grinder container/barrel hold? Looks kind of tiny.

I would say a 2-4 tablespoons - you can only see a little bit that shows, but the whole barrel is full. Plenty - I only fill mine maybe once a year and I use them daily.

They are small. I've had my set for several months now and have not filled either one. But then We don't use them every day. But remember you are filling with whole peppercorns and rock salt. So when grinding you actually have a bit more than you think.

They each only holds about 3 tablespoons, but that amount lasts a surprisingly long time. I have to fill my pepper shaker every 4-6 weeks, but have only filled the salt shaker once in 4 months.

Hello Maria, this is Maria :-) from Grind Gourmet, these mills hold quite a bit, unless you have a salt or pepper addiction :-) it takes a while before you need to refill them, besides if you had to refill the beauty of these mills is how easy they are to fill.... you do not need to be an engineer to figure out how to put it back together simply remove the bottom piece fill and put back together. We hope this helps! Have a wonderful day.

Small. Maybe half an inch. You can fit alot of pollen in it though. If you need anything bigger youre probably dealing with pollen in 10g+ amounts. From trimmings and whatnot. Works well though. Both the grinder and press are of good quality.

4 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide excellent product very easy to grind salt

While I haven't measured it, I'd say each side holds about 1/8th of a cup. Certainly more salt or pepper than our family uses for several days.

Sorry, Jessica, Amazon referred your question to me and I bought the pepper mill. That was my confusion about why you were asking about salt. Great grinder though even without the cap.

It is small but I don't think it's supposed to be any bigger. I use mine for grinding up my whole spices and making salsa and guacamole. It hold approx. 1 cup without difficulty.

It is 4.5" tall, 3" wide. The bulb that holds the salt is about the size of a baseball. It will grind into fine salt.

It does hold a decent amount of salt although I don't use it as my regular salt/pepper shaker. It is my extra. I am very happy with it.

It's just salt... There shouldn't be any problem with grinders unless they are cheap plastic grinding wheels. It's no harder than typical table salt

They are six inches tall. I opened my pepper mill and the hole is 1 inch across and about 4 inches deep. It will hold a little more than 1/4 C of peppercorns. I didn't open the salt shaker, but it holds a good deal of salt, I am guessing it has about as big an inside measurement as the pepper - probably a little more, as there is no mechanism and the hole would go clear to the top.

I like Fresh ground pepper so I don't put in much more than I'm going to use. I doesn't seem to make any difference to the grinder how much there is in it.

This salt is mixed large and small. It did not work in my grinder. It kept falling out the bottom....

Hi Mary - I bought the salt and pepper mills a couple of months ago. I was *very* happy with their appearance, but couldn't quite figure out the battery insertion/unit assembly/disassembly. I just defaulted to the company's web site: http://uk.russellhobbs.com/pdf/12051-56_salt_and_pepper_grinder.pdf where all questions were answered - including how you adjust it for the grind size. I *love* this product and hope you do too. Thanks, Lele

No minimum.It is a bit bulky to get in and out of wherever it's being stored though--I know I don't grind as much as I thought I would because it's bulky and it's a bit large to be on the counter (for me anyway, I like my cleared-off counter space).

they do have a salt grinder, not a shaker. if you go to the pepper grinder and scroll down a bit you'll see it.

While its 9" tall it requires a 6" square base storage area - accounting for the cable plug that sticks out a bit in the back and the control knobs in the front. Great grinder. Others use it for coffee but I use it to grind spices - consistently every single time.

Hi, Daniel. I'm away from home right now and don't have the salt grinder with me, but it is approximately 4" tall and possibly 2 3/4" wide. It does not take up a lot of space, but because the base is so round, it holds quite a lot of salt. I can say with certainty that it is able to grind the salt very fine. The adjusting mechanism is very easy to use and will produce anything from somewhat coarse to superfine.
