FAQs
Can I use these for spices other than salt and pepper?
While the ceramic mechanism is designed for salt and pepper, you could experiment with other dry spices. However, be aware that strong-smelling spices might transfer their aroma.
Are these mills adjustable for grind size?
The description does not specify an adjustable grind size. The ceramic mechanism is designed for a consistent grind.
How often do I need to refill the mills?
The capacity is 0.01L, which is relatively small. For daily use, you may need to refill them weekly or bi-weekly, depending on consumption.
What does FSC-certified mean?
FSC-certified means the rubberwood used comes from forests managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.
Are the colors safe for food contact?
Yes, the colors are applied using a stain and finished with a clear, food-safe lacquer, making them safe for use with salt and pepper.
Where are these mills made?
These mills are fabricated in China.
Can I buy a full set of all four colors?
The product information states they come in four coordinated colors and can be used to create your own set, implying you can purchase individual colors to build a collection.
Troubleshooting
Mill not grinding properly
Ensure the mill is properly filled and the cap is tightened. Check the ceramic mechanism for any blockages or debris and clean gently if necessary. Ensure peppercorns are dry.
Color appears uneven
This is a characteristic of the handmade stain process, designed to reveal the natural wood grain. Slight variations are normal and part of the product's unique appeal.
Wood finish dulling
Ensure you are only wiping with a damp cloth and have not used harsh cleaning agents. Reapply a food-safe mineral oil suitable for wooden kitchenware if needed, following product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These mills come ready to use. To fill, gently unscrew the top cap, pour in your salt or peppercorns, and replace the cap. Ensure the cap is secure before use.
Compatibility: The ceramic grinding mechanism is suitable for both salt (rock salt recommended) and peppercorns. Ensure the peppercorns are dry.
