From The Manufacturer

A simple twist of the collar adjusts the coarseness depending on the recipe of the day. Our tests found that if you like even grains on both coarse and fine settings and grinders that aren't a fiddle to fill, it's generally worth paying more. Best salt and pepper grinders from our test Look for a grinder with multiple coarseness settings, as some of your guests may prefer their salt or pepper finely grounded, while others like it a bit more coarse. Typically, grinders offer between two and three adjustable settings, with the third being a medium coarseness.

These give a better fragrance and release a real burst of flavour. They also enable you to select the coarseness of grind. Consider the size and design of the salt and pepper grinder set. Smaller models take up less room but will require frequent refilling unless you live alone or have just one roommate. When it comes to design, you want a glass or clear acrylic base. This allows you to keep an eye on the amount of spice left in the grinder. Glass is a better choice when possible, as it doesn’t stain or retain odors. Some salt and pepper grinder sets don’t include the actual spices. You’ll need to buy your salt or pepper separately.

Manual vs. electric: To use a manual pepper mill, you'll fill a chamber and then turn a portion of the mill to grind the pepper. For electric grinders, you’ll fill a hopper and then push a button to grind. An electric grinder can be a good choice for those with dexterity or hand-strength issues, as the repetitive motion of grinding can get tiring with manual models. If you need or prefer to push a button rather than use a twisting motion, this electric grinder is for you. It's d esigned with two chambers so you can keep salt and pepper ready for use. The unit is rechargeable: Simply store it in the charging base — which includes a removable crumb tray that catches loose grounds for easy cleanup — and an indicator light will let you know the grinder is ready. The grind size is adjustable from fine to coarse, but the dial does not include preset grind sizes. Capacity: Mills are often sold with a height measurement listed. Generally speaking, a 12-inch mill will hold more peppercorns than a 6-inch mill. This affects how often you need to refill, the storage space required and how comfortable it will feel in your hand. Larger mills and grinders are often heavier as well, so if you have limitations, you might opt for a smaller model.
