Cole & Mason Derwent Pepper Mill

You can easily select your preferred texture by rotating the stainless steel collar at the base of the mill. It features six distinct settings, ranging from a fine powder for delicate dishes to a coarse grind for steak or hearty stews.

No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for peppercorns. The hardened carbon steel mechanism is optimized for the hardness of pepper, and using it for salt can cause corrosion over time.

Refilling is straightforward thanks to the top-lift system. Simply pull the top cap off the mill to expose the wide opening, pour in your fresh peppercorns, and snap the cap back into place.

Unlike plastic or ceramic alternatives, the hardened carbon steel mechanism is designed to slice through peppercorns rather than crushing them. This ensures a consistent grind and releases the maximum amount of flavor and aroma from your spices.

The acrylic body is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints or kitchen residue; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to keep the finish clear.

The guarantee covers the internal carbon steel grinding components against defects in materials or workmanship. If the mechanism fails to perform as intended under normal kitchen use, Cole & Mason will replace that part.
