Alexander Mills Atlas Pepper Mill

The Atlas Copper Pepper Mill features an adjustable mechanism that allows you to switch between fine and coarse grinds. You can typically modify the setting by adjusting the screw located at the base or top of the mill, depending on the specific internal configuration.

Yes, because the mill is made of solid copper, it will develop a natural patina over time as it reacts to the air. If you prefer the original polished look, you can periodically clean it with a copper-safe polish to maintain its shine.

While designed primarily for peppercorns, the metal grinding mechanism is robust enough to handle other dry spices like coriander seeds or sea salt. Avoid using it for moist spices or oily seeds, as these can clog or damage the internal mechanism.

The mill is designed for easy access; you simply unscrew the top nut or remove the top section to open the internal chamber. Once filled with your preferred peppercorns, reattach the top and tighten the nut to secure it.

The metal mechanism is durable and does not require complex maintenance. To keep it performing well, avoid washing it with water, as moisture can cause the metal parts to rust or corrode. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and keep the grinding chamber dry.
