Alexander Handmade Mills Salt Grinder

This model is engineered exclusively for salt. It features a specialized, non-corrosive grinding mechanism designed to handle the specific hardness and moisture content of salt crystals, which is different from the mechanism required for peppercorns.

The top of the mill unscrews, allowing you to easily pour coarse salt into the internal chamber. Once filled, simply screw the top back on to secure it.

Yes, because this is made from solid brass, it will develop a natural patina over time with exposure to air and handling. Many users prefer this aged, vintage look, but you can easily polish it with a standard brass cleaner if you prefer to keep it shiny.

The crank design offers more leverage and control, making it easier to grind larger amounts of salt without tiring your wrist. It also provides a more tactile, traditional experience that many home cooks find satisfying.

While it is designed for a consistent, high-quality grind, it is primarily optimized for a standard table salt texture. It does not feature a complex dial for switching between fine and extra-coarse settings.
