Swissmar Munich Pepper Mill

Yes, the Swissmar Munich mill features an adjustable grinding mechanism that allows you to switch between fine and coarse grinds by tightening or loosening the top nut.

This specific model is designed for peppercorns. While it may physically fit other spices, the grinding mechanism is calibrated for the hardness of pepper, and using it for salt or other spices may cause premature wear or corrosion.

Refilling is straightforward: simply unscrew the metal knob at the top, remove the wooden lid, and pour your peppercorns into the chamber.

The Munich series typically utilizes a hardened steel grinding mechanism, which is known for its durability and ability to crack peppercorns efficiently rather than crushing them.

The finish is durable, but like all wood kitchen tools, it should be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can warp the wood or damage the finish.
