Alexander Mills Salt Grinder

Salt is highly corrosive and can quickly degrade metal grinding mechanisms. This mill uses a specialized, durable plastic mechanism specifically engineered to resist corrosion, ensuring the grinder remains functional and smooth over time.

The copper will naturally develop a patina over time, which many users prefer for its vintage aesthetic. If you prefer a bright, polished look, you can use a standard copper cleaner periodically to remove the oxidation.

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for salt. The internal mechanism is calibrated for salt crystals, and using it for peppercorns or other spices may damage the grinder or result in poor performance.

The top of the mill unscrews, allowing you to easily pour salt into the internal chamber. Once filled, simply screw the top back on and it is ready for use.

While the flanged base provides excellent stability on your countertop, the manual crank mechanism is designed to be operated with two hands—one to hold the body steady and the other to turn the handle.
