Flip 180 Chrome Mill Set

Bought this from Amazon (not an Amazon seller), arrived in good time and condition and was fantastic value. Looks very attractive & is practical due to the inverted design, and as others have said, leaves no mess when stored in the cupboard but would not suggest leaving it out for long periods of time in case of dust collection. Having said that it is easy to clean & easy to refill by pulling out the rubber stopper, which fits snugly back in again. I have not experienced any problems so would highly recommend this set. Update 2017: Both mills are still in great working order. Both mechanisms are ceramic, the C&M website advises against submerging them in water to clean and to keep the mechanism dry or air dry before use (use a damp cloth to wipe only). This year I did have difficulty with the pepper mill (stopped grinding) so decided to check here in case there were any tips in the reviews but instead found information elsewhere which helped. The peppercorn mill stopped grinding but it appeared to be due to a build up of residues from grinding peppercorns. I took some advise to use rock salt (another suggestion was uncooked rice) and grind it through to clean the mechanism and this worked great. Back to a perfect set! I wonder if the 'quality' of peppercorn/ salt makes a difference to how long the mills last (after seeing so many reviews recently which say they are not well built - these had great 5* reviews back when I bought them!) such as size of peppercorns & rock salt, and how firm they are or how well they keep.

Bargain. Look great and work well.

Over the last few years we have tried many salt and pepper mills, both battery-operated and manual but they have all had major design faults. The battery ones never seem to be strong enough to grind peppercorns and finding a decent salt mill is always a challenge. Finding a pair that both worked effectively appeared to be impossible. I read through the Amazon reviews on many sets before deciding on these, and awaited them with trepidation - would they be yet another waste of money? I am pleased to say that they are excellent at their job as well as looking handsome and of course there's no mess, either. A very simple, thoughtful and functional design. Well done, Cole and Mason.

I absolutely love these. BUT.... I've had two sets so far and they've both broken on me. The design of them is lovely - I love the fact that they are inverted. Filling is great, grinding is great. I'm even tempted to buy another set of these because I like the design so much. BUT.... in both sets after some use, the twisting portion of these has snapped off and there's no way to repair it - it just seems that they have a limited lifespan. If the company could fix that problem and make them more durable, then they'd be my absolute top recommendation.

These are probably the best S+P mills that I've bought for a very long time. So easy to refill and easy to see which is which! Good quality and weight. Cole & Mason are a reputable manufacturer so it is worth the extra bit of money to have the quality and the guarantee.

Very good quality and take a long time to wear out

I ordered this because I dislike the mess made by normal salt and pepper mills - especially the bits that got left in the kitchen cupboard where they were kept when not in use. This salt and pepper mill don't make the same mess as the grinder is at the top (you turn them upside down to use). The first time you come to use them it seems a bit unnatural to upturn them before using, but you soon get used to it. They come with salt and pepper already inside but when it's gone, refilling couldn't be easier - just pull out the rubber bung from the bottom of the mill, top it up, then push the bung back in. They look nice on the table too, I couldn't ask for more!

Lovely set very happy with this. Delivery was left on doorstep not handed to resident as described on Amazon delivery.

Tanto el diseño como la calidad del material y de la molienda, por fin encontré un modelo que funcione! Y es práctico, al no tener la piedra de moler hacia abajo, no ensucia todo cada vez que lo dejas en la mesa.

Endlich haben wir das gefunden, was wir schon lange suchten, kleine, optisch ansprechende Pfeffer- bzw. Salzmuehlen mit Keramikmahlwerk die auch in einer kleinen Kueche Platz finden. Der Artikel kam schnell und ordentlich verpackt hier an und hat all unsere Erwartungen erfuellt. Dies schrieb ich am 13. Mai 2013, zwei Tage vor der Rückgabefrist bei Amazon, da die Ware am 15.April gekauft wurde. Heute, am 21. Mai 2013 muß ich einen Nachtag schreiben. Zwar hatte die o.g Artikel alle unser Erwartungen erfüllt, aber leider nur bis heute, denn heute beim Kochen zerfiel die eine Muehle in zwei Teile. Dabei musste ich feststellen, das die Teile im Prinzip nur lose ineinander gesteckt sind und auf Dauer den "normalen" Belastungen im Haushalt gar nicht standhalten können. Hätte ich diesen Umstand beim auspacken und anschauen bemerkt, so wären diese Muehlen sofort zurück gegangen. So hab ich zu dem Verdruß auch noch den Ärger und muss schauen, ob und wie diese Reklamation abgewickelt wird, da bei Amazon nur binnen 30 Tagen eine einfache Rücksendung akzeptiert wird. Bin mal neigierig wie das gehandhabt wird.

Correspond bien à la description, très esthétique et fonctionne très bien. Vérifier just les dimensions, se ne sont pas des tout petits mais pas de problème sur la table sont impeccables. Et en plus pas de dépôt de poussière poivre sel car le côté moulinant été haut.

Prodotto inglese di qualità eccelsa. meccanismo di ceramica regolabile, materiali robusti e di qualità, design moderno. molto pulito il sistema poichè si macina da un lato e si ripone il macinino dall'altro: non si sporca nulla!!! ottimo!

Excellent value
