Cole & Mason H59418GU Derwent Salt & Pepper Mill and Grinder Set, Copper

Having never spent more than £20 on these things, I broke out into a cold sweat when my better half suggested these. Once I had calmed down, I had the light bulb moment, the reason for needing new ones was my previous approach meant they never lasted. Anyway a few weeks in and these are without doubt the best mills we've ever had, solid build, consistent grind, no mess and they look great. Spend the extra, they are worth it.

No dislikes at all with these. Like others before me I have built up to these through a series of cheaper versions but this is the best if dearer model. Little to no spillage of either salt or pepper an excellent grind and a solid feel. The little tray that is available is also very useful to catch very minor grain spillage. As an addendum, My Partner would like to know what pepper is it filled with, it’s very spicy ?

It pays to pay proper money for a proper product

Sturdy high quality grinders. The multi selection for grinding from fine-medium-course is great as well. Equally at home in the kitchen when cooking or on the dinner table for use by company during a casual meal. These have replaced a few other sets that just didn't work that well.

Replaced an old wooden salt and pepper grinder in the kitchen with this set. The adjustable grind is easy to use a particularly useful on the pepper.

great product 100%

Very good salt an pepper set, stylish, elegant and functional.

Wonderful purchase- simply the best.

For years, my salt and pepper situation was... basic. I had the standard shakers that either dumped half their contents onto my plate or required me to perform some kind of percussive dance to get a single grain out. It was a culinary gamble every time. Then, I decided my spice game needed an intervention, and I ordered the Cole & Mason Derwent Grinder Set. Let me tell you, these aren't just salt and pepper grinders; they're kitchen jewelry. The copper finish? Chef's kiss. They sit on my counter looking all sleek and sophisticated, making my slightly-less-than-gourmet cooking feel instantly fancier. My toaster oven is clearly intimidated. But the real magic is in the grind. The pepper mill has, like, six settings! Six! I didn't even know there were that many ways to grind pepper. From a fine dust that disappears into sauces to a coarse, chunky explosion of peppery goodness, this thing delivers. The salt grinder is equally impressive with its multiple settings. I can finally achieve that perfect sprinkle without accidentally creating a salt lick on my steak. Using them is incredibly smooth. It's not a strenuous workout for your wrists; it's an elegant twist. They feel solid and well-made, like they could survive a minor apocalypse (or at least my clumsy handling). Refilling is easy too, though I did initially try to pour peppercorns into the grinding mechanism, which resulted in a small, spicy avalanche. Learn from my mistakes, people. Since getting these, I've noticed a difference in my cooking. Freshly ground spices just hit different. It's like my food suddenly woke up and realized it could taste amazing. My scrambled eggs are now events. My salads are experiences. I'm pretty sure my neighbors are wondering why my kitchen smells so much more... aromatic. If you're still using prehistoric salt and pepper shakers, do yourself a favor and upgrade. These aren't just functional; they're beautiful and they genuinely make cooking and eating more enjoyable. They've brought a little bit of fancy into my everyday life, and for that, they deserve all five stars. Five out of five perfectly seasoned bites!

Estamos encantados con el producto, no solo luce muy elegante, sino que también funciona perfectamente y con toda facilidad. Apenas giras un poco y sale la sal y pimienta triturados muy uniformemente y además el ajuste de fino o grueso es super preciso. En la posición mas fina es verdaderamente fino, y la mas grande deja los pedazos bastante grandes pero también uniformes. El resultado es que siempre puedes usarlo exactamente como prefieras y de forma muy sencilla.

I own another style of grinder by this brand, and since my other cheaper grinders just broke, I went looking for something by Cole and Mason. Their grinders are the best quality. They are easy to fill and easy to operate, and their mechanisms are very durable. I know these are expensive and that is why I hesitated for a few days before purchasing, but after reading countless reviews and comparison shopping on other sites I went with these. There only ever seemed to be cheap quality or high quality, nothing in the middle, and I decided instead of replacing cheaper ones every few years, I would just buy the good ones. My other set has lasted about 6 years so far without a hint of concern, whereas I’ve replaced the cheaters sets twice already. I believe these will last a lifetime. And they are pretty :)

Perfect anniversary gift for the tradition gift of copper. Couple loved it.

When you finally decide to throw away the old "salt & pepper" and upgrade, this is the UPGRADE you were thinking of. Solid, well made, clean lines, elegant and easy to use.
