Zassenhaus"Frankfurt" Olive Wood Ceramic Pepper Mill

I bought this pepper mill as a matching companion to the salt grinder (by the same manufacturer) that I bought a few years ago. German made quality and beautiful olive wood. My favorite part is that I can adjust it to a very, very coarse grind. Perfect for the home gourmet cook, like me!

I've had this product for a year now, and it works just as smoothly now as it did when I purchased it. I enjoy the clean and sleek look, the wood is and nice quality bamboo. The grinder mechanism is smooth, easy to change the settings, and it arrives filled with peppercorns. Of the six different sizes settings, I find that the smallest setting is best, as anything larger is simply too big, although that's personal preference. I ended up choosing this product for its 25 rear warranty. If I were to purchase this pepper mill or a different one, I'd still choose this one.

Best pepper grinder I’ve ever used. Has six settings from fine to coarse. Feels wonderful in the hand, turns easily. Beautiful styling and lovely wood grain. Worth the money.

I have maybe written two reviews in my life because usually you get what you pay for but, this salt and pepper mill is absolute garbage. I bought both the pepper and salt grinder thinking that the company Zassenhaus would have made a quality product that stand behind their claims. I wanted this grinder because it claimed to be corrosion resistant and made from mostly natural materials so I could limit any plastics or harmful materials getting into my food. I figured that even though the product was expensive for a salt and pepper mill that it would be good enough quality that it would simply grind salt and pepper and I would never have to think about it again. However, after three months of minimal use, the pepper grinder was getting clogged and I would have to take it apart to fix it, as well as, the salt mill's metal parts were rusting! I tried to return the product and it seems that the window of time to return the item has passed. So it seems that I have wasted about 70$ for nothing. For 70$ I could of bought a life times supply of pre-grinded salt and pepper. I am really upset at the company because its not that I didn't use the product correctly or that my particular mill is just defective, its that the materials and design of this product are simply not appropriate for a salt and pepper mill. Hopefully the company will recall their product or just go out of business. Please don't listen to the 5 star reviews. Most of them were written right after they received the product so they haven't had enough time to watch there mills rust away. I bet most people haven't even check to see if their are rusting.

I bought this for my girl and she absolutely loves it. Matches other Olive wood in the kitchen perfectly. Very high quality. Pricey for sure, but worth it if you appreciate nice workmanship.

This is a very decent pepper mill. I personally prefer the crank style grinder since they give more output for use in the kitchen. Also, I was looking for a match to my bamboo salt cellar. But the grinder is good... maybe doesn’t adjust (tighten) down to as fine a grind as I prefer.UPDATE 4/28/21: this grinder is still looking and working great. ALSO, I take back what I said about adjustability, there is an adjustment on bottom to select coarseness of the grinder and it works great. Goes from just cracked coarseness to powder fine and the settings are detented so you can put it on a setting and it’ll stay there without slipping. Also, it makes it easier to remember where you had it set for a particular coarseness. FIVE STARS!

These are not the cheapest grinders by far but they should out performance most if not all others. German made, fully adjustable ceramic grinder mechanism which will stand up to salt. Nice olive wood body and great feel. I ordered the matching pepper grinder and the stand for both to complete the set! Should last a lifetime or more with nominal care.

I thought this was a bit spendy for a Peppermill, but I am very glad that I went ahead and bought this one anyway. The wood is beautiful, and the milling action is flawless. The grind adjustment is very easy, and actually works! The mill is easy to operate, even for my weakened hands. I had previously been using an electric pepper mill, due to my hand weakness.

Dopo due anni e sette mesi la macina si è rotta (vedi foto allegata). Acquistato badando solo alla qualità del prodotto e della ditta costruttrice, in realtà si è rivelato una totale delusione.

Schaut sehr gut aus und erfüllt seinen Zweck

I like the look of the olive wood and that its made by zassenhaus.

Der Preis tut schon ein bisschen weh ;) aber der Kauf lohnt sich tatsächlich! Stark, langlebig (meine Oma hat es schon ewig!), zeitlos schön und gutes, homogenes Mahlergebnis auf allen Stufen. Es kommt auch ordentlich was raus, und zwar nur Pfeffer und kein Plastikabrieb wie bei vielen billigeren Geräten. Kann ich rundum empfehlen!

Sehr handlich und ausgezeichnetes Mahlwerk
