A celebration of the dining table and all those tools that enhance the pleasure of sharing and enjoying good food: this was the design concept for the “Grind” salt, pepper and spice mill by William Alsop and Federico Grazzini. Not simply a gadget for the table where meals are eaten, but an object that is part of an essential experience.

The designers have also introduced a small variation in the usual structure of this tool: when the Pepper mill is not being used, it sits with the grinding mechanism facing upward.

The grinder is thus clearly on display, stylishly framed by the distinctive design of the body of the Salt mill. It is a functionally important detail as, after use, it allows “Grind” to be set down on the table without scattering any ground spice residue on the table.

Specifications

Aluminium casting

Characteristics / Suggested use. The body of the pepper mill is made of die-cast aluminium with an interior in nylon, a material particularly suited to contact with foodstuffs It features a ceramic grinding wheel, the ideal choice for grinding any kind of spice.

The grinding wheel is housed in the top part of the pepper mill to avoid dirtying the surface on which the object is set down after use Easy to use, it allows different finenesses of grinding to suit personal preference and various types of spice: the part housing the grinding wheel can be twisted clockwise for finer grinding, or anti-clockwise for more coarsely ground spices Easy to fill. Simply turn the grinder upside down and remove the rotor in order to top up the container with spices.

To close, fit the rotor back onto the central pin and then press down lightly until it clicks back into place Available in two versions: aluminium and black painted aluminium Clean the pepper mill with a soft cloth; do not use abrasive detergents, which could damage the finish Expressive design for an everyday object that becomes a stylish, essential accessory to be displayed on the table Ideal for those who like to spice up their food, enjoying the fragrant aroma of freshly ground spices
