I've bought two pairs of Apollo mills now, one for my mother as a gift and, after being so impressed by them, one for myself.Firstly the mills are great to look at. All Stainless Steel, they stand out in any kitchen. They're also quite large, so hold a lot of product before needing to be refilled.They're very easy to use - the whole top half of the mill turns, meaning you don't have to struggle with a fiddly, small handle.They also have no spindle so you just pop the top off and pour in your product - very easy to fill up. Not a clue how they work without a spindle, but that's for someone else to worry about!The mechanism itself comes with a large number of settings, from quite coarse to fine,

I would agree with all the favourable comments. The only reason I'm breaking with the otherwise unanimous 5 star reviews is because I think the instructions don't make it properly clear about the correct procedure (as shown on their website video - not the video on this site) how to adjustthe grinding mechanism if it already full of salt. Turn the mill over with the mechanism on the top, rotate the body as if operating the mill. This releases the salt from around the ceramic wheel and then you can easily turn the grey adjusting knob. If you give the knob one turn and then operate the mill again you'll hear the pressure spring release and then you can very easily make the adjustment.

My original November 2010 review:At last. Someone has made a pepper mill that works actually properly. Don't waste your mone on any other mill.Update July 2011, 8 months on:I am having problems with this mill. Mine slowly accumulates pepper dust beneath a plastic ring seal at the base. Then when enough pepper has built up, the ring pops off without warning dumping it all over your food. This has happened 3 times now, which is huge disapointment as I really like the mill when it works as it is meant to. I will go back to the manufacturer to query the problem but it looks like my quest for a decent pepper mill continues...Further update July 2011:Company have been excellent so far. Very apologetic,

Reviewing this item is incredibly easy. This Pepper Mill is quite simply the single best item I have ever bought for my kitchen. Other mills don't even come close to the quality and efficiency of this product. It is a sheer delight to use. The 'secret' is that it uses a completely different system of 'grinding'. In essence it doesn't grind in the same way as other mills .... it uses ceramic discs to 'crush' the peppercorns into a wonderfully aromatic fine dust the consistency of which can be adjusted on the base of the mill.It may seem expensive but trust me it's not .... the build quality is exceptional and it has a lifetime guarantee. There is also the added advantage that you can refill the unit really easily (in about 5 seconds)

I've bought many salt and pepper grinders over the years only for them to break or corrode. This one is by far the best. I've only had it a week but from the start I could tell that it was going to be a a solid and reliable grinder.Speaking of solid, it is noticably heavier than my previous ones and feels very reassuring. I assume the manufacturers have gone for a ceramic grinding mechanism so the salt does not corrode it? Just guessing, as previous grinders have turned green over time as they reacted with the salt.More importantly, the stream of salt or pepper is substantial. It just pours out! Again, this is in stark contrast to previous models. You can also control the grain size by adjusting the dial underneath.

I bought this, as when it's not in use, it's inverted i.e. salt does not escape when standing on the table, like most other brands do; I'm forever cleaning the wasted salt up AND the metal grinding mechanisms on most other salt mills tend to rust with the chemical reaction of salt with any kind of metal. With the ceramic mechanism, I can grind VERY finely with a very good yield i.e. you don't have to twist it incessantly for a lot of ground sea salt to be spread on your food.It's easier to fill than my other salt mill, but still not as easy as I would like i.e. you can use a teaspoon to fill it so the opening is larger AND it is without that aggravating metal bar in most other salt/pepper mills.I've been using the Cornish Sea Salt brand in this product,

These are undoubtedly excellent mills and if I do not add to others' praise it is simply to avoid repetition. I will however make a couple of observations to cover points I don't think have been mentioned by recent reviewers:1. They are very solidly constructed, which makes them heavier than the average mill. The shape however means they don't slip out of the hand easily2. They are 'fatter' than average.As a result, and with the materials being naturally a little slippery, I would not recommend them for people with gripping difficulties such as arthritis sufferers, where a smaller/grippier mill would be better (the T&G web site is a good place to review the entire range which uses this mechanism).If you are wondering how they fill,

This is a great pepper grinder! Made of stainless steel and simply styled (if not a little plain) and effective. It's only 15cm high, so it's certainly not grandiose or impressive looking, but on the other hand, it doesn't take too much room on the table (or the cupboard) - it's about the size of a small (thin) 200ml water bottle.The grinding plates are very responsive and have a very satisfying feel to it. A variable dial on bottom allows you to set fine to coarse grains. Refilling is simple with an effective stopper on the top that simply pulls on/off.We also bought a second "pepper" grinder to use for salt, as the reviews for the matching salt grinder are not as good. Salt also grinds very,

Finally, a pepper mill that works consistently and effectively! Great design too. Ergonomic to use and practical to refill. The adjustment at the bottom is simple and easy to use. Looks very stylish in a modern kitchen. Not sure why other people have complained about telling the difference between the salt and the pepper mill - I think its quite obvious myself, just look at the top and it tells you! Yes, they are both exactly the same grinder but it makes sense to buy the respective "salt" and "pepper" grinder to have the definitive markings on the top. Top tip: if you are worried about unsightly finger marks all over the stainless steel,

I bought this in October 2011. Thought I would run it in for 4 years before leaving a review.So how has the pepper mill fared? Amazing.I am a heavy pepper user. This has had a lot of daily use. It still works today just like it did when I bought it.I like that:You can vary the size of the peppery bits (not sure what else to call them).It takes a good amount of pepper cornsIt needs just a bit of twisting to get the pepper to come outIt looks good and has not tarnished at all.It is heavy enough to hold open the pages of a recipe book.It is expensive yes. I am not one to spend money on frivolous items that I could get cheaper, however if it was to break (which seems unlikely) I would definitely buy another one.

If it was possible to give this pepper mill ten stars I would do. After years of enduring various 'traditional' pepper mills which 'grind' the peppercorns into very unsatifactory tiny lumps this unit is a complete revelation.It doesn't grind the peppercorns ..... it crushes them between two ceramic discs. The result is a beautifully aromatic coarse powder of fresh pepper like you've never experienced before.The unit is also extremely easy to refill .... you simply take off the cap at the top and add more peppercorns .... there is no central bar to get in the way.The fact that the CrushGrind is guaranteed for life is the icing on the cake. This item does EXACTLY what its says on the tin.

Having accepted many years ago that there is no such thing as a pepper grinder that actually grinds pepper, I also accepted that despite my daily upper body work out trying to achieve that perfect seasoning balance that television chefs applaud themselves for, my store of peppercorns remained at largely the same level in the cupboard except for the occasions when I got out the mortar and pestle in desperation.Unfortunately I now have a pepper grinder which actually grinds pepper, and now the novelty is over, the downside is becoming apparent, the cost of refilling it on a regular basis. So if you want to keep your peppercorn stash for several decades, do not buy this grinder.

I bought this because my Cole & Mason mill wouldn't grind pink peppers.Nor will this one; in fact the ceramic mills clog up even faster than the stainless steel ones because the oily paste from pink peppers sticks harder to the ceramic. I know because I dismantled both of them to clean them.I now know that pink peppers are not really peppercorns at all but oily berries. The flavour is comparatively weak and they're better not ground at all but added whole when cooking.This grinder looks good and works well. "Crushgrind" isn't a new way of doing it (the mechanism is the same) and the claim ought to be that it grinds anything that is grindable. That said,

This is simply an excellent pepper mill. It's easy to fill- the top pulls out to reveal a large hole to pour peppercorns into, so there's no fiddling about unscrewing things, no need to fill it with a funnel and no peppercorns going all over the kitchen worktops. It holds plenty of peppercorns and grinds them very effectively. I tend to use it on the finest setting but even so it doesn't take much twisting to dispense a large quantity of pepper. I bought it for the kitchen but it's stylish enough to go on the dining table. It feels solid and well-made and I'm confident that I'll get many years of use from this item.I have no hesitation recommending this item. If you use a lot of pepper and are tired with fiddly,
