A pepper mill may not be something that most people think a lot about. I cook a lot and use black pepper very often but I have only ever used very cheap pepper mills. They are very frustrating as they often grind inconsistently. The one I own now is the standard type mill where you load a central chamber and twist the wooden top. There is a little metal knob on top which is supposed to control the coarseness of the grind. On this cheap model when you twist the top to grind the pepper it gradually starts to loosen the knob and change the size of the grind which is really frustrating. I decided it was time buy a good quality pepper mill.I saw Rick Stein use a pepper mill on TV where the pepper was grinded by rotating a handle lever on top rather than rotating the whole top.The one he used was metal and looked like an antique. So I began to look around for a pepper mill of that type. This led me to the Zassenhaus Speyer on Amazon. When I first saw the pepper mill on Amazon I thought it was a really beautiful object. It looks like an item from a different era and I felt it would add a real touch of class to a table. It also described what seemed to be a very concise and accurate grind mechanism which is the most important thing to me. It had very good reviews and was made in Germany (we all know that means quality right) so I decided to go for this. I have not been disappointed.This pepper mill is fantastic. It looks and feels of quality. It is beautifully made of wood and has a nice weight to it. The rotating mechanism on top is nice to use, quite different to anything I have used before. Now onto the most important aspect, the grind. The grind from this mill is a thing of consistent beauty. If like me you like machines, engineering or objects that just do what they are supposed to do very well, then this is for you. On the bottom there is a rotating marker, twisting this adjusts the grind from dust right up to a very coarse grind. There are 6 numbers marked on the bezel which help you to remember a number for a particular size of grind. For example you might like 6 for coarse pepper for steaks and large pieces of meat, you might like a finer grind of 2 for a salad dressing where you do not want large grains.At approx £30 this is not a cheap item. On this occasion it really is a case of ‘you get what you pay for’. It comes with a 25 year warranty which is in itself pretty incredible, this shows the manufacturer believes in the quality of what they are producing. If you are the type of person that cares about the size and consistency of your pepper grind, this is the mill for you. If you are in the market for a high quality antique style pepper mill, that looks and feels beautiful then this is the pepper mill for you.I just cannot fault this grinder, I really love it!

I've been searching for a replacement for a french cast iron pepper mill which, after much faithful service, had worn out. It is so difficult to find a mill which delivers pepper grains consistently and although this one was wooden, I ordered it and asked if it was likely to be as good as the one I had been using. I was reassured and though it was out of stock at the time, for which I received a personal letter of apology, the mill arrived before the predicted date. It is excellent, having a lifetime guaranteed,porcelain mechanism delivering 3 grades of grains. Well worth the search.

I like quirky and this is it. I'm not into pairs, so use this for salt as opposed to pepper, the reason being that my other grinder is an old battered Nick Munro from the 80's and being metal does not do salt well. This grinder is perfect for either salt or pepper though. I would have bought another one for pepper (but I don't like pairs, remember!) Recommended!

After trying to source a good, reliable, metal mechanism grinder, I came across the Zassenhaus antique Mill. It is fantastic. The action is adjustable for grind, it is quaranteed for 25 years. It is the best I have ever used. The mechanism is actually ceramic.

A high quality pepper mill, that is very well made as you would expect from Zassenhaus. Looks wonderful on the dining table and feels fantastic, and I'm sure will last for many years to come. Highly recommend both the mill and the supplier.

I've had mine since 2013 and its still going great you can adjust the mill to fine or course, I love mine wouldn't be without it, it's high quality and looks good in my kitchen well worth every penny .Made in Germany built to last.

Very sturdy, produces a consistant standard of grain which can be adjusted from powder to coarse grain by simply turning a dial on the bottom. Top quality construction, it looks like a mighty chess piece on the table. Most happy.

Nostalgic, sentimental value; releases nice cracked pepper, the distribution of which can be less easy to control than with less archaic mills. A pretty addition to the table.( ... Life isn’t meant to be easy ... )

Purchased 2 of these to replace seized up electric salt mill, they work perfectly with easy settings. These are my second set of Zassenhaus Mills, I would choose these above all others.

Best grinder I've come across. The German mechanism seems to live up to all expectations. My only concern being the wooden ball at the end of the handle. Will update but so far so good.

It was a present for a friends 30th birthday, and he loves it, and start using it immediately. It has a nice design, and works really well. I will maybe order another at some point
