Cole & Mason 7.48" 2pc Beechwood/Ceramic/Steel Oldbury Gift Set Brown/Silver: Pepper Grinder, Spice Mills

Top tabs on the pepper mill are broken, so top comes off when you handle it, spilling peppercorns everywhere. The “wood” veneer on the sides has chipped away, so they look shabby. Even on the finest setting, the pepper grinds large chunks, not fine enough for seasoning properly. Every time I use these I feel a little angry and sad about the amount I spent on them, which was a lot for me at the time. Thought they would last years.

The Trader Joe's disposable grinders last longer. I only refilled it twice before the tabs on the lid broke. I have been able to refill the disposables more times than that. I gave it 2 stars as I do like the look.

Giving as a gift. Looks like hi quality product. Nice packaging.

Very well presented in a black box. the mills were larger than I expected and of a high quality. They are to be given as a Christmas Box so very pleased with both the mills and presentation.

I live to cook and prepare family meals daily. I received the Oldbury Mill set as a Christmas gift - they are beautiful- and have put them work everyday. Within 6 months, the plastic tabs that hold the grinder head on top have broken for both the salt and pepper mill. They mills are still usable but the top of the grinder will fall off if picking up from the metal top or if it falls over. This is the same top you remove to refill and likely the delicate plastic tabs broke from repeat refills. Also, refilling is a poor design. The grinder shaft that the head connects into extends above the rim of the mill reservoir. This makes it very difficult to pour peppercorns or natural salt crystals into the mill because the shaft blocks the top of the hole. Using a small funnel is impeded by the shaft as it blocks the center of a small funnel preventing peppercorns from entering. Elegant style, good adjustable grinder, poor design - expect more from most expensive mills in the wood collection.

Sleek and beautiful. Look great on the table . Would make a great gift as well and as a nice touch they arrive with salt and pepper inside.

the Cole & Mason salt and pepper grinders are an excellent choice for quality and appearance, they suit our decor so well, and are easy to refill. so much better then the standard supermarket ones.

Had a set with glass and wood but these are really pretty. I'm leaving them out on the counter as too pretty to hide. I really like the capability of changing the coarse of the pepper and salt without having to guess. I had an issue with my battery pepper grinder as the metal turning mechanism inside stopped turning. The company was helpful in getting me a new working set. Thx

Very easy to grind salt and pepper. Best mills I ever owned.

This will likely end up being the last set of salt and pepper shakers I ever buy.

The Cole & Mason salt and pepper mills are the best. These mills are like a work of art but are functional. The craftsmanship is top notch and I would recommend these mills to anyone who enjoys having the best.

I love this set. Received as a wedding gift. I love that you can adjust to the size of grind you want. Easy to fill. Best of all, they are so elegant and beautiful!!!

simple, elegant design which functions exceptionally well. We love the wood.

My family was wanting an electric mill. Everything I had bought in the past was hard to use and just didn't perform for my large family. They were sure the electric one would be the answer. I just did not want another thing to replace batteries or have to charge to use. So I spent a little more money and bought this set. And to say the least no one is disappointed. Easy to use, provides various grinds for the preference of the recipe or person's taste. Now I will say the filling of it perplexed me. But after a few fills it isn't a battle to remember how to do it but really that is the least of my worries. we love it.....

I have bought 2 sets, one as a gift. Both my sister and I love these. Really nice wood finish and the grinding gears always work. The don't get stuck and are easy to change the grind.

i use them pretty much every day. old ones kept breaking. has a lifetime warranty so i thought i would try them. really like them so far. seem to get more salt per turn than others. i like that. seemed to twist forever with old ones

beautiful set and nice addition to my kitchen. Great quality as well.

This set is fantastic. Easy to load the salt and pepper and I really love the adjustability of the grind. Much more efficient that mills with the ball on top to adjust grind. Very good looking product as well.

My Review for Cole & Mason Gourmet Precision Oldbury Salt and pepper grinders is on the avenge scale. They look beautiful in my kitchen and grinds the spices perfect, however they leave salt and pepper droppings when not in use. I have to clean up the leftover pieces often. I'm wondering how much I waste when the grinder in not in use.

We recently got this salt and pepper set, and we really like it. It is a beautiful set, and would be great for a gift. It has a modern, clean look, and expensive look, with a reasonable price tag. The grinder works smoothly and is easy to figure out. Highly recommend!
