ZassenhausFrankfurt Salt Grinder Mill, 7-Inch, Bamboo

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'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.

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.

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!

It seems like Zassenhaus thinks it is a good idea to pre fill their Salt and Pepper Mills with a few pepper corns and salt and then grind it down a bit. Which means when it arrives, there are really old spice residuals stuck inside the mill and ceramic grinder which is really disgusting. I tried to clean and wash those out, but the olive wood version is really receptive to water - the glue inside the wood immediately started to come out and leaving the exterior with wide gaps where wood was glued together. For the price I would expect more. Sending these back.

First let me say that the pepper mill looks and feels looks like a quality pepper mill. As far as function; it also function well, but no better than the quality pepper mills. But what I found disappointing was that according to the attached tag it was made in Albania; not in Germany. I suspect that the mechanism is made in Germany and the pepper mill was assembled in Albania.False Advertising??? A knock off???

So greatly disappointed in the functionality of this product for this price. Honestly, I went back to my$25.00 peppermill, because it was so much easier to use. The grinding mechanism requires to much effort,and does not produce enough pepper grounds for the number of turns you have to make. When you go to adifferent size ground, they do not come out in a uniform size. This item was very expensive, and certainly does not work with ease. Do not waste your money just because it was made in Germany.

Ich besitze bereits eine Zassenhaus Salzmühle und wollte mir hier eine passende Pfeffermühle bestellen. Zu meiner Überraschung ist der Qualitätsunterschied in Verarbeitung und Material doch erschreckend groß. Das Original besteht aus Olivenholz (voll), die hier ist nur "furniert". Der Einsatz mit dem Mahlwerk sieht mehr nach Plastik als nach Keramik aus. Auf dem Original ist das Zassenhaus-Logo eingebrannt, hier nur aufgedruckt.Fazit: entweder vertreibt Zassenhaus unterschiedliche Varianten desselben Produkts (was mich heutzutage auch nicht überraschen würde), oder hierbei handelt es sich um gefälschte Ware. In jedem Fall: das Geld nicht wert!

Fabulous grinder! 😀

Der Artikel ist leider nicht neuwertig!Es waren Salzreste in der Mühle. Da ein Ersatzartikel nur mit über einer Woche Verspätung zugesagt wurde, haben wir den gleichen Artikel nochmals bestellt. Zu unserem Entsetzen auch mit dem gleichen Problem: Salzreste in der Mühle und ziemlich versifft. Da die Zeit nach der 2. Bestellung knapp wurde, haben wir die Mühle sehr aufwendig reinigen müssen.Wenn gebrauchte Artikel verkauft werden, wäre ein entsprechender Hinweis angebracht - gerade bei Produkten im Lebensmittelbereich!

Hallo,eine äußerlich sehr schöne und schön verarbeitete Mühle. Mit der eigentlichen Funktionalität, nämlich Pfeffer zu mahlen, habe ich Probleme. Gelegentlich läuft das Mahlwerk leer. Man dreht und dreht, ohne dass Pfeffer herauskommt. Das ist insbesondere bei den sehr feinen Mahlgraden der Fall. Der feinste Grad (1-2) steht praktisch nicht zur Verfügung. Auch scheint mir die Mühle sehr empfindlich gegenüber Dampf zu sein. Es lässt sich aber nicht immer vermeiden dampfendes Essen zu pfeffern.Positiv zu erwähnen ist, dass der Mahlgrad sich beim Befüllen nicht ändert, weil er von unten direkt am Mahlwerk eingestellt wird (wie bei anderen Keramikmahlwerken auch). Bis auf einen kleinen Plastikrand oben und der Keramik unten, kommen die Pfefferkörner nur mit dem Holz in Berührung.Technisch erscheint mir die Mühle nicht besser, als eine preiswertere Mühle mit Keramikmahlwerk zu sein. In nicht ganz so starkem Ausmaß habe ich das „Verkleben“ aber auch schon bei anderen Mühlen (u. a. Peugot) beobachtet. Immerhin leistet sie grob was sie soll, wenn auch hinter den Erwartungen.

Wir haben uns die Pfeffermühle in Olivenholz von Zassenhaus bestellt.Sie wurde innerhalb von zwei Werktagen zugesendet und war sehr gut verpackt.Um das Mahlwerk zu testen sind ein paar Pfefferkörner in der Mühle! Also kein Zeichen von gebrauchter Ware!Unsere Pfeffermühle von Zassenhaus ist sehr gut verarbeitet und das Olivenholz sieht noch besser aus, als auf dem Foto.Ich wollte auch gern mal ein deutsches Qualitätsprodukt und nicht die ständige ``Hintenrum Chinaware''Das Mahlwerk ist aus Keramik und einstellbar.Wir betreiben die Mühle mit bunten Pfefferkörnern und sind sehr zufrieden mit der Handhabung und Optik!TOP empfehlenswert!
