Description
xTimeless craftsmanship meets modern kitchen convenience
Alexander Home presents The Original European Mill in Brass, a 9-inch salt grinder rooted in heritage design. Inspired by traditional Greek coffee mills used by soldiers, this piece blends a solid all-metal body with a flanged base for added stability on busy counters. The warm brass finish catches the light and adds a touch of elegance to daily seasoning.
Sharp grinding, lasting flavor
Inside, a durable, corrosion-resistant food-grade mechanism delivers a fine, steady grind. The design emphasizes consistency, helping you release salt's subtle flavor notes as you season. Use only small-to-medium coarse salt for the best performance, and avoid wet or grey sea salts and large flakes to maintain optimal grinding behavior.
Built to be admired, built to last
Each mill is handmade in small batches by skilled artisans, yielding gentle variations in finish and tone. This means you receive a unique piece with character, not a factory-perfect replica.
Dimensions and practical details
Standing 9 inches tall with a 2.25-inch base, the mill maintains a compact footprint on the counter. With the handle attached, the full width is roughly 4 inches, making it easy to grip and maneuver during use.
Important assembly note
For safe, proper use, the crank handle is stored inside the mill during shipping. To assemble: unscrew the top nut, remove the cap to access the handle, attach the handle to the shaft, replace the cap, and tighten the nut securely.
