Federal Pepper Mill

Regular price $47.00

One of the most requested items in our shops is a pepper mill. We looked long and hard for one that would fit our requirements for a solid and honestly made product and found the perfect combination of form and function in this one from Fletchers' Mill. 

Hand crafted in Maine using premium hardwoods, it's fitted with a two-step mechanism which first cracks the peppercorns to release their natural oils and flavors and then grinds them to your chosen consistency.  

Materials

New England cherry or walnut, stainless steel, plastic inner fittings

Wood is a natural material and as such, variations in grain or color may occur. Your mill may appear slightly different than those shown here.

Care

For a quick clean, wipe with a damp cloth and dry completely. Water or moisture can damage the wood finish and affect the performance of the mill.

  1. Unscrew the top nut, remove the top, and empty any remaining salt or pepper.
  2. Turn the mill upside down and pop out the rod by tapping it firmly against a hard surface.
  3. Clean the mill with a dry brush or cloth.
  4. Push the rod back in from the bottom, making sure it goes through the grinder ring until it pops into place.
  5. Fill your mill with salt or pepper. Put the top back on, and make sure that the metal key clicks in on the rod.
  6. Screw on top nut while pushing up on the rod so it is flush with the bottom of the grinding mechanism.
  7. The tighter the nut, the finer the grind!
