IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ASSEMBLY: The crank handle is stored inside the mill during shipping. To assemble, unscrew the top nut and remove the cap to access the handle. Then, reattach the cap, fit the handle onto the shaft, and tighten the nut securely. EUROPEAN CRAFTSMANSHIP & HERITAGE DESIGN: Inspired by traditional Greek coffee mills once used by soldiers, this mill features a flanged base for added stability and a solid all-metal body. A timeless, functional piece available in elegant brass and copper finishes. INCLUDES POLISHING CLOTH: Your mill will develop a natural patina over time. To refresh the shine, polish occasionally with the enclosed treated cloth; use a gentle metal polish as needed (not included). UNLOCK FRESH FLAVOR & AROMA: The precision steel grinding mechanism cracks each peppercorn to release bold flavor and fragrance. Easily adjust the grind size—from coarse to fine—to suit your taste and recipes. EACH MILL IS HANDMADE & UNIQUE: Each mill is crafted in small batches by skilled artisans, resulting in subtle variations in finish and tone-- making every piece unique. DIMENSIONS: This mill is 8 inches tall, and the maximum width of the base is 2.25 inches. With the handle, the full width is 4 inches. The Original Greek Mill is a unique piece of European tradition that is functionally the best in the world and handmade to exacting standards. While other mills simply crush the peppercorns, this unique grinding mechanism grabs each peppercorn and breaks it in half, then cuts each pieces into even smaller pieces, maximizing flavor and aroma. Based on a coffee mill that was used by Greek soldiers in the early 20th century, the design includes a flanged base for stability and a durable all-metal body. The tool steel grinding mechanism adjusts from fine to coarse. Available in copper and brass. Manufactured by a small, family-run company in northern Greece.
