Description
xMeet Alexander Home's The Original Greek Salt Mill, a distinctive manual grinder that blends heritage design with everyday practicality. Inspired by historic Greek coffee mills once used by soldiers, this mill features a robust all-metal body and a refined brass finish, plus a stable flanged base for confident seasoning at counter or table. Each piece is handmade in small batches, which means subtle variations in finish and tone, making yours feel uniquely tactile and ready for everyday use.
Powered by a durable, corrosion‑resistant mechanism, it delivers a fine, steady grind for small-to-medium coarse salt. For best results, keep salts dry and opt for grains that suit the mechanism; avoid wet sea salts and very large flakes to maintain consistency and reduce resistance during grinding. The crank handle is stored inside the mill during shipping, and assembly is straightforward once you see the cap and top nut come together.
