This is my old pepper mill. You can't tell very well in this photo but it is missing the screw on the top. My daughter lost it.
So I bought a new pepper mill at the thrift store. It is almost 18" tall and gorgeous. It doesn't work (but to be honest I half expected it wouldn't and intended to use it for something else).
So when CSN Stores contacted me and told me I could be a Preferred Blogger and asked me to do a product review I agreed. I thought a new pepper mill would be a great choice for me. So I ordered the William Bounds "HM" Twist Chrome Pepper Mill. They had a huge variety of pepper mills to choose from I chose the William Bounds for its compact size and price. I going to do two reviews for CSN.
First, I must say I was impressed with the speed of CSN's order fulfillment. I got a notice the very next day that my order had shipped.
I got my package a week later (via regular shipping over a holiday weekend). In it was my new pepper mill with pepper in it already!!.
I put it through its various processes. It comes with three grind qualities. Coarse, Medium, and Fine.
I did find it a little difficult to switch between grinds but was pleased to find that the coarse is good and coarse just like I like it.
It is hard to tell from the photo but the medium grind is not as coarse.
The fine grind is nice - fine without being sneeze powder.
When I opened it I found that I needed a pliers to loosen the knob on the top. I am assuming that it is a function of the mill being new and that it will loosen up.
I am thrilled to have the new pepper mill and glad that CSN Stores gave me the opportunity to review this product for you!!
It's a shame about your old/original pepper mill - it looks like a really lovely one!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a shiny new one now ;)
So what are you going to do with the unworking thrift-store one then?! and the old/original.. any plans for that one?
How cool is that! I can't keep up with all your posting lately, you've got a lot going on! I'm so bummed that you had stopped by my shop when you were in town. I should have warned you to call first (but I didn't want you to feel obligated to come by). Darn!! Well, I hope you were able to take in some local places. West MI is awesome. Enjoy your coarse pepper!

That's a nice pepper mill. I had no idea they even made them with different grind choices! Do you notice a different flavor of mixed colored peppercorns?
ReplyDeleteHow neat! My old one broke, too, but I've been using a disposable one. I'd like to be able to adjust the grind!
