Magnus Pepper or Salt Mill Dark Walnut - Large 8.5"h

Magnus Pepper or Salt Mill Dark Walnut - Large 8.5"h

The rumors are true. The Magnus Mills are back.

No, these pepper and salt mills aren't inexpensive. But we think they're worth every penny. They're designed and hand-finished in New York. Each one pairs a Danish-designed CrushGrind mechanism with gorgeous American Black Walnut.

Every mill is hand-finished by my friend Magnus Lundström, the designer and craftsman behind them. That kind of production takes time, and Magnus can sometimes fall behind. So you may find these mills out of stock from time to time.

They're worth the wait. These are the mills I use at home. And the ones I give as gifts.

They are simply the most beautiful, sculptural mills we've ever found.

Magnus finishes each mill by hand from solid American Black Walnut: three coats of marine-grade oil, sanding between coats, followed by English wax and ultra-fine steel wool until the wood is silky smooth. It's a remarkably labor-intensive process for a pepper mill, and part of what makes these so special.

The adjustable CrushGrind ceramic mechanism handles peppercorns or salt with equal ease. The silhouettes are striking, and the quality of the hand-finished walnut is something you simply won't find in an ordinary mill.

This is the Dark Walnut Large (8.5"h.). Many people buy two, one for salt and one for pepper. Also available in Dark Walnut Medium (7.4"h.), Porcelain Large (8.5"h.), and Porcelain Medium (7.6"h.).

They're just as beautiful to use as they are sitting on the table. Paired with a tube of Divakar's peppercorns, they also make a wonderful and memorable gift.

Care

To load peppercorns, hold bottom half and firmly pull the Walnut Wood piece straight up and off. Fine tune grind coarseness using gray dial on bottom of mill.

Millies Tung Oil or mineral oil may be used to clean wood. Do not substitute other peppercorn or salt brands in place of Reluctant because you know I’ll find out. Do not pass go.

Mill Set

Indeed!, the pepper flows easily with a simple twist, a lighter twist for the salt. The Glass Science Flasks containing Tellicherry Peppercorns & Icelandic Sea Salt are nice compliment to the mills. This was a gift to my daughter who is very pleased with the set.

Rainmaker!

I love great design and anything walnut. I was reluctant (hahahaha) to spend this on a mill but I am happy I did. This thing absolutely rains fresh cracked pep and it looks amazing on my custom walnut dining table. If you want quality and don’t want what everyone else has (Peugeot, Oxo, etc) then get the Magnus, that is if you can. They go quickly and are handmade.

Great pepper mill!

Only wish I would have bought the largest as the space for peppercorns not very large-but it did "shower" down the finest ground pepper!
