The Zassenhaus mechanism is made from high-grade ceramic, which is harder than steel and resistant to corrosion. This German-engineered design is specifically built to crack peppercorns efficiently rather than crushing them, ensuring a consistent grind size every time.

This mill is specifically designed and calibrated for peppercorns. Using it for other spices, especially those with high oil content or different hardness levels, may clog the mechanism or affect the performance of the ceramic grinder.

To maintain the finish, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging the mill in water or using harsh detergents, as moisture can damage the olive wood and potentially affect the internal mechanism.

Refilling is straightforward. You generally unscrew the top knob to remove the lid, pour your peppercorns into the reservoir, and replace the top. It is a simple, manual process that takes just a few seconds.
