The plastic mill combines a classic design with modern technology in the popular, vibrant Le Creuset colors. The grinding mechanism is made of hardened ceramic, which is corrosion-resistant and ensures consistent performance over the years. The body is made of ABS plastic. The hardened ceramic grinding mechanism is both corrosion-resistant and robust. A metal knob allows for adjusting the grinder to "P" or "S." The shaft makes it easier to fill the grains. The capacity per mill body is approximately 40 g of black peppercorns or 40 g of dry, coarse (sea) salt (1/4 cup).
