{"product_id":"alexander-copper-pepper-mill-9-inch","title":"Alexander Copper Pepper Mill, 9\" (23 cm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Alexander 9\" copper pepper mill is a solid copper mill handmade in Thessaloniki, Greece. Inside is the same all-metal 38 mm 3DCut mechanism as Alexander's brass mill, and it cracks, cuts and grinds each peppercorn instead of crushing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper has a warmer, rosier colour than brass. The plain polished finish has no lacquer, so the copper slowly deepens to a darker brown with use. If you prefer the bright colour, a copper cleaner brings it back in a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy this mill\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing plastic inside. A tool steel grinder runs on a 10 mm metal shaft.\u003cbr\u003eA 38 mm grinder. That's close to twice the size of the 20 mm one in most mills, so it gets through peppercorns quickly.\u003cbr\u003eGrind from fine to coarse. Set it with the screw under the mechanism, at the bottom of the mill.\u003cbr\u003eMade by a family workshop. Alexander has been making mills in Thessaloniki since 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlexander Modern, code 40404\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\" (230 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid copper, plain polished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 mm (1.5\") 3DCut, tool steel, 10 mm shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrind adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew under the mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhole peppercorns and dry spices (not salt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThessaloniki, Greece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare: Don't wash it in water or put it in the dishwasher.
