Does this mill come pre-filled with pepper corns?

I can't remember but I think it did. I remember it having an expiration date on the peppercorns. You can buy whole peppercorns and coarse ground sea salt at any grocery store.

Yes, but that isn't a particularly good thing. Mine were a little stale. I'd suggest buying a fresh batch, which doesn't really cost much. More expensive is the rechargeable batteries. 6AAA's cost almost as much as the grinder. I've really enjoyed mine so far anyway. Fresh ground is SO much better.

I have had both of mine for quite awhile and can't remember, but it seems like there were some solid black peppercorns which I threw out. I like to use the colored peppercorns and also the pink himalayan salt. They just give it that added touch. Love both of them!

No, it doesn't come pre-filled. It's a pic inserted in the mill that has to be removed before filling.

Yes, the rollers are stainless steel, but if you are looking to grind corn this is not the mill to buy. It does not like hard corn.

Well, a third of the corn will be meal, a third will be cracked, and a third will be whole kernels, plus there will be metal powder and fragments mixed in with it. I threw mine in the recycling bin, after trying a few modifications to fix the problems. I eventually bought a Monster Mill, but I had to make new eccentric adjustment knobs to get the gap wide enough for corn.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I love these mills, and they're very sturdily built. I would definitely buy them again.

No, I don't think it is normal. I've had mine for quite a while and it still gives pretty consistent grinds. In fact, I think it's the best pepper mill I've ever owned -- and I've owned a lot of them.

Peppermill holds more than 50 grams which is just about 2 ounces. In peppercorns, that's quite a few! I am quoting the capacity right from the box the mill came in.

As you can see by the other responses it does adjust. As someone else pointed out it does not always hold the setting, this may be the way one holds the mill when grinding. The size of the flakes may also depend on the type of pepper used or what one is used to. For me it gets the larger flakes just the way I like them.

I have a Wonder Mill and it grinds this corn just fine. Here's what Wikipedia says:"Most of the corn grown in the United States today is Yellow Dent or a closely related variety derived from it.[2] Dent corn is the variety used in food manufacturing as the base ingredient for cornmeal flour (used in the baking of cornbread), corn chips, tortillas and taco shells."

Hello MAW, I am sorry I am just now seeing your inquiry. The beauty of the line of Original Pump & Grind sets is that it comes with our exclusive stand. We designed our mills to include a mess free stand, no one likes a trail of salt and pepper left behind by most salt and pepper grinder sets. I hope this helps! Please know our mills come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles, look up Grind Gourmet and our mills will pop up.

the section where you can see the pepper/salt is made of some kind of plastic or acrylic. The stainess steel you see above that is just a sleeve as the pastic goes all the way up to contain the salt/pepper. I've found the sleeve to be poorly glued. This is fine a salt mill... but the output w pepper is so low that you can't use it in the kitchen, only on the table for a light dusting of pepper

Yes! And it's really nice the flour that comes out, pretty similar to the Bob's red mill one. You can prepare a beautiful corn bread!

It's a pepper mill, so yes. Actually, it's a darn good pepper mill... You should fill it with pepper and enjoy.

No. The mill will do a great job of grinding dry goods. If you use anything that is not completely dry you will end up with a royal mess. Wet corn will cake to the grinding plates and will clog up the mechanism.

yes! I don't think it comes filled with pepper. The bottom twists off so you can fill it.

Yes, they do come with seeds. i just received my package earlier this morning and to my surprise there were a lot of seeds and 10 peppers.

The mill has peppercorns in it when it arrives and then you have to add your own after that first batch is ground.

No it didn't come with anything. We get peppercorns from costco and Himalayan salt from amazon.
