Does it take a special size peppercorn? The grind mechanism works but the size of the peppercorn does not fit.

You should be able to place the peppercorn under the battery mechanism. Did you take the place piece off of the bottom? That needs to be taken off when you want to use it or nothing will come out...Let me know please

I didn't use any special sized peppercorns. I think you can actually adjust the grinder, but I haven't found that necessary. I use it just about every day and I love it.

All peppercorn should work, Finding not enough power to do a cracked product. Only get small fine grind. Do not recommend. PAT

I didn't purchase mine through Amazon so I can't respond to that part. But I do have one and love mine. It's true it's a tad small and difficult to fill, but otherwise I do love everything about it!As for filling, I do use a small funnel and it helps a lot for getting the peppercorns in there with minimal mess.

No, it does not. The opening at the top is only large enough for peppercorns. Coffee beans would be too large.

I've used mine for many months without any problems yet and it works great! I use peppercorns purchased from Costco--it comes in the rectangular clear plastic bottle. I don't know if this is a common or uncommon size for peppercorns. I don't remember anything in the instructions showing how to take it apart for cleaning so I don't think it is meant to be user serviceable. I suggest contacting the seller so they can help you determine whether or not it is a bad unit. Good luck.

Shirley, I haven tried that, but I think the cumin and cardamon would be fine. I wouldn't try anything bigger than peppercorns...or anything harder either. I hope this helps you. It is a sturdy little grinder!

Yes, if you flip the grinder over, there's a brass screw that allows you to adjust the grind. We have our set for a pretty fine grind for black pepper, but it could go even finer.

It will ONLY fit a Weston Commercial size grinder and we had to return it. Had to buy a hand crank and put a motor on it.

Greetings. Separate the body from the bottom and add peppercorns. Works great. You also can adjust the grind.

I don't know. We have had no problem but we haven't used lots of different peppercorns. I'm sorry you are having a problem. Why don't you ask the manufacteror.

I don't know the answer to your question. I do recommend the the Oxo Good Grips Pepper Grinder. After a year, it's the best grinder I've bought. Trudeau is a common brand that I purchased in the past but they always broke after a year or two.

I bought this and had to return it because it only fits commercial size grinders. It is very misleading.

The fill-ring does not lock/click into place. Since I tend to be rather aggressive in my grinding movements, I have placed a strip of blue "painters" tape on the fill-ring area so it definitely does not open during my "wild" grinding. This works - and I really like its' grinding mechanism which I use exclusively for white pepper.

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

I use mine for two different types of peppercorn - one side black and the other side pink and have had no problem with the two mixing but salt may be a different story. Perhaps the other reviewers are not grinding in one direction? If you try and go back and forth the items will mix but if you grind strictly clockwise or counter-clockwise you should be fine.

Yes, it does - all sorts of grinds. I have to say, I have an unnaturally deep and abiding love for this pepper grinder - it just keeps working, year after year, and is a beautiful piece of equipment. It's high on my list as a housewarming present. Never thought I could get carried away by a pepper grinder, but there you have it.

Just regular black peppercorns is what I use. Try loosing the brass nut at the top. If it feels tight, then it won't grind. It should be a little loose.

mine moves around too but it doesn't affectt he operation of the mill as long as the peppercorns stay in the mill. so you probably have it right as lond as the peppercorns don't fall out. Enjoy the mill. I love mine, it works great and rally does bring out more flavor from the pepper. Good Luck. jim
