For easy grinding, this neatly designed PepperBall is ideal and dispenses ground pepper with a simple squeeze. If you find yourself mid-stir and in need of some pepper, reach no further than this one-hand wonder.

3. Menu Salt, Pepper & Spice Bottle Grinder (set of 2)

With smooth contours typical of Scandinavian design, these spice bottles grind upwards and pour an even stream of ground salt and pepper when you tip them. Just like water bottles.

One of our all time favourite products, the G’Rabbit, with a cute-as-a-button detachable tail for re-filling and easy-squeeze ears for quick and even grinding (also available in white for salt).

Decidedly vintage, these colourful pepper mills are operated with a stainless steel crank for an old-school and tactile grinding experience.
