How hard is it to refill the pepper grinder?

I don't find it difficult at all but then, I have been doing it for years. You can't add very much at any one time so it does take a while to fill it, but then all peppers mills are pretty much the same.

Easy,either use a funel or wrap your hand around it and just pore them in. And it works great so far, and i use it daily.

It produces fairly finely ground pepper, like any other typical pepper mill. There is no way that I'm aware of to adjust the grind. For your purpose, you may want to purchase an inexpensive coffee grinder and use it exclusively for grinding spices and herbs.

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.

Make sure you did not over fill the peppercorns. You can only fill it to the bottom of the tab where the top connects inside the reservoir. Otherwise if you line up the groves it should slide down and lock counter clockwise.

You may have filled it too much. Try pouring out some of the pepper and try again. Make sure the two pieces interlock.

Very easy to refill. the top including the silver band just unscrews from the glass part below. Also you can change your grind. There is a small dial at the bottom of the black part inside and you just dial your size. Some people have noted that they couldn't change their grind and they probably just never noticed the dial. Two years ago I bought six of them, one for each of our kids and myself. They all use them every day. I use Pensey's Rock Salt in it.

No, not that I've noticed, it's really small, you just screw the bottom pour in the pepper and screw it back on....but I could be wrong

You'll never get it ground as fine as you want it ground in this grinder. You need a pepper mill for that.

If you are talking about taking the top off in order to load pepper, the whole steel piece twists off - but you do have to twist hard. I had trouble with that the first time I tried to get it apart.

Not a lot--maybe 1/2 oz (1 oz, max) or about 1/3 cup. Here's a secret to all electric pepper grinders: use small peppercorns. Big peppercorns will clog most of them, this one included. I love this item; I have one for salt and one for pepper.

Turn it one way to grind pepper and the other to grind salt. You have to remember to remove the bottom or you just get salt and pepper in it. It makes loading S&P; easier, but is a pain when using the mill.

This is only a pepper grinder. It is simple to refill either the peppercorns or granulated salt in the shaker. We absolutely love ours and use it daily on our kitchen table!

Grab the top of the grinder with your thumb on one side and your index finger and middle finger on the other, touching only the metal top. Hold the body with your other hand. Pull straight up and it will slide off easily. Fill from the top.

Yes you can. I had not tried it until you asked. But my husband likes his pepper a bit chunky, so I looked on line and they suggest unscrewing the top and pulling the 'lid' up a bit to open the space in the grinding mechanism. This allows bigger chunks to fall through. It worked! Thanks for asking as I now know how to do it.

The pepper I buy has a shaker opening on one side of the cap and a pouring opening on the other. If yours doesn't, use the smallest of the standard set of kitchen funnels to "widen" the opening you're pouring into. In dire circumstances when you have no small funnels, make an open ended cone out of foil to act as a funnel.

Very easy. Unscrew the cover on the bottom. Pour in the peppercorns. Screw in the cover. It's a large opening. Holds a lot of pepper, so you shouldn't have to do this too often.

Until I read this question, I did not know that grinders could be adjustable. Now I have tried moving that dial, and seems bigger pieces always slip through. No instructions came with it. My experience with pepper grinders is eventually the pepper grinds too big, and then I replace it. Sorry I can't be of help.
