"Vic Firth 'Pump & Grind' Salt Mill much to be desired"
Vic Firth STS06SM01 "Pump & Grind" Salt Mill, Stainless Steel In reading the description of this salt mill, I selected it because it promised to be simple to operate and would also allow me to vary the coarseness of the grind. In fact, the mill is difficult to operate for anything but the smaller crystals, and there were no instructions included as to how to vary the coarseness, and nothing intuitive about the mill to allow one to figure it out without instructions. It certainly looks nice, and takes up little space, but that's about the only positive things I can say about it.

"salt mill"
Unlike the matching pepper mill which came directly from Amazon in original packaging with instructions and boxed, this arrived wrapped in bubble wrap and in a plain yellow envelope...with no instructions. I must use both hands to work it. Sure hope I didn't get a previously returned one.

"I love this salt mill"
I first bought a travel size pepper mill and loved being able to grab with one hand and use it while cooking. I finally ordered the salt one and glad that I did. I don't care that it doesn't hold alot of salt. It's not like I have to add more salt to it often...more like every 2 or 3 months. I live in California so I guess I don't have issues with the humidity that others have commented on. I lost mine (I have no idea how) and ordering a second one so that says alot. Of course I will find the lost one the day the new one comes in the mail...



"What a cool little gadget"
I now have both the pepper and salt mill. They're great for the table because they only require one hand. I also like the heft and feel of them. They're very solid and well made. I have a pair of very nice Peugeot salt and pepper mills that I prefer for the kitchen because they dispense larger amounts of their respective seasonings. But for the table these are really nice.

"I didn't know it was travel sized"
I'm very disappointed with this salt mill. First of all, it is tiny. On the box it says that it is "travel sized", but nowhere in the Amazon reviews did it mention the diminutive size. The container holds very little salt and I find the mechanism difficult to adjust to get a decent amount of salt to come out of the thing. I have to pump, pump, and pump to taste any salt. On the plus side, it does look good.

What our customer's say!

"Best Salt Grinder Ever", I've being using this product for more than a year.
It is easy to use. It's good for humid places and specially boats.

PROS
1) Maintain the salt free of humidity
2) The salt is grinded into a cloud of tiny grains. The grains are grinded into smallest size than commercial grinded salt. Looks like salt powder.
3) The acrylic tube let's you know when to refill.
4) The size is perfect for daily use at home.
5) In contrast with battery operated grinder, it's always ready to use, the salt is grinder into powder not large grains, and it's free of moist.
6) The small grains of salt (powder released) is more pleasantly and rapidly dissolve in the mouth compared to others salt grinders and standard salt.
7) The salt is released with consistence (quantity and grain size) with every push.
8) It's easy to use for adults with just one hand. Good for occasional used at the kitchen or daily use at the table.

CONS
1) The grinder might be difficult to push by toddlers (which is good in a way since it helps to make them use less salt).
2) After several times of falling to the floor (more than ten times in my case), might broke at the acrylic part.
3) The amount of salt storage might be consumed fast by a chef or if you used more than 100 grams daily (3.5 Ounces).
4) The grinder might stop working if you wet the base by accident. If so, replace the humid salt and it will keep working like new.

PS: I bought booth the salt and pepper grinder. Both are the same in size and parts. In fact I ended up using the pepper grinder for salt too and it works perfect.

"Strong and good looking", Impressively constructed, very good looking and sits well in your hand. We have two as salt and pepper on our kitchen table. They fit the contemporary look.

"Wonderful salt mill", Yes, it is small, only six inches high, and works like a charm. I have gone thru several one handed mills from different companies. I also live in an area of high humidity. The other brands have cracked and/or rusted, and the salt flow eventually diminish to almost nothing. The Vic Firth (after 3 weeks) is still easy to use and delivers an adequate amount of salt. I'm really impressed.

"I like it!", I have this and the pepper grinder and like both. Actually the salt one puts out much more salt per push, but either way they work well, look nice and have a good weight / feel to them. They are small enough to slip into your pocket or take with you. Neat little invention!

"Grinds Too Well... Lots of Salt - Have to start sideways", 1. I have the pepper version so decided to get the salt version.
2. Although adjustable for salt size (no instructions) you just change how screwed on the base is. So you have to figure out this part.
3. One pump puts out a lot of salt...I mean a lot...so often grind into my hand and then use that to measure out my salt
4. Doesn't grind from a straight up and down position. You have to pretty much hold it at a 45 degree angle to start the first grind (salt too hard for start-up) and then you can angle it downwards more from then on...but remember...lots of salt comes out, so maybe don't need to grind much more.
5. Mine came with 'WEBER GRILL' and a logo printed on the side of it. This obviously was from a promotion that they had too many of and decided to throw it into the mix. Wasn't worth sending it back, gonna use rubbing alcohol and steel wool to see if I can get that off.

"fabulous and simple shakers", I tried these Vic Firth shakers in a restuarant and fell in love with them. They are so easy to use and the best part is you only need one hand!

"Looks better than it is", Good looking and works well, in dry weather. Very little salt comes out when it's humid. The capacity of this mill is small.

"Pump and Grind Salt Mill", Wonderful salter; absolutely love it - easy to hold in hand, easy to use and the amount that comes out with each pump is perfect. And it looks great, too. We have the pepper mill also and just love it, also!

"Disappointed", I was disappointed by the packaging of the product. I ordered a new "Pump & Grind" Salt Mill and it looked used to me. Also, took a long time to be delivered.
