Their long-standing presence all over the world, have placed them first in the preferences of professionals and home users over the last 20 years.

The robust design of the mills was originally based on a portable coffee mill created in the early 1900’s for Greek soldiers to use in the field. Your mill will need some regular care and maintenance to keep it in good working order. It's important to clean the mill regularly, keep its contents fresh and avoid exposure to moisture. Never wash the mill in water or in the dishwasher! Below are some more detailed guidelines for use and maintenance.

Assembly

All pepper and coffee mills have an adjustable mechanism between fine and coarse grinding.

Coffee mills are ideal for grinding filter coffee (French coffee, espresso, cappuccino etc.).

Salt mills grinding mechanisms are 38mm in diameter, are made of stainless steel and very tough polyamide (30% glass). Each mill provides plenty of room, to fill it with pepper, salt or coffee. Many types of Atlas mills, such as Chef’s Mills, are assembled ready for use. Other mill types may be sold with the handle inside the body of the mill.

To assemble the mill, unscrew the bolt at the top of the mill and remove the top, take out the handle, replace the lid, place the handle on top of this, and screw the nut down tight. Prior to first use, it is recommended to clean the mechanism by grinding a small amount of ingredients through the mill and discarding.

Adjust

Adjusting the Grind Mills 42006-106-606-706 are adjusted by turning the knob at top. Tighten the knob clockwise for a finer grind. All other pepper mills and coffee mills may be adjusted by adjusting a screw to the underside of the grinding mechanism at the bottom of the mill.
