Pros & Cons
Pros
The price is not insignificant at a shade under 60 quid. The brushed steel nicely offset against the glass with the subtle but easy to see adjustment markings and branding at the bottom. My last cole and mason set were cheap and lasted over 10 years.
The steel seems to grind the peppercorn very well. Appreciate the control over size of grinding pepper.
Cole & mason mills are excellent. The name speaks quality. Well made a deliver lots of salt and pepper. Very pleased with this purchase.

Competitiveness
They come in a hinged presentation box and will be great as described as a giftset
It is an easy way to achieve a consistent precise grind size and does add to the overall appearance of the mills by avoiding t... Read More
Fed up using cheap products that stop working these are expensive so still early days to know if they justify the high price

I appreciate that these are a gift set but why this means there need to be 2 sturdy cardboxes with an inner plastic liner with translucent acrylic labels showing pictures of pepper and salt in different sizes is beyond me

These are quite obviously not a £5 asdatesco value product and everything from the packaging to the feel of the mills in my hands makes this abundantly clear

Thats really what youre paying for as they obviously only perform the same function as a much cheaper set
