Pepper, salt and spice mills hand-turned in South African hardwoods and fitted with European CrushGrind® ceramic mechanisms.

Every mill is shaped, sanded and finished in our workshop — no two pieces of wood are the same.
Ceramic burrs tested to the equivalent of 400 years of domestic use, guaranteed for life.
Kiaat, wild olive, leadwood and more — chosen for grain, weight and how they age.

Our story
“Every day is Friday.”
Piet Smith started Pepper Mills For Africa in 2005 as a retirement hobby — and then it got out of hand. His spirit lives on in every mill we make.
