For some people classic kitchen designs feel homier than those fitted with lots of plastic, glass, and stainless steel. Since a traditional kitchen often uses tables, chairs, buffets, cabinets, and hutches made of sustainable hardwoods, they can be thought of environmentally friendly.
Looking for appliances and tools that match these kitchens can be difficult at times as most now come in plastic or stainless steel. There is, however, an excellent pepper and spice grinder that perfectly suits a classic kitchen –the Traditional Greek Pepper and Spice Mill.
This classic beauty comes in a copper, brass, stainless steel, or wood cylinder. It is about 2.8 inches in diameter with heights varying from 7 to 11 inches. A handle is attached to the domed top. This activates a grinding mechanism that actually grinds, rather than smash, the spices. This grinding is better at retaining the flavor and aroma of the spices. At the base is a cup that catches the grounds.
The design literally comes from several hundred years ago. This grinder is a copy of the original brass coffee mill used by the Greek army while in the fields fighting off the Ottomans and the Axis Powers. As it was designed to work in battlefield conditions, you can expect durability and strength from it.
This hand-made quaint pepper and spice mill is a perfect complement to your traditional kitchen. It does not only blend well with the furniture. It also grinds flavorful and aromatic spices.
