The Trudeau Graviti Pepper Grinder is a stylish and elegant grinder that harnesses electrical power from six AAA batteries and gravitational forces to make it run. When flipped upside down, the grinder starts working.
Pepper, or any other dry spice, is contained in a clear acrylic tubular hopper that is housed in a plastic casing which could be finished in chrome, black, silver, or red. The upper portion of the acrylic hopper is left uncased so you can check the level of any remaining spice. The case, the hopper, and the grinder all add up to a height of approximately 20 cm.
The Graviti Pepper Grinder consists of a ceramic grinding mechanism that remains free from rust even if moistened with steam when used over a pot of boiling liquid. Also, it sharpens itself guaranteeing a long useful service. The grinders first cut the spices to extract the oil, then grinds them to your desired texture. This maximizes flavor. A knob at the top of the grinding mechanism allows adjustment of the fineness, or coarseness, of the grounds.
Gravity sensors inside the casing detect the position of the grinder. When a certain angle is reached as the grinder is turned upside down, they activate the grinders. As this can be done with only one hand, the other is freed to stir the pot or mix the spice with the food. When done pouring simply turn the grinder back up. The sensors will take care of the rest.
