The Crushgrind© Vaasa is just like the Billund sustainable spice mill, not specifically designed for grinding pepper. The mill with its glass container is made of biocomposite material, and has a ceramic grinding element.

The last one! Discontinued for unknown reasons. White pots are still available, while supplies last.

The design is by Sam(uel) Murley of the Danish concept developer Ideas. The Billund is the latest addition to the Danish brand's range, available from us in two color schemes: this off-white version, pale cream colored, and a green version

The handy, thirteen-centimeter-tall Vaasa, like the Billund in our range, is an inverted mill. The mill is positioned with the grinding mechanism facing upward, preventing spillage on your countertop or tablecloth. It's designed for both commercial and domestic use. A versatile mill, it can be used not only for pepper but also for a wide variety of spices and dried herbs, allowing you to make your own fresh spice blends.

To fill the grinder, unscrew the top of the grinder from the glass. The fineness of the grind set yourself up by going through the Turn the top disk, clockwise for a finer setting, counterclockwise for a coarser setting.

To grind, hold the grinder upside down, hold the grinding housing, and turn the glass a quarter turn to the left or right, then make a back-and-forth motion. You'll notice that the grinder reacts very directly.

Cleaning

When you want to change spices, do so by emptying the container and turning the grinder off, grind If necessary, use some coarse (sea) salt to thoroughly clean the ceramic part. When you loosen the wheel that determines the grind, the grinding mechanism will be released, if you want to clean with water.
