Moulin Salt Mill

PROFESSIONAL-GRADE SALT MILL

weberworkshops.com

Featuring a sleek, modern design, Moulin lets you control salt size and volume with a simple twist. It has 10 times more output than standard mills and 10 grinding levels, so you can adjust with precise granularity to the ideal size.

The external dial hits everything between a fine powder (around 0) and a coarser grain (around 9). It technically goes below 0 and above 9, plus in between each number, providing 50-plus grind options. 

Moulin is said to “last forever.” The grinding mechanism is made of engineered ceramics, because ceramic won’t corrode in the presence of salt. 

Moulin has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $320.  Shipping to crowdfunding Rewards backers is planned for October.
