Robert Welch Palm Bright Salt Mill - Medium
The Palm Bright Medium Salt Mill combines Robert Welch's signature fluted design with premium grinding technology. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, this mill brings the distinctive aesthetic of the Palm cutlery collection to your table or kitchen worktop.
At the heart of this mill is a CrushGrind ceramic mechanism - a Danish-engineered grinding system that adjusts from fine to coarse with a turn of the grey wheel at the top. The ceramic construction resists corrosion from salt exposure and maintains its sharpness over time, unlike metal mechanisms which can corrode and dull with use. The top-fill design means you can add coarse sea salt without dismantling the base mechanism, and the approximately 100g capacity reduces how often you need to refill.
Key features include:
- Fluted Palm design: Mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel with distinctive fluting that matches the Palm cutlery range
- CrushGrind ceramic mechanism: Adjustable from fine to coarse, designed to maintain performance over years of use
- Top-fill convenience: Refill without unscrewing the base mechanism
- Colour-coded identification: White collar and base distinguish this as the salt mill (pepper mill has black)
- Lifetime guarantee: Robert Welch's commitment to both materials and mechanism quality
- Gift presentation: Arrives in a gift box, suitable for wedding registries or housewarming presents
The tactile fluted surface provides grip when grinding, whilst the 168mm height offers leverage for efficient operation. Designed for those who value both functionality and visual coherence in their kitchen and dining equipment.
What Customers Ask About the Robert Welch Palm Bright Salt Mill
The salt mill has a white collar and base, whilst the pepper mill has a black collar and base. This colour coding helps you distinguish between them at the table. Both use the same CrushGrind ceramic mechanism and have identical dimensions.
It holds approximately 100g of coarse sea salt. The top-fill design makes refilling straightforward without needing to unscrew the base mechanism.
No, this mill is designed for coarse sea salt or rock salt. Fine table salt will not grind properly and may clog the mechanism. Always use coarse salt crystals that require grinding.
Yes, the CrushGrind ceramic mechanism is easily adjustable from fine to coarse. Turn the grey adjusting wheel at the top to change the grind setting whilst using the mill.
Ceramic mechanisms don't corrode or rust when exposed to salt or moisture, making them more durable for long-term use. They also maintain their sharpness without dulling over time, unlike metal mechanisms which can wear down.
No, the mill should not be submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher as this would damage the internal grinding mechanism. Clean the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth, or dampen slightly for stubborn marks and dry immediately.
Robert Welch provides a lifetime guarantee on the Palm mills, covering manufacturing defects and mechanism failures. This reflects the quality of both the stainless steel construction and the CrushGrind ceramic mechanism.

Care & Use Instructions
Daily cleaning: Clean the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth after use. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth slightly and dry the mill immediately. Never submerge the mill in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this will damage the internal grinding mechanism.
Refilling: The top-fill design allows you to add coarse sea salt or rock salt without dismantling the base. Simply unscrew the top, add approximately 100g of coarse salt, and replace the cap. Do not use fine table salt as it will not grind properly.
Adjusting grind size: Turn the grey adjusting wheel at the top of the mill. Tightening the wheel creates a finer grind, whilst loosening produces a coarser grind. Adjust according to your cooking or serving needs.
Cleaning between different salts: If you wish to switch from one type of salt to another, empty the existing contents, add a tablespoon of coarse salt, adjust the grinder to fine, and grind until no more salt emerges. Remove any excess salt before adding new salt.
Deep cleaning the mechanism: For thorough cleaning, unscrew the grey adjusting wheel and carefully remove the ceramic cone, ensuring the spring stays securely in place. Wipe loose dust from the cone with a cloth or brush, then wash in water. Dry thoroughly before replacing - any moisture can affect grinding performance.
Maintenance: The CrushGrind ceramic mechanism requires no lubrication and should maintain its performance over years of use. The lifetime guarantee covers mechanism failures, but proper care ensures optimal function. The ceramic construction specifically resists corrosion from salt exposure.
