Cole & Mason Lincoln Duo Mill: Two Seasonings, One Smart Design
The Lincoln 190mm Duo Mill from Cole & Mason delivers an elegant solution to a common kitchen problem - the clutter of multiple mills on your table or worktop. This innovative 2-in-1 design houses both salt and pepper in completely separate chambers within one sleek unit, giving you instant access to both seasonings whilst taking up half the space of traditional mill pairs.
This thoughtfully engineered mill combines convenience with quality grinding:
- Two completely separate chambers within one mill body - one for salt, one for pepper
- Dual ceramic grinding mechanisms - ideal for both salt and pepper with zero flavour transfer
- Corrosion-proof ceramic stays sharp for decades and handles salt without rusting
- Adjustable grind settings allow control from fine to coarse for both seasonings
- Space-saving design reduces table clutter whilst maintaining full functionality
- Easy switching between seasonings with no cross-contamination
- Comes filled with salt and pepper, ready to use immediately
- White and grey finish suits contemporary kitchens and modern décor
The Lincoln's ceramic mechanisms represent the ideal choice for dual-purpose grinding. Unlike carbon steel which corrodes with salt, ceramic remains completely non-reactive and corrosion-proof whilst maintaining the sharpness needed for effective pepper grinding. This versatile material provides zero flavour transfer between the separate chambers, ensuring your salt tastes like salt and your pepper like pepper.
The practical benefits extend beyond space-saving. At the dining table, you only need to pass one item around. In smaller kitchens, caravans, or student accommodation, every centimetre of space matters. The 2-in-1 design delivers both seasonings with one hand reach, streamlining meal preparation and service.
Each chamber can be filled independently, and the adjustable grind settings work for both sides, giving you precise control over seasoning texture regardless of which chamber you're using. At 19cm tall, the mill provides comfortable grip and sufficient capacity for regular use without constant refilling.
Suitable for those with limited kitchen space, anyone who values clever design solutions, caravan and boat owners where space is premium, students setting up first kitchens, and as practical gifts for those who appreciate functional innovation.
What Customers Ask About Cole & Mason Lincoln Duo Mill
How does the 2-in-1 design work?
The Lincoln Duo Mill features two completely separate chambers within one mill body - one for salt and one for pepper. Each chamber has its own grinding mechanism, allowing you to switch between seasonings without cross-contamination or flavour transfer. This space-saving design means you only need one mill on your table or worktop instead of two.
What type of mechanism does it use for both salt and pepper?
The Lincoln uses ceramic grinding mechanisms. Ceramic is ideal for dual-purpose mills as it's completely corrosion-proof for salt grinding whilst remaining sharp and effective for pepper.
Can I adjust the grind size for both salt and pepper?
Yes, the mill features adjustable grind settings that allow you to control texture from fine to coarse. The settings can be adjusted for both chambers, giving you precise control over your seasoning regardless of which side you're using.
Does it come filled or do I need to fill it myself?
The Lincoln Duo Mill comes filled with salt and pepper, ready to use immediately upon receipt. When you need to refill, the design makes it easy to access each chamber separately.
How do I know which side is salt and which is pepper?
The mill is clearly marked to indicate which chamber contains salt and which contains pepper. The white and grey colour scheme may also help distinguish between the two sides. Check the manufacturer's markings on the mill body.
Is a 2-in-1 mill as good as separate mills?
The Lincoln Duo Mill uses the same quality ceramic mechanisms found in dedicated mills. The separate chambers prevent any cross-contamination. The main difference is convenience and space-saving - you have both seasonings in one compact unit. For table use and everyday cooking, it performs excellently whilst taking up half the space.
What types of salt work in this mill?
Use rock salt or dry coarse sea salt in the salt chamber. Avoid Maldon, Fleur de Sel, or other light finishing salts - these are too light and friable for grinding. The ceramic mechanism handles standard salt types well but isn't designed for wet sea salts.
Can I use pink peppercorns in the pepper chamber?
Pink peppercorns are very soft and don't crack properly like black, white, or green peppercorns. When used alone, very little comes out. Mix pink peppercorns with harder black or white peppercorns for best results - this isn't a fault with the mill, it's the nature of pink peppercorns.
Can I use this mill over steaming pots?
No, never use mills directly above steaming pots. Steam cakes salt onto mechanisms and can stop them working. Steam also damages mechanisms through moisture exposure over time. Season food after cooking, or use a separate container for cooking salt and pepper.
What We've Learned About Mills Since 1972
After five decades of helping customers choose mills, we've seen numerous design innovations, but the 2-in-1 concept genuinely solves practical problems. For smaller kitchens, table service, or anyone tired of managing multiple mills, the Lincoln represents thoughtful engineering rather than gimmickry.
The key to successful 2-in-1 mills is the mechanism choice. The Lincoln's ceramic mechanisms work because ceramic can handle both salt and pepper effectively. Earlier designs that attempted carbon steel for both seasonings failed quickly when salt corroded the metal. Cole & Mason learned from these mistakes.
The most common question we hear is whether 2-in-1 mills compromise on quality. They don't - the ceramic mechanisms in the Lincoln are the same quality you'd find in dedicated ceramic mills. The separate chambers prevent cross-contamination. The only real difference is convenience and space efficiency, both of which work in favour of the 2-in-1 design.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Identifying Chambers: Check the manufacturer's markings on the mill body to identify which chamber contains salt and which contains pepper. The white and grey colour scheme may also provide visual cues.
Adjusting Grind Size: The mill features adjustable grind settings for both chambers. Adjust according to the manufacturer's instructions to achieve your desired texture from fine to coarse. The settings can be adjusted independently for each chamber if needed.
Daily Use: Hold the mill upright and twist to grind from whichever chamber you need - salt or pepper. The separate chambers ensure no cross-contamination or flavour transfer. Switch between seasonings as needed during cooking or at the table.
Refilling: When either chamber runs low, access each filling chamber independently according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the pepper chamber with whole peppercorns (black, white, or green - never pre-ground pepper). Fill the salt chamber with coarse dry salt such as rock salt or dry sea salt.
What to Use: In the pepper chamber, use black, white, or green peppercorns. Mix pink peppercorns with harder varieties rather than using alone. In the salt chamber, use rock salt or dry coarse sea salt. Avoid light finishing salts like Maldon or Fleur de Sel, which should be sprinkled by hand instead.
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. The acrylic and ABS materials are easy to clean and show when external wiping is needed.
Storage: Keep in a dry location away from steam and excessive moisture. Never use directly above steaming pots - season food after cooking instead. Store upright to prevent any potential leakage from either chamber.
If Grinding Becomes Difficult: Large salt crystals or peppercorns may occasionally lodge in the mechanism. Turn the mill upside down, adjust to the coarsest setting, and twist to clear the blockage. Return to your desired setting afterwards.
