Robert Welch Palm Bright Pepper Mill - Large
The Palm Bright Large Pepper Mill stands 312mm tall, making it a commanding presence on any table or kitchen worktop. This statuesque mill combines Robert Welch's signature fluted design with the practical benefits of premium grinding technology, creating a piece that functions as both kitchen tool and sculptural statement.
Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the distinctive fluting catches and reflects light whilst providing tactile grip during use. 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 and maintains its sharpness over time, unlike metal mechanisms which can dull with use.
The generous 180g capacity means less frequent refilling, particularly useful during busy cooking sessions or when entertaining. The top-fill design allows you to add peppercorns without dismantling the base mechanism, and the height provides excellent leverage for efficient grinding with minimal effort.
Key features include:
- Statuesque design: 312mm height creates a statement piece for table or worktop whilst providing excellent grinding leverage
- Fluted Palm aesthetic: 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
- Large capacity: Holds approximately 180g of peppercorns, reducing refill frequency during cooking
- Top-fill convenience: Refill without unscrewing the base mechanism
- Colour-coded identification: Black collar and base distinguish this as the pepper mill (salt mill has white)
- Lifetime guarantee: Robert Welch's commitment to both materials and mechanism quality
- Gift presentation: Arrives in a gift box, suitable for wedding registries or special occasions
Designed for those who appreciate equipment that combines functional excellence with visual presence, whether as part of the coordinated Palm collection or as a standalone statement piece.
What Customers Ask About the Robert Welch Palm Bright Large Pepper Mill
How does the large size compare to the medium?
The large mill stands 312mm tall compared to the medium's 168mm, making it nearly twice the height. It holds approximately 180g of peppercorns versus 50g in the medium, reducing refill frequency. Both use the same CrushGrind ceramic mechanism and have identical 70mm width.
What's the difference between the pepper and salt mills?
The pepper mill has a black collar and base, whilst the salt mill has a white 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 within their size category.
Is the large size practical for table use?
Yes, the 312mm height provides excellent leverage for grinding with minimal effort. Whilst it makes a statement on the table, it's equally suited to kitchen worktop use where the large capacity means less frequent refilling during cooking.
Can I adjust the grind size?
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.
Why choose a ceramic mechanism over metal?
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.
Is this dishwasher safe?
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.
What does the lifetime guarantee cover?
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 peppercorns without dismantling the base. Simply unscrew the top, add approximately 180g of peppercorns, and replace the cap. The large capacity means less frequent refilling during cooking sessions.
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 spices: If you wish to switch from one type of peppercorn 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 peppercorns.
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.
