A set of two salt and spice grinders with an inverted ceramic mechanism — the grinder sits at the top, so residue falls back into the bottle. Designed by Kasper Rønn for Audo Copenhagen.

The Audo Copenhagen Bottle Grinder positions its ceramic grinding mechanism at the top of the bottle rather than the base. Ground spice falls down into the vessel between uses, leaving no ring of dust on the table or shelf. The ceramic burrs hold their edge in contact with salt — where steel corrodes — and do not impart a metallic taste over time. Grind coarseness adjusts from fine to coarse by rotating the top, and the rounded base sits in the hand for one-handed use.

Three exterior finishes; grinds beyond pepper

Available with a silicone, smooth ceramic, or brushed metal exterior, each giving a different grip texture and visual weight on the table. The mechanism diameter handles a wider range than a standard pepper mill — salt, peppercorns, dried spices, grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Sold as a set of two.
