    Worst design ever!

    I turned it the wrong way by mistake, ended up with a frying pan full of peppercorns. I did continue to use it, and it tried to dump peppercorns in my pan yet again. It's hard to believe anybody thought this was a good design. Wish I could get my money back

    What a waste

    Not a fan. You made it nearly impossible to remove the grinder, which makes it unrecyclable. Maybe that's intended so that consumers buy a brand new one. I won't be one of those people. What a waste.

    We're sorry to hear that our McCormick® Black Pepper Grinder was giving you a difficult time while trying to remove the grinder mechanism from the glass bottle for recycling purposes. To separate the grinder component from the bottle, align the arrow in the glass and the arrow in the cap and you will be able to separate the plastic mechanism from the glass bottle. For more information, please visit www.mccormick.com/grinders. ~JM

    Not Sustainable packaging

    I agree with the previous reviewer that it is almost impossible to remove the grinder head in order to recycle the glass. Watched the video; still could not remove the grinder. Please re design your packaging. The product is good, but the packaging is not eco friendly.

    McCormick Peppercorn Adjustable Grinder

    The instructions on how to adjust the grind size could be a little more detailed, as in: leave the lid in place; the gray section is the grind selection for coarse, etc. Just twist. THEN remove black cap, turn upside down and twist. Instructions are vague and confusing.
    1 reply from McCormick team - 1 year ago
    We're sorry our McCormick® Black Pepper Grinder did not meet your expectations. We exercise great care in our products to bring you the highest quality and functionality possible. The grey/red section below the cap is the part that you twist to adjust the grind. The black part is the grinder. To adjust the grind, we suggest holding the black part with one hand while twisting the gray part to your desired grind size. To grind, remove the black lid and turn the bottle upside down over the food you wish to season. Grip the black grinder part with one hand, while slightly turning the glass base clockwise, and then counterclockwise. We appreciate your feedback and have shared your comments with our Marketing Team for their review. ~JM

    Misleading -Not recyclable, not sustainable-

    Removal of grinder cap -for recycling purposes- is almost impossible. The whole thing ended up in the trash... This is the second time I bought it, and surely will not buy again. A total "greenwash". Reconsider your ethics Mccormick….

    Hard to use

    This new design is awful. First problem is removing and replacing lid. It is difficult to "pop" the top off, actually painful to the thumb and fingers. Plus, you have to give it a good whack to put it back on. The grinder itself does not seem to work properly , therefore you have to exert extra effort just to try to grind. Mine is set at medium, but it frequently binds up. Not a fan. Go back to old design. As they say " If it ain't broke, don't fi it!" There was no reason, I can see for making the current change. You had a good product that worked fine

    Terrible pepper grinder

    If you have it on minimum on the grind dial, hardly any comes out. You have to grind it about 30 times to get a small amount of pepper to come out. If you put it on even a small increase on the dial, you get hard pieces of peppercorn coming out! Just awful! You think being McCormick, which is a namebrand, it would be better. The only good thing I can say, is that you can remove the top & add more peppercorns when it’s empty.

    Bad design

    Pepper grinder works great. But when you need to refill it you can't. Has instructions how to but I've been in a group of people and no one could do it. So your stuck buying a new grinder every time you need pepper. Thus making it a bad investment

    Grinder teeth wear out, unable to use 1/4 peppercorns

    I've purchased these pepper grinders for years and I've never been able to use the entire peppercorns as the grinder teeth wear out to soon. 1/4 of the peppercorns are usually left unusable as the teeth will no longer grind them.

    We're sorry our McCormick® Black Pepper Grinder didn't meet your expectations. Flavor is at the heart of everything we do and we exercise great care in our products to bring you the highest quality possible. If you adjust the grinder to the largest setting, the grinder mechanism should leave enough room for the contents to grind. To adjust the grind, we suggest holding the black part with one hand while twisting the gray part to your desired grind size. To grind, remove the black lid and turn the bottle upside down over the food you wish to season. Grip the black grinder part with one hand, while slightly turning the glass base clockwise, and then counterclockwise. ~JM

    Poor packaging design for Peppermill Grinder

    Why did you change the pepper mill grinder (.85oz)? The old design was much better. The new one has the WEIRD shape red plastic that does not have any scoring or something to grab onto while turning it. I also cut myself on the top red part as it is very sharp in places. The shape is ridiculous and the black cover is difficult to put back in place, partly because of that stupid red plastic shape. I also do not like the shape of the bottle. The old bottle had a wider bottom which made it more stable on a table rather than the new bottle which is more narrow. And why in the world are there two places on the new bottle bottom that has no glass? That even makes the new bottle more unstable. Why did McCormick make this change? It's the worst. It makes you avoid using pepper at all because it is so unpleasant and unsafe. This was a very dumb idea on someone's part at McCormick.

    Junk

    While the actual peppercorn is fantastic, the grinder is utterly useless junk. It broke and had a crack down the side of the top. Then to add insult to injury it fell off while I was seasoning my steaks causing pepper corn to go everywhere. Ruining my steaks, my dinner, and my night. Of course it struck again ruining my breakfast. I have two of these and the so low quality. None this happened when McCormick used their old design for the grinders! I guess I'll be using Morton for my seasonings from now on.
