Is this easy to open to refill, I have the Koycera grinder and I can open it up to refill, my husband has to.

I haven't had any trouble opening and refilling it. I'm a woman in my late forties so you shouldn't have any trouble.

Very easy to refill. the top including the silver band just unscrews from the glass part below. Also you can change your grind. There is a small dial at the bottom of the black part inside and you just dial your size. Some people have noted that they couldn't change their grind and they probably just never noticed the dial. Two years ago I bought six of them, one for each of our kids and myself. They all use them every day. I use Pensey's Rock Salt in it.

It is easy to twist off the top. However, the grinding mechanism inside stripped out after only a couple months' use. I wouldn't recommend it.

i have about 5 (so far) kamenstein grinders and they are all easy to fill. the kamenstein are the only ones i buy now -- love them!

I found it easy to refill. It doesn't seem to really like the Celtic Sea Salt I put in there particularly well - because of the moisture content I think. The salt that came in it ground beautifully.

No it's very easy. just dial in the grind size and turn the knob on the right and it starts griding. depending how many cups you are trying to brew and how strong it only takes a few second. the see thru bin on the front can hold alot of ground coffee. i usually grind a little more than i need just in case i want more coffee. Best grinder for the price, performance for the home. i hope this helps

No, but they are easy to hold when refilling, the opening is larger than I thiught.

Same here, but we got them close..now HOW DO YOU OPEN IT? I'm afraid that when I bottle the Kombucha I wont be able to open them again.

Negative. I have only jammed it up once and I just removed the head and cleared it. Very satisfied with this grinder after 3 years of hard use.

Yes, it's easy to refill. But it does not dispense shampoo or conditioner easily. It seems to only handle liquid soap (which is much thinner) well.

Yes, very easy open. At first I struggled with closing the lid because I didn't understand that I have to pull the lever with my thumb for opening AND closing! FYI, I have crippled hands from severe rheumatoid arthritis. But I still can do it.

Yes, very easy to use. My wife like this one.. She has had it for a long time.

Sometimes I have trouble with the pepper grinder opening, but then I push the pieces together and then twist. This helps me out and gets the unit undone.

Julie: Just pull the top silver piece straight off and fill. Be careful as today I filled my pepper grinder and I pulled the top rather firmly and some peppercorns flew when the top came off. My fault as I was in a bit of a hurry. Hope you enjoy the grinder. Do you have both the salt and pepper ones? I have both. Had to order from two different vendors, but love them both. They are well worth the money spent. Enjoy!

Turn the bottom to open. Pull the handle so that the battery compartment is removed. This will allow the mill to be refilled. Additionally, we noticed that the batteries corrode if left in the compartment without use. This happened with the second mill we purchased for sea salt.

Yes. I purchased one and while I haven't yet refilled it I did open it and see that it is easy to refill when the time comes.

Hi Saiganesh K. It is both refillable and reusable. It is also durable. As I noted in my review, however, the grind is not adjustable. Also if you want a lot of pepper (like for cooking purposes) it will take quite a few presses on the plunger to get a moderate amount of ground pepper. It is great for individual uses, if you like a moderately course grind.

Sorry. I never tried to refill it. I have only used up one of them and I just threw it away.

Easy. You just pull off/pry up the top portion of the pepper mill and two little holes are revealed. You fill the mill through those.

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

That is correct. A hand coffee grinder isn't expensive, but it takes some time to go through it.
