CAPEFINE
Salt and pepper mill

The salt and pepper mill from Capefine is a real eye-catcher. It is made from acacia wood , as is the matching trivet . In addition to its attractive appearance , the mill set features a stainless steel head. Each mill also contains a high-quality ceramic grinder for particularly fine spices as well as coarse salt and peppercorns. The simple engraving S for salt and P for pepper on the mills is also very attractive. The combination of wood and stainless steel looks very elegant. The beautiful coaster stabilises the mills and keeps the table clean. The mills impress with their high-quality workmanship and excellent results. The elegant packaging also makes them ideal as a gift. The salt and pepper mill set is completely plastic-free. As an added bonus, Capefine donates part of its sales to BOS Deutschland e.V. However, it remains unclear how much of the sales are donated.

Advantages

✅ High-quality workmanship
✅ high-quality materials
✅ Very environmentally friendly
✅ Very good handling

Disadvantages

❌ How much of the turnover is donated remains unclear, and there is also no proof

The test

General information

We have looked at and tested the product in detail in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. The product is subjected to our test procedure from the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum possible number of points per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weightings.

The first impression

The packaging and labelling

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The mill set from Capefine arrived in a secure box. The box was undamaged. Inside the box, the product was in its own small printed box. This looks very high quality and is beautifully designed. No plastic was used at all. The grinders are well protected in recesses in the box. In this case, the product was fully protected and the grinders were therefore in perfect condition. Unfortunately, the manufacturer fails to provide proof of the donation to BOS e.V. and leaves open how much is donated.

After unpacking

Package contents and instructions

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

After unpacking, there were 3 parts on the table. The two grinders and the coaster. No operating instructions are required. The product packaging contains contact details.

The manufacturer’s contact details can be found on the box.

The mill set from Capefine makes a very good visual impression in the test. The combination of wood and metal looks very elegant. The feel of the grinders is very pleasant. In addition to the appealing design, the set has no manufacturing faults and makes a very stable and durable impression. The grinders stand stably on the coaster. It is easy to screw on and off and simple to fill. The simple engraving gives the mill set a very high-quality look.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

We really enjoyed testing the Capefine salt and pepper mill. The quick and easy filling is another advantage. The mill set not only impresses with its beautiful appearance , but also with its pleasant feel. It sits very comfortably in the hand and is easy to turn. The trivet not only enhances the set visually, but is also very practical. The table stays clean and the set looks tidy. The result is impressive , with freshly ground salt and pepper running easily through the grinder.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.6 stars. One criticism is that the grinder cannot be easily adjusted. This could not be confirmed in the practical test. Many customers like the ease of use, the attractive appearance and the good results. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the product has a very good finish and delivers a good result.

Prices for equivalent products on the internet range from €11.99 to €537.67. The Capefine salt and pepper grinder set is currently in the lower price segment with a price of €38.99. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services that you get.
