CrushGrind© Billund - lime

The Crushgrind© Billund is a  sustainable  spice mill, made of biocomposite material, with a ceramic grinding element, very suitable as a pepper mill.

The design is by Sam(uel) Murley of the Danish concept developer Ideas. The Billund is the latest addition to the Danish brand's range, available in three colours: lime,  paprika and masala.

The handy, twelve centimetre high Billund is, just like the Kalas from our range, an 'inverted mill'. The mill stands with the grinding mechanism facing upwards, so that you do not spill any ground on the worktop or tablecloth. It is intended for commercial and domestic use. A versatile mill, because you can use it not only for pepper, but also for a large number of spices and dried herbs, so that you can make your own spice mixtures fresh.

The grinding mechanism consists of a rotating ceramic element that was developed in the early nineties by Ken Muff Larsen. CrushGrind® holds the patent for the ceramic grinding system, which is also used by many other major brands. The Billund is produced in Europe.

How the CrushGrind® Billund works

To fill the grinder, remove the silicone cap from the bottom of the grinder. The fineness of the grind  adjust by turning the wheel, clockwise for a finer setting, counterclockwise for a coarser setting.

To grind, make  you  a rotating movement with the upper part. You can do with a short stroke, a movement back and forth.

Cleaning

If you want to change spices, grind some coarse (sea) salt to clean the ceramic part. When you turn the wheel that determines the grind, the grinding mechanism is released, if you want to clean it anyway.

Preferably do this with a hard, dry brush, even cleaning with water is allowed. Before you do this, read the instructions on the CrushGrind website. Make sure that the mechanism is completely dry when you use the grinder again! The drying time is at least 24 hours.

Material

The Billund is clearly inspired by the Lego mini figures, the name is derived from the place where the official Lego park is located, the Danish Billund.

The playful design is made with a biocomposite material with cellulose fibres from certified wood - mainly coniferous trees - that is harvested from sustainably managed forests. It has a low CO₂ footprint unlike biomaterials made from edible crops. The biocomposite used for Billund does not compete with the food production chain.

The biocomposite is based on almost 100% renewable materials with two main components:

• cellulose fibers,
• liquid rosin (called tall oil), a residue from pulp production

Warranty

Crushgrind© gives you a 25-year warranty on the ceramic element.

Packaging:

The mill is delivered in a cardboard box with printed wrapping.
