Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Cardiff was looking to refresh its tabletop presentation, moving away from disposable shakers to something more permanent and eco-friendly. They chose the Olympia DN650 grinders for their modern look and reputed durability.
"We were chuffed to bits with these. They look so much smarter than our old shakers, and our customers have even commented on how nice they are to use. They feel sturdy, and the staff find them a breeze to refill, which saves precious time during a hectic service."
David Chen – General Manager
The switch immediately elevated the perceived quality of their table settings and has completely eliminated the recurring cost and waste of disposable shakers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- To fill, simply twist the metal knob at the top anti-clockwise and lift the wooden cap off.
- Fill the chamber with coarse rock salt or whole peppercorns – don't overfill!
- Place the cap back on and tighten the knob to secure it.
- Give it a few twists to start the grinding process. It's ready for the table!
Keeping It Going
- To clean the exterior, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scourers as this can damage the wood finish.
- Do not submerge the grinder in water, as this will damage the wood and the mechanism.
- To clear the mechanism, you can grind a small amount of coarse salt through it, which helps clean out any residue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this grinder for both salt and pepper?
A: Yes, absolutely. The ceramic mechanism is non-corrosive and works perfectly for both coarse salt and whole peppercorns.
Q: How do I refill the grinder?
A: It’s very simple. Just unscrew the small metal knob on top and lift the main wooden section off to access the filling chamber.
Q: What kind of salt should I use?
A: For best results, use coarse-grain salt such as rock salt or sea salt. Fine table salt is not suitable for grinding.
Q: Is the grind size adjustable?
A: This model features a high-quality fixed grind, designed to deliver a consistent, medium-coarse seasoning suitable for most dishes.
Q: What is Hevea wood?
A: Hevea is a fantastic, eco-friendly hardwood that comes from the rubber tree. It's known for being dense and durable, making it ideal for busy commercial environments.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Just wipe the outside with a clean, damp cloth. Never put it in a dishwasher or submerge it in water, as this will damage the wood and the internal parts.
Q: Will the grey colour chip or flake off?
A: The grey finish is a high-quality stain designed to soak into the wood rather than sit on top like paint, making it very resistant to chipping and wear.
Q: Can I use it for other spices like coriander seeds?
A: While designed for salt and pepper, the ceramic mechanism can handle other hard, dry spices of a similar size, but it's always best to stick to its primary purpose for longevity.

Ever wondered why some grinders just seem better than others? Often, it comes down to what's on the inside. This Olympia DN650 pepper mill uses a ceramic grinding mechanism, which is a big step up from the common plastic or metal ones. Think of it like using a proper chef's knife instead of a flimsy one; the results are just cleaner and more precise. Ceramic is incredibly hard and won't corrode from contact with salt or react with the oils in peppercorns. This means it stays sharp for longer and, most importantly, doesn't taint the flavour of your seasoning. You get a pure, fresh taste every single time.
