About FinaMill

FinaMill is the result of an inventor getting inspired, an artist getting passionate, and the two sharing a love of food and the way it brings people together. (Oh, and when those two are also married.) The inventor is Alex and he knows more about pepper mills than pepper does. In a past life, he designed and produced disposable grinders for spice companies but got frustrated by what was out there for cooks. He wanted to create something that would make grinding all kinds of spices a breeze, especially for those with hand and wrist limitations. The artist is Sophia and, in her words, “those who eat together, stay together”. She’s always cooking for friends and family, and loves the bigger flavour that comes from freshly ground spices. After many conversations over dinner (and maybe a glass of wine), Alex and Sophia decided they wanted to make a great-looking spice mill that got more people enjoying fresh spices. A single mill with swappable pods - each designed for different spices - that was easier to use, didn’t contaminate flavours, and didn’t end up in a landfill when empty. And sooooo… After 10 years of research, 35 patents, many rounds of testing, and even more rounds of designs, Alex and Sophia created the FinaMill you see today: pick your pod, click into place, press for flavour. Then repeat and repeat and repeat! Read their story
