I was looking at Sur La Table's website for a tamper and came across this set of "Espresso Mills"... can anyone see something wrong with this picture?

ZOMG EPIC TOPIC FAIL!!1! (sorry, couldn't resist :biggrin:)

In this case, 'espresso' refers to the color of the salt and pepper grinders. Yes, it could've been worded better...

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Funny. But okay, this leads me to a question about salt mills. With pepper mills, the point is to keep the oils in the pepper corn until grinding, right?. But salt doesn't have oil, does it? Does grinding salt have any purpose beyond turning a too coarse product into usable product - which could've just been bought that way?

Gee... you might correct.

This is a good lesson to myself why I should not post when my daughter wakes up at 4am and I am mentally dead to the world. I think my thought process (or lack there of) was that pepper grinders are burr mills that could theoretically grind coffee and that they were trying to re-purpose them.

Why a salt grinder? Why not?? Its a good way to make consumers buy two when they only need one.
