Black Rain is designed to quickly dispense fresh ground pepper with one hand, at the exact grind you want, every time. No cranking, adjusting or tightening required.
Black Rain costs a bit more and regular pepper mills aren’t THAT hard to use, right? But, use our mill just once, and every other grinder seems like an antique.
Just three easy steps to effortless, perfect, fresh ground pepper.
Simply plug the included cable into any USB charger - Black Rain will run for years of typical use on a single charge.
Fill the hopper with your favorite peppercorns. We highly recommend Tellicherry Extra Bold for the best flavor.
Just press the top button, and fresh ground pepper begins to dispense instantly, at the exact grind you have set.
The key to Black Rain's outstanding performance is a high-torque motor paired with a modern, high-energy Lithium battery. This combination provides plenty of power to quickly grind even the toughest peppercorns, and will run for years of typical household use on a single charge.
With all the power provided by the modern Lithium cell, we were able to add an array of very bright LEDs that power up automatically whenever the mill is in use. This makes it easy to see where and how much pepper is being dispensed, regardless of ambient light. No more surprises when you take that first bite.
One of the most frustrating aspects of most pepper mills is the tension screw to adjust the grind. Switching from fine to coarse requires trial and error, and the grind tends to change as you use the mill. We've eliminated the problem with five indexed settings. Get the same grind every time, from fine to extra coarse.
With as long as the battery in a Black Rain mill lasts, we don't expect anyone to remember the last time the unit was charged. So, the mill will remind you with a red LED that illuminates when about 20 minutes of run time remains. Plug in the USB cable within a few days and your Black Rain mill is always ready to use.
