AVOID
Unfortunately (just like the rock salt grinder version) the top comes of whilst being used and results in a plate covered in black peppercorns :(
Terrible!
Terrible product, top comes off when using the grinder. I have ruined more than one meal because the top has come off and filled what I'm cooking with peppercorns. I thought it might be a faulty batch but I've had 2 now and they both did the same. Last time i tired to order a different brand, the substituted it with this one....will make sure to tick no subs next order. Avoid!
Cheap and refillable
Ignore the reviewers who couldn't (like me, first time) work out how to take the top off to refill it. PEEL THE LABEL OFF. Remember to do it up tight so it doesn't come unscrewed. Bit cheap but to handle but it works fine.
Poor
Lasted about 2 weeks before it broke.
This adds flavour to everything, perfect on eggs

Mechanical messy fail
The mechanism failed and filled my sand which with peppercorns... thought it was a one off. Bought another and ruined a a huge soup. Avoid or be very careful. Perhaps grind into a separate bowl.
If I could have given this item zero stars I would
If I could have given this item zero stars I would. Spent nearly an hour making a dinner for guests only to have this item break and destroy everyone’s food. Picking through everyone’s food wasn’t an option !
Great little grinder
Was all set to throw my empty pepper grinder out until I saw these reviews. Don't try to twist the grinder part off, that won't work. I found that my label didn't need to be removed either, it was already below the neckline. The trick is to prize off where there are 6 plastic bumps on both sides at the neckline. A blunt table knife worked just fine for me and once one side of the 6 plastic bumps was raised then the whole top pops off!
It is refillable and recyclable
I’m on my third and I’ve only just realised that this grinder can be refilled!! All the reviews that say you can’t refill and that it’s not recyclable you are wrong. If you remove the label you’ll find that the grinding mechanism/top can be completely removed for recycling or refilling. It’s a great product and does as good a job as expensive grinders - well done Tesco’s
Not refillable and non-recyclable.
When buying this. I thought it would be-refillable and recyclable. But it's not! You can't separate the plastic lid from the glass base. C'mon Tesco - you can do better!!
