Porlex Sesame Mill III

The Porlex Sesame Mill III is a precision hand operated mill designed specifically for roasted sesame seeds, producing a light, fluffy texture with exceptional smoothness. Using finely engineered ceramic burrs, this mill cuts sesame seeds rather than crushing them, helping to preserve their natural character while avoiding excess oil release.

At the core of the Sesame Mill III are Porlex’s evolved ceramic burrs with a glass coating. This coating allows sesame seeds to pass smoothly through the burr grooves, preventing clogging and reducing friction. The result is a fine, powdery grind that can be adjusted from ultra fine to coarse, depending on your preference. When set to a very fine grind, approximately 0.8 grams, slightly less than one teaspoon, can be ground in around ten turns of the mill.

The newly designed burr shape and glass coating technology enable this mill to grind even ultra small sesame seeds without them slipping through uncut. It is capable of handling seeds as small as approximately 3.1 mm in length, 1.7 mm in width, and 0.6 mm in thickness. Among hand operated sesame mills, it achieves an exceptionally fine and smooth grind.

Operation is light and smooth, requiring only fingertip effort. The glass container holds approximately 10 grams of roasted sesame seeds, making it suitable for everyday kitchen use. Granularity is easily adjusted via the internal screw, allowing control from coarse to the finest possible setting.

The Porlex Sesame Mill III is manufactured entirely in house at Porlex’s factory in Kirishima City, Kagoshima, Japan, covering everything from technology development to manufacturing and shipping. Designed exclusively for well dried roasted sesame seeds, it reflects Porlex’s focus on precision, durability, and thoughtful design for long term use.

  Grind the sesame seeds until lightly fluffy.

  Because the oily sesame seeds are chopped with fine blades without being kneaded, it has a light and soft texture.
  When ground to an extra-fine consistency, it becomes even finer and smoother.

• 

  Ceramic blades further enhanced with glass coating

  The sesame seeds are fed through grooves between the glass-coated blades, so they are not crushed, and no excess oil is released, resulting in a finely chopped powder.
