Abstract
A spice mill having a container and having a grinder which includes a stator connected to the container, in which a position of the stator, when connected, is substantially defined in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the grinder relative to the container; an actuator, which has a rotor arranged at least in portions within the stator and is mounted rotatably relative to the stator. The rotor is connected for conjoint rotation to an actuating element and the actuating element is rotatably connected to an adjusting element and is secured in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The adjusting element has a thread by which it can be connected to the container such that the position of the rotor is adjustable in the direction of the longitudinal axis by a rotation of the adjusting element relative to the container.

A spice mill comprising:
- a container and a grinder, the grinder having a stator removably connected to the container;
- and an actuator having a rotor;
- wherein a position of the stator in a connected state is substantially defined in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the grinder in relation to the container;
- wherein
- the rotor is at least partially arranged within the stator, and the rotor is mounted rotatably in relation to the stator;
- wherein
- the rotor is connected to an actuating element for conjoint rotation;
- wherein
- the actuating element is rotatably connected to an adjusting element, and the actuating element is secured in the direction of the longitudinal axis;
- wherein
- the adjusting element having a thread removably connected to a mating of the container, such that a position of the rotor in the direction of the longitudinal axis is adjusted by a rotation of the adjusting element in relation to the container.
