Big Things Come in Small Packages

With performance identical to the original Pepper Cannon, the Travel Size Pepper Cannon produces extravagant quantities of fresh ground pepper in an unmatched grind range.

World-Class Performance You Can Take With You

Once you've used the Pepper Cannon, going back to traditional mills is a chore. Take the performance you're used to in a powerful pocket-size pepper pulverizer that packs a punch.

Is That A Travel Cannon In Your Pocket?

Yes it is. Yes, it's smaller than the original Pepper Cannon. No, I was not in the pool. Listen, it's not about the size-it's what's on the inside that counts. Yes, I should have moved it to my carry-on before entering the metal detector. Yes, I do consent to a pat down.

Leverage Top

Add the included silicone top to your Travel Cannon to increase grind leverage. Or don't. I'll stop telling you what to do.

You'll love telling Strangers about the Tiny Pepper Grinder

There's a belt loop on the case so you can wear it wherever you go, and of course you should. It's both a conversation starter, and if you need, a convesation ender.

FAQ: Travel Size Pepper Grinder

Why make a smaller Pepper Cannon?

Once you use a Pepper Cannon, you lose the patience required to operate ordinary pepper mills.

Now you can take that performance with you wherever you go.

But it's so small-Surely it can't grind as fast as the original!

It can. And don't call me Shirley.

The Travel Cannon uses the same burrs, adjuster assembly, and dual bearing supported drive shaft as the the original. Same convenient push button top release too.

Why is it still expensive?

The Travel Cannon has the same parts list as the original Pepper Cannon, just in a more compact package. It's as small as we could make it with zero performance compromises.

Why call it the Travel Cannon?

I felt this was the most interesting name for you to explain to the TSA.

Why the rubber top?

The radius of the top determines the mechanical advantage you enjoy while grinding.

Decreasing the width of top makes it harder to turn, so adding the silicone top increases the mechanical advantage. Take it or leave it based on your preference.

Can I grind salt in my Travel Cannon?

No, salt will corrode the stainless steel internals eventually.

Does the Pepper Cannon put out a lot of pepper at all settings?

No, the finer the grind, the less pepper comes out.

You can adjust the Pepper Cannon so fine that pepper stops coming out completely.

We call this setting "invisibly fine" or "inert iocane powder".

Why do you endorse the grind & shake method?

Every pepper mill can drop remnants of pepper after grinding when you set it down.

After grinding, give the Pepper Cannon (or any other pepper mill) one shake above whatever you're seasoning before putting it down.

This helps prevent wasting pepper and leaving pepper where you don't want it.

Will I have to refill my Pepper Cannon frequently?

That depends on your use. The Cannon holds a half cup of peppercorns, which is generous but not excessive.

It's best to store peppercorns in a sealed container to prolong freshness, so we opted against a super large reservoir (and corresponding height) that would take home users a long time to empty.

Plus the Pepper Cannon is so easy to refill that it's no longer a chore. Pop the top, pour in fresh peppercorns, and click the top back on. No need to remove, replace, and recalibrate the Pepper Cannon just to refill it.

Will the Pepper Cannon come pre-filled with peppercorns?

The Pepper Cannon will ship empty, but we offer a variety of premium peppercorns you can pair with your new favorite grinder.

Can I grind red peppercorns, and white peppercorns, and green peppercorns, and coffee, and cloves, and fennel, and anise, and coriander in it?

Yes.

You should get one Pepper Cannon for each of those things though, or your coffee will taste extra bold & special.

Is the Pepper Cannon available in different colors? I want one for each spice!

Currently, the Cannon is only available in black. We're looking at methods of differentiating the mills for those have multiples.

How do I clean my Pepper Cannon?

Wipe the exterior with a warm damp cloth or paper towel. It is recommended to keep the interior of the Pepper Cannon dry. If you must wash it, be certain to dry the interior thoroughly before refilling as it uses dry bearings, and they need to be kept dry. Do not put the Pepper Cannon in the dishwasher.

What if I don’t like pepper?

Purchase a Pepper Cannon to give away to someone who loves cooking.

Right now you're thinking of someone who would love this.

Get one for them.

But, I’m satisfied with my existing pepper mill, aren’t I?

Remember when you used to get up early to harness your horses to the carriage and the horses would poop so much-and it was everywhere?

And then you got a Tesla?

Replacing your pepper mill with a Pepper Cannon is like that.

You won’t want to go back to the old way.

But I like cranking my pepper mill many, many times every time I eat.

That’s not a question.

What's the downside of the Pepper Cannon? It can't be all sunshine and butterflies...

You'll probably go through more pepper. Also, the Pepper Cannon grinds more peppercorns at once so it requires more force to turn than ordinary mills at some settings.

Oh, and dinner guests will try and steal it.

What does MÄNNKITCHEN mean?

Männ is old Norse for “my”, so männkitchen means "my kitchen".

So, in a way-my kitchen is your kitchen, and your kitchen is my kitchen!

Which reminds me- you're out of cheese.

Why would anyone need a pepper cannon?

Professional kitchens need it to save time and increase the consistency/quality of their fresh ground pepper.

You need it for the same reasons, plus to prompt envy in dinner guests.

I’m against firearms, is a pepper cannon a violation of my moral code?

Yes, but in the best way possible.

Is the Pepper Cannon loud?

It is the quietest cannon we've tested.

Is the Pepper Cannon better than a pepper shaker?

It’s better than a pepper shaker in the same way that eating your favorite meal is better than a mouthful of cat litter.

Why aluminum?

Building it out of metal enables us to machine precision parts that fit together with exact tolerances so the results are consistent and fast.

Also, aluminum is the most plentiful metal on Earth, is the easiest to recycle, and can be recycled again and again, indefinitely.

Do people really like me, or do they just come over because I have a Pepper Cannon?

They really like you.

Aaaand the Pepper Cannon helps.

What should I do with my old pepper mill? Looking at it brings back unpleasant memories…

Forgive your old pepper mill. It served you as best it could.

Where is the Pepper Cannon manufactured?

MÄNNKITCHEN is a US company and we work with many different suppliers. The Pepper Cannon is manufactured by an exceptional partner in China. It's very difficult to find quality manufacturing partners that provide both outstanding quality and value. We are always looking for top shelf suppliers and if you know of-or represent one, please contact us!

Does the Pepper Cannon have a warranty?

Yes, the Pepper Cannon has a 5 year warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship.

Mannkitchen Travel Size Pepper Cannon with Holster — A Pocket-Sized Powerhouse for Serious Flavor

Some kitchen tools feel nice. Others feel engineered. The Mannkitchen Travel Size Pepper Cannon with Holster lands squarely in the latter category—a compact, impeccably built instrument that turns pepper grinding into a tactile, deeply satisfying ritual.

Precision Engineering You Can Feel

From the moment you pick it up, the Pepper Cannon announces its pedigree. The body feels solid and deliberate, with a reassuring weight that speaks to high-grade materials and tight manufacturing tolerances. This isn’t stamped metal or lightweight plastic masquerading as premium—it’s a finely machined tool designed to be used hard and often. Every seam, every turn of the adjustment ring, and every click of the grind mechanism feels intentional and precise.

Burrs That Mean Business

At the heart of the Pepper Cannon is its precision-engineered burr system, and this is where it truly separates itself from ordinary grinders. The burrs are aggressively efficient, cutting through peppercorns cleanly rather than crushing them. The result is a remarkably consistent grind that preserves aromatic oils and delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort.

What’s especially impressive is the range of grind settings. With a simple adjustment, you can move seamlessly from bold, cracked pepper for steaks and roasts to a fine, powdery grind ideal for soups, eggs, or delicate finishing. Each setting is repeatable and…

Small Mannkichen

I bought my husband the large Mann kitchen a couple years ago and every time we go out to dinner, he wishes he had the smaller one that he could carry into a restaurant so that he could use the pepper Canin on his food, which is far superior to the pepper shakers they have at restaurants. He was delighted to get the gift and very happy with it.
