How much salt/pepper does the grinder container/barrel hold? Looks kind of tiny.

Hello Maria, this is Maria :-) from Grind Gourmet, these mills hold quite a bit. It takes a while before you need to refill them, but when you do it is really simple, just unscrew the very bottom metal base and scoop in salt or pepper. We recommend keeping a freezer bag of your salt and pepper to make it easy to scoop in the contents versus trying to pour in salt and pepper. There are six people in my parent's home where these are used, I'm told even with regular daily use they don't need filling that often. We recommend using small to medium granule salts, not over filling them and giving them an upward swing to release the contents of the mill around the grinding rod to allow for easy/smooth grinding. Give them try, you'll love them. Not only are they environmentally friend, due to the fact they don't require batteries, they keep your texting thumbs in shape :-). Thank you and have a great day.

are these the vic firth pump and grind/? if not, how do they compare?

These grinders are pump and grind. They give out a decent amount per pump, normally it only takes a pump or two for me to season to my preferred level of seasoning. I've also dropped them a couple times from height onto my tile floors and they've held up well.

I would like to ask what the difference between these mills and other listings for mill like these?

Hello Michael! We are happy to clarify the difference between our mills and similar looking mills sold by other seller on Amazon. We offer our Original designed Pump & Grind mills on Amazon all others you see are copies of our mills. The Original Pump & Grind mills are made of solid stainless steel verses plastic tubing the copies are made with. The copies look like the originals because the manufacturer has added a metal sleeve to cover the interior plastic cylinder. We find the plastic inner tube is more susceptible to breaks at the visible portion of the copy mills, we know this because we offer both the copy mill and Originals on Amazon to give consumers the option to save a little and buy the copy or invest in the Originals. We offer our Originals in a variety of colors, sizes,and style, in singles, sets and smaller travel varieties with pouch and stand (search Grind Gourmet to pull up all our products listed on Amazon). We have backed our product line for many years with many happy returning customers. We understand knowing the difference in quality helps to explain a pricing difference in the price of our Original and the copy mills. Grind Gourmet has been around a long time so you know you can count on us, our company has built and maintained its reputation for excellence through many years, we are not just another seller on Amazon moving products. We hope this helps. Thanks for asking and hope this help others understand there is a difference between the mills offered on Amazon.

Does it come with the stand? Is it lucite? No battery needed? ARe they new?

Yes this listing is for Grind Gourmet's ORIGINAL mills, these mills come with the stand on this listing. If you are receiving mills without a stand you have invested in a knock-off mill. Only Grind Gourmet's mill sets come with a lucite stand made for two mills. We do however offer this stand as a separate item for sale on Amazon. No batteries are needed as these mills are thumb operated, you push down on the button, which moves a metal rod down through the salt/pepper to crush them on the way to your food. It's nice to have the stand to keep salt and pepper off your table! Thank you for your question!
