Collection: AdHoc

What AdHoc makes

AdHoc is a German brand specialising in salt and pepper mills, spice grinders, coffee accessories, and seasoning tools — combining precision engineering with contemporary design. The HC range carries the full AdHoc mill catalogue, including the Classic (18 cm) and Tropica (electric) mill ranges, the Yuna teapot and tea-glass collection, the Moro coffee grinder and milk frother range, and unique seasoning tools like the Pepe Chilli Cutter and AromaPour oil/vinegar dispenser. AdHoc's signature ceramic grinding mechanisms are corrosion-resistant and odour-neutral — a meaningful upgrade over carbon-steel alternatives.

Where it's used

AdHoc's design language suits modern dining rooms and design-conscious cafés where function is presented as part of the table aesthetic. The Classic and Tropica mill ranges sit on every cover for salt and pepper service. The Yuna tea range — teapots, glass mugs, milk-and-sugar sets — is specified by tea-focused cafés and afternoon-tea venues. The Moro coffee accessories (manual grinders, French presses, electric milk frothers) suit boutique café floors and home-meets-commercial settings. Specialty tools like the Pepe Chilli Cutter solve specific kitchen problems without compromising on design integration.

Range highlights

• Classic Pepper/Salt Mill 18 cm (76501): the workhorse mill — ceramic mechanism, adjustable grind, available in matching salt-and-pepper pairs.
• Tropica electric mills: 21.5 cm battery-powered mills for tableside grinding without the mechanical effort, popular in fine dining.
• Pepe Chilli Cutter (76526): compact spice cutter for whole dried chillies, peppercorns, and bark spices — mounts on the bench or sits on the table.
• Yuna tea collection: 1.2 L teapot, glass cups (400 mL and 560 mL), tea infuser glass, milk-and-sugar set — the full tea ceremony in modern format.
• Moro coffee range: manual coffee grinders, French presses (600 mL, 1000 mL), electric milk frothers in dark grey, light grey, and copper finishes.
• AromaPour Oil/Vinegar Dispenser Set 300 mL: twin-bottle set with non-drip spouts for chef-station and tableside oil and vinegar service.

Working with our team

Hospitality Connect's catalogue depth in this category reflects 21+ years of supplying Australian commercial venues — single-supplier convenience across appliances, smallware, and consumables means fewer purchase orders, consolidated freight, and consistent specification advice from a team that's seen most operational scenarios before.

Specification matters more than buyers expect — undersized or oversized purchases waste both capital and operating cost. Our trade team spec'd thousands of fitouts across cafés, restaurants, hotels, function venues, and contract kitchens, and we'll match recommendations to your venue brief rather than push the catalogue.

Pair with

Coordinate AdHoc on the table with Cole & Mason mills (British alternative range), cutlery, drinkware, and display platters. For tea-focused venues, pair with commercial kettles for hot-water service.

AdHoc care and longevity

• Don't immerse mills in water — the ceramic mechanism is durable but the mill body components don't tolerate soaking.
• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately; spot-clean smooth-surface mills with non-abrasive polish.
• Empty and refill mills monthly — old salt and pepper compact in the chamber and reduce grind quality.
• For Tropica electric mills, replace batteries before they leak; alkaline leakage corrodes the mechanism quickly.
• Yuna glass tea cups: hand-wash to preserve the etched details on the lower rim.
• Moro electric frothers: rinse the whisk attachment immediately after use; milk protein dries onto the wire and reduces froth quality.
