The present invention is a device which interfaces with a pepper mill and facilitates the transfer of peppercorns into the interior of the pepper mill. The pepper mill filler is primarily designed to work with a type of pepper mill which contains a removable top component secured in place by a locking nut screwed to a threaded shaft. When the top component is removed, the threaded shaft remains exposed. The pepper mill filler is a generally hemispherical bowl which is wide at the apex and narrower at the base. The base contains an outlet in the center which is wide enough to fit over the threaded shaft with ample room left over for whole peppercorns to fall through. The pepper mill filler is placed over the threaded shaft and rests on top of the peppermill. Peppercorns are poured through the wide opening of the dispenser and are guided to the interior of the pepper mill. When the pepper mill is fill, the dispenser is removed and the top component of the pepper mill is replaced and secured with the locking nut.
