A hand-held and hand-operated condiment grinder-dispenser includes a housing, a grinding mechanism having a rotary grinding wheel and a driving mechanism having an operating lever coupled to the grinding wheel and arranged for a reciprocating motion composed of a manually-induced forward motion and a spring-induced return motion. An overrunning (freewheeling) clutch couples the driving mechanism to the grinding wheel for transmitting a torque from the driving mechanism to the grinding wheel solely during the forward motions (work strokes) of the operating lever. The operating lever is positioned with respect to a housing part such that the operating lever and the housing part are included in a grip of the user's hand, as the condiment grinder-dispenser is held and operated.
