 This one will lastJan 17, 2010
By lightstream
We were frustrated at buying pepper mills that only lasted from a few months to a year before they couldn't grind pepper anymore. We decided to spend a bit more and get one that was built well and expected to last. This looked like the one to get. Having used it for a few weeks I can say it's even better quality than I expected. I know this one will last a very long time.
We're still using the pepper that ships with it and I can tell the mechanism is built to a very high standard. The six different grind settings are a pleasure to have, there are appropriate uses for all of them.
I've always liked pepper on my food, now I like it more than ever.
Edited, April 8 2010: I've taken three stars off the rating. After the pepper that shipped with the mill was used up the mill stopped working. We refilled it with pepper from Penzey's, a medium sized peppercorn, the one we have always used. I was careful to not fill it too high, after reading reviews here that warned of that. I tried taking all the pepper out, used compressed air to blow any particles out of the grinder and tried everything else I could think of. I've emptied it and refilled it to different levels a dozen times. It just doesn't work anymore. If I'm doing something wrong I can't imagine what. I don't want to have to buy pepper from Peugeot to make the grinder work.
Edited May 8 2010: We bought some cheap pepper at the grocery store and now the grinder works like it did originally. The peppercorns are slightly smaller than the good ones we get from Penzey's (which worked in every pepper grinder we ever had). We'll have to look for a different pepper that has a smaller size. I'm disappointed that this grinder is so restricted in what it can do. I'll have to bring some peppercorns in my pocket when I go shopping for a new type, just so I don't buy something that won't work in this grinder.

 Beautiful, functional, and great new adjustment feature!Dec 10, 2008
By sharkychick
I have used Peugeot salt and pepper mills for a long time now. I decided to replace my pepper because it was one of the lacquered ones and, unfortunately, the lacquer chips easily. This chocolate-colored one seemed like the perfect choice because it is stained and not lacquered, but still has the dark color I wanted (my salt mill is the natural wood, also beautiful!).
My old ones were before the U-Select varieties and, while they were great, the new feature is REALLY wonderful! The first thing I did, upon receiving my new pepper mill, was to test all the grind settings and they did exactly as they were supposed to. Now I want a new salt with the new grind adjustment feature too!
These prices are great for Peugeot mills. They are high quality and so attractive. The 7" is my favorite because it fits easily into my cabinet shelves and is a great size for a family of two. They would make incredible gifts and you can get a set of one of each for a good price here too. I highly recommend Peugeot mills.

Peugeot uSelect 9" Pepper MillJan 04, 2009
By Gary Evans
I bought this through Amazon about six months ago, loaded it with Tellicherry peppers, and have been happy ever since. It's the best pepper mill I've owned (of five!). The ability to select between a fine and course grind (with four in between) is a very nice feature that works well. The wood is beautiful and the quality first-rate.
I have since purchased the matching natural color salt mill and slightly regret that I didn't buy the pepper mill in a darker color (black or chocolate) because it would have made more sense to have a dark mill for pepper and a light mill for salt. As it is I have to peek at the top to see whether there is an S or a P. (I cook frequently for large groups and have to move quickly).
But that isn't Peugeot's fault. I figured it out after nearly mistaking one for the other a couple of times.
This is an excellent product from reputable manufacturer at a good price.

Best millApr 26, 2009
By R. Maitlen
This is the best peppermill I have ever owned or used. It's very sturdy and should hold up well for many years. The best feature about this mill is the ability to choose the courseness of the grind by rotating the base rather than turning the screw at the top. Mills that only allow adjustment by the top screw are a pain because the grind always seems to come out of adjustment. It looks and works great. Word of warning. I was originally shipped a Peugeot mill that was identical except that it wasn't a u-select, meaning you couldn't adjust the grind at the base. Amazon customer service was great and sent me the right mill. But be sure you get the u-select and not an older or cheaper model.

Definately NOT the same old grindApr 08, 2010
By E. Stilan
"Eric in SF"
I first heard about this pepper mill from America's Test Kitchen on PBS. In their testing this mill was top rated. I wondered if the pricey pepper mill would be worth it and It is.
My complaint with most pepper mills are they are ugly, hard to crank and adjusting the grind is hit or miss and doesn't usually alter the finess of the grind that much. The Peugot Pepper mill is unique in having the adjustment for pepper grind on the bottom section of the mill's body and it is marked with lines showing you the grind setting. No more guessing, it gives a great range from very fine to corse and all at the turn of a ring. The grinding is easy as you turn the body of this classically designed wood mill. I love that it is made of wood and that it isn't too tall - some are way too tall for use when cooking. The mill is also easy to fill from the top.
If you want a high quality product that you will be happy every time you grab for it then the Peugot Pepper Mill is for you.
