 Get the best and impressApr 16, 2009
By James L. Brotherton
I went to the local kitchen supply to buy the Unicorn Magnum but did not like it. It was ugly and felt cheap. The deal killer was that there is no way to repeat the grind setting without trail and error. All respect to Adam in the equipment corner but there are more important criteria of a pepper grinder to me than just how much pepper it will grind per turn. This Peugeot not only looks good and feels good but it has the best adjustment of grind I have found. There are 5 marks on the base as seen in the photo. You twist the base to the marks or anywhere in between them to adjust, not the top knob as stated in another review (different Peugeot?). I am coarse and my wife is fine (typical right?) and we are constantly adjusting the grind. Haven't had any problems with it. Great!

High quality pepper millJan 04, 2009
By K. James
As always, Peugeot is making very high quality merchandise. Excellent mechanism does a perfect job of grinding the pepper powdery fine if you hand-tighten the top screw and larger flakes as you loosen it. Such a difference between this and other brand names I've settled for. This mill comes highly recommended!

 Looks wonderful, but ...Sep 30, 2008
By LiddiePF

I'm not convinced it is working correctly ... we have used Peugeot pepper mills for over 30 years in my house, and this one just seems to struggle to chunk out the pepper ... i have to keep shaking it to check if it is out of pepper, as that is what it sometimes seems like. I love how it looks and feels, and fact that you can change setting for how fine you would like pepper ground, but sometimes it just comes up empty when it actually is anything but ... has anyone else had this problem???

grinds well, but lacquer cracks easily at baseNov 26, 2011
By Allison
This pepper grinder looks beautiful, works very well, and produces 6 distinct levels of fineness with ease. Unscrewing the top is easy, so refilling it is simple (my old pepper grinder required pliers to get the top knob off).
However, I found that the lacquer cracks easily on the base -- the part you turn to select the grind. When I first received it, the grinder was cracked there. I returned this one and got another one in perfect shape. However with about 4 months of normal use (and only changing the grind thickness about 5 times) this one also has a crack in the base. From what I can tell this crack is only in the red coating, not the wood, but I am worried it will start flaking off eventually and look bad. If I could I would give it a 3.5 since it works so beautifully.

Perfect GrinderNov 28, 2010
By Shirley A. Blackwell
I bought this at the request of my daughter who is a fabulous cook. She is also very picky about the products she uses as she wants only the best because of the constant use they must be able to stand up to. She has had many pepper mills in the past that initially don't measure up. This one should stand the test of time. It is beautiful and the grinding mechanism works better than she had hoped. This is a bit pricey but if someone is a serious chef, it is well worth the money.
