Electric Peppermill

Amazon.com Review

This electric pepper mill has a modern shape that is beautiful to behold and and a superior grinding mechanism that meets the expectations of picky chefs. The mill has a brushed 18/10 stainless steel body with a glass window for monitoring how many peppercorns remain in the chamber. Pressing the button on top of the electric pepper mill commences grinding and pepper output. A lamp at the bottom lights up during grinding so that, even at a dimly lit dining table, you can always see how much pepper is landing on your green salad or salmon fillet. The grinder has a patented carbon steel grinding gear for long-lasting use and a dial on the underside of the mill controls the fineness of the grind (clockwise for fine and counter-clockwise for coarse). A plastic lid covers the grinder opening when the mill is at rest on a table or countertop. The electric pepper mill runs on six AAA batteries (not included) and the locking housing cover twists and lifts to expose the battery housing for installation. The battery housing also easily lifts from the base to refill the supply chamber with peppercorns. The grinder is suitable only for peppercorns and no other spices. --Cristina Vaamonde

This unit works fine.

However, do not expect much control over the granularity of your pepper.

I tested by setting out a white paper towel and setting the grid level using the knob to six different settings.

There is *very* little difference from coarse to fine...and fine contains chunks of pepper.

Addendum

The new shipments do NOT include the six AA batteries.

This thing is nice. A good show off item for guest mostly. It does the job well, but our light bulb has burned out in just a few months. So far I cannot find another one (strange bulb).

I love the speed at which I can grind a lot of pepper with this for preparing large dishes. However, the button often gets stuck in the "on" position, so this is not useful when you need to grind small amounts on an individual dish. In fact, the button often turns on when the mill gets bumped accidentally. I have ground a lot of pepper onto the shelf in my kitchen cupboard! My husband hates this mill, despite his love for pepper.
