Summary: You will never need to buy another pepper mill! 2010-06-20
Comment: After having to replace a number of broken pepper mills, I was determined to find one that worked well and would stand heavy use since we love fresh ground pepper.
This pepper mill is great. It is attractive and does a nice job of grinding the pepper. Although it is tall, it is solid brass and doesn't tip very easily. I like the cup on the bottom that you can use to grind enough pepper to measure and add to a recipe. The only upkeep it will need is probably a little polishing on occasion, since the brass is not "coated". I know it may cost a little more but it is worth it in the long haul.

Summary: Needed work 2010-06-12
Comment: Pros:
1. Heavy-duty;
2. Easy to grind peppercorns - good mechanical advantage from the crank;
3. The base doubles as a cup that catches stray pepper grindings and quantities if you need more than a little;
4. Holds a lot of peppercorns so it doesn't need refilling so often;
5. Very attractive finish.
Con:
This pepper mill needed some work to get it to function correctly. The unit I got was not adjustable for the size of grounds; it produced only a very fine grind. This was not because there was no adjustment, but a defect in manufacturing. The grinding teeth are on a cone that sits inside a tapered internal housing. This cone is supposed to be adjustable up and down inside its housing so you can set the size of grind you want: the further up, the finer the grind ... the lower, the coarser. But it would not budge inside its housing. I had to file the teeth and the cone to a smaller diameter to make it adjustable to get the size grounds I wanted.
When you pay over $60 for a pepper mill, you shouldn't have to modify it to get it to work correctly. Would have given it 5 stars otherwise.

Comment: This baby will grind out the pepper. It is actually the 2nd one I have had. The first was a 8" and someone needed it worse than I. These are great for grinding pepper any coarseness!
