Product Review
PEUGEOT: France, since 1810. Peugeot mills are renowned by chefs and gourmet cooks the word over for the consistent grind results they produce, their incredible resilience and proven reliability. Compromise is not a word that fits into the Peugeot vocabulary. For each spice, there is one - and only one - Peugeot grinding mechanism: peppercorns; coarse dry salt; chilies; herbs and spices; wet salts; and nutmeg. Add the coffee mechanism, which started it all, and there are seven unique Peugeot mechanisms. Each is designed to derive the most flavor and greatest aroma from its complementary spice. Aesthetically pleasing, Peugeot mills deliver the height of quality, durability, reliability and innovation; making these mills the ones to which all others are compared. Evoking the feel of a classic Parisian eatery, Bistro adds a subtle touch of elegance to your table top. This traditional mill is made of select French beech wood, inspired by one of Peugeot's earliest mill shapes. The grind is adjusted by turning the top nut: turn it clockwise (tighten) for a finer grind; counter-clockwise (loosen) for a coarser grind. This mill is equipped with Peugeot's exceptional salt grinding mechanism: it is unlike anything else on the market. Its two ribbed plates are made from a stainless steel blend that offers resiliency, rigidity and resistance to corrosion from dry salts. When the mechanism is activated, the ribs work to twist and fracture each salt crystal to the desired size. Mill is 4-inch tall.

Grinds well, top knob doesn't stay put, August 23, 2007

This review is from: Peugeot PM12960 Bistro 4 Inch Salt Mill, Natural (Kitchen)
This mill grinds salt well, generates a good consistency. But the top knob tends to come unscrewed a bit everytime you use it, so you have to reseat it regularly. Somewhat annoying but not the end of the world.
