Amazon.com Review

Nancy pepper and salt mills from Peugeot are formed in a traditional turned styling but with a modern twist-they're made from clear acrylic. As a result, one can quickly view the contents and choose the salt or pepper. The difference between the two mills lies in the grinding mechanism. Peugeot pepper mills use case-hardened-steel grinding heads with two sizes of grooves; the larger grooves crack the peppercorns in half and direct them into the smaller grooves, which grind them much more finely than most mills. The grinding mechanism in Peugeot salt mills is purposefully constructed with 18/10 stainless-steel, which won't corrode from prolonged contact with the salt. The top of each mill unscrews for adding peppercorns and salt, while the round ball nut can be loosened or tightened to vary the coarseness of the grind.

Nancy pepper and salt mills, available in a range of sizes, make exceptional gifts individually or as a set. Peugeot has been a leading manufacturer of pepper mills since the 1840s, and is a brand preferred by many restaurants and chefs. Care for a mill is easy: clean the exterior and inner chamber with a damp cloth; never immerse in water; avoid putting salt in the pepper mill, or grinding green or pink peppercorns by themselves (mixed with black is fine); and avoid damp types of salt (usually pink or gray) in the regular salt mill. Made in France, Peugeot mills are covered by a two-year replacement policy, while the grinding mechanism is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Peugeot PM14018 Nancy 7 Inch Salt Mill, Acrylic (Kitchen)
This item seems to work with the salt that comes in it - it isn't very coarse. But, as mentioned by another reviewer (that I should have read first!) it doesn't work on Pink Himalyan. The product directions packed with the product, but not mentioned online, list a lot of things including Pink salt that it should not be used with.

The quality doesn't seem to me to be as advertised because there is very little selection possible on the fineness of the salt when grinding it - even with the salt that accompanied the unit. It will not grind as coarsely as common table sale, for example. Virtually no adjustment to the coarseness of the grind.

For me, this item proved to be useless. If you get it - be certain to use nothing larger than a medium sized salt in it - coarse just won't work.

This mill is made in France and very well made. Actually we own a pepper mill from the same manufacturer - Peugeot. Yes, the design is old but it works. Many here seem to complain the design, but in years of using the pepper mill, which is the same as this one, we got no complaints. Looks beautiful and always works. The control is simple yet functional and the materials used are top quality. Yes, there are lots of cuter ones but most of them are made in China and low quality materials. For health reasons, we try to avoid any items that come from third World places.

Once again they produce a good solid product and it does what it should and searching online you can find a bargain as in stores these products can be pricey.
