A STELLAR Product From A Reputable Company - PEUGEOT!,

This review is from: Peugeot PM17156 Fidji 8.25 Inch Pepper Mill, Black Matte (Kitchen)
Peugeot has been making pepper mills since 1842, I think they know of where they speak. I know that this is an expensive pepper mill, but it is WELL WORTH it's price. Very well made and sturdy, this selection, the Peugeot Fidji 8-inch peppermill brings true fashion and sleek looks to any dining room or kitschy kitchen table. This mill has a black-colored hardwood base and a stainless-steel dome that proudly bears the Peugeot mark. The mill's channeling grooves line up those fussy little peppercorns in exact precision with the grinding grooves, thusly cracking the corns in half before the actual fine grinding process.
Adjustable grinding from the top of the mill is easy to use and makes the pepper either beach sand fine or coarsely ground like coffee. All according to your taste buds!I have purchased two cheaper pepper mills in the $15 to $25 range in the past 10 years and they lasted approximately 2 to 3 years. Don't waste your money on an inexpensive mill. You get what...Read more

Good Product.,

Clean lines. Attractive in kitchen or dining room. Perfect size, some grinders are way too bulky/clunky for table use. Holds a fair amount of peppercorns. Only drawback is if you need a coarse grind, you have to adjust the nut almost to the point where the top is coming off. At that point the grinding action becomes so loose that pepper kind of "sprays" around your target rather than on it. A great product for super-fine to medium grinds. I like most of my pepper ground coarsely, so overall, this is merely a good product.

Looks good, works poorly.,

The fineness-coarseness of the grind cannot be adjusted except by tightening it down. I gets very tight, but tends to loosen up with each grind until you notice large chunks of peppercorn in your food. Unless it's screwed down so tight that you cannot grind at all, it leaves quite a pool of peppercorns on the table. Pretty clumsily made, I think.
