Since 1842, Peugeot has been creating innovative and attractive mills. Peugeot now offers the U-Select patented grinding mechanism which has several pre-selectable grind adjustments.
Amazon.com Review
An exceptional gift for the salt or pepper connoisseur, Chateauneuf pepper and salt mills from Peugeot are traditionally styled of turned hardwood and handsomely accented with brushed, 18/10 stainless-steel bands. Also steel, the round ball nut on top of each mill unscrews the dome for filling with peppercorns and salt. Differing from other models, the Chateauneuf offers a U-Select feature, which designates six settings on the lower steel band of the pepper mill for precision grinding ranging from coarse to fine, and three settings on the salt mill. The other main difference between the salt and pepper mills lies in the grinding mechanism itself. 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.
Chateauneuf pepper and salt mills come in two sizes, 9 or 11-3/4 inches, and in several finishes, including matte black, matte red, and cherry. 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. Peugeot has been a leading manufacturer of pepper mills since the 1840s, and is a brand preferred by many restaurants and chefs. --Ann Bieri

This pepper mill has been the greatest pepper mill I have ever had. I have been through about 4 mills in the last several years and I finally found the one. I wish it would have been a little less in price but I actually think I would pay the same amount again.

Mt husband had purchased a pepper mill from a local discount store. It was hard for me to turn, so I did a bit of research and bought the Peugeot. I love it. It is very easy to turn and the adjustable grind comes in very handy. I didn't think I would use that feature, but I use it all the time. It is a bit tedious to fill, but I discovered if I put a funnel over the stem it is easy to fill the mill. I did cut the bottom of the funnel so it was just slightly smaller than the pepper mill opening. Love the pepper mill!
