Peugeot PM22648 Hostellerie 8.75 Inch Pepper Mill, Chocolate

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. Made of French beech wood and turned to a slender, elegant curve. 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 legendary pepper grinding mechanism. Made of case-hardened steel, it has received additional treatment against wear and corrosion. Its double-row of helix-shaped claws grab and crack each peppercorn, before drawing it down to the teeth for the perfect grind. Mill is 8-3/4-inches tall with a chocolate brown varnished finish.

Perfect pepper grinder, July 12, 2011

This pepper mill / grinder is exactly right. Good pepper grinding action. Style is perfect: simple, classic, refined. So many pepper mills are trying to look "modern", or they're too short and squat, or they're too elaborate and froofy. This pepper grinder is for people with serious taste in both food and style.
