Peugeot Paris Classic Pepper Mill - Chocolate - 7 Inch

Amazon.com Review

Pepper is universal. One of the civilization's oldest spices (along with its partner salt), it graces tables all over the world. When in a country where I don't speak the language and my soup needs a little pick-me-up, I just mime grinding pepper over it, and the waiter knows what I need. This wooden pepper grinder from Peugeot comes in a classic style, reminiscent of a rook from a chess set. To fill, unscrew the knob on top, remove the upper section, and pour in the peppercorns. How tightly the knob is screwed back on determines the grind. For a little variety, try a mix of black, green, and white peppercorns. Be sure to also check out the matching salt grinder. --Dana Van Nest

It seems that every time I grind pepper, the screw on top that you are supposed to adjust the coarseness with comes unscrewed. At first, I thought it was a defect, but I also got a salt grinder of the same kind, and it does the same thing, albeit to a lesser degree.
Looks good, works, but is annoying as you have to keep readjusting the screw every 3-4 turns. Not something I expected from such an expensive and talked about product.

We've had this exact Peugeot 7" Pepper Grinder for 28 years.

We bought it because my Mother In-Law had been using hers

for about 30 years (which was 28 years ago, and shes 84 and still

uses it). This Pepper Grinder is used daily, works excellent,

never failed. I'm buying one for my daughter for Christmas

and I know she'll have it long after I'm gone.

We have been using this mill for about 4 months, and it looks great on the table, but that's about it. It will grind pepper, but adjusting it is very hit-and-miss (mostly miss), and it won't hold an adjustment very well. On a fine setting, it works OK, but it is nearly impossible to get a coarse grind out of it - it seems to go from fine to medium, and then to too open to grind at all. We got better results out of a 20-year old no-name pepper mill. I would not buy this mill again.
