PEUGEOTSaveurs d'Epices Paris U'Select Salt Mill, Wood, White Lacquer, 5.70 x 5.70 x 18.00 cm

Really happy with this - feels solid and quality of manufacture is great. The adjuster at the bottom is really convenient, effective for different grind sizes and is easy to use. I wish I’d upgraded my pepper years ago.

After several pepper mills that failed, this one is a joy. Different grades of pepper grounds, does not jam up, does what a pepper mill should do.

Pepper mills need to be tough. They need steel burrs to grind black peppercorns - and the central shaft needs to me made of steel too, otherwise after a year or so, they become rounded and stop working. Wasted a lot of money on them.This Peugeot mill costs a fraction more but actually is fit for purpose.

I'd bought so many pepper mill/grinders over the years and had been so disappointed with so many. I decided to pay a bit more for this one after reading the reviews. Very happy, it is real value for money!

Although Peugeot are now known for their cars and bicycles, historically they were a general engineering company and they came up with the design for the original pepper mill, made famous by Italian restaurants around the world. Most of the ones you can buy are based on the Peugeot design, but aren't as well-made as the originals.Salt mills have to be a bit different from pepper mills as salt grains have a different size and textrue from peppercorns, and are also corrosive.The bottom of this one rotates to adjust the fineness of the ground salt. Unlike most mills it doesn't leave behind a little pile of salt on the table where it has been standing. It is definitely the best one I have used, and the same goes for the matching pepper mill. Although it is a bit expensive, you get what you pay for and I therefore feel it is good value.

Actually a pepper grinder that grinds pepper without falling apart. Great quality and worth the price - if you like freshly ground pepper, that is!

This thing is well made, has 5 simple grinding levels and is very sturdy. You simply won't find better at this price point. Don't procrastinate, buy it!

After years of buying medium-priced mills, I decided to pay a bit more and get a decent one. After much research on the internet, it seemed that the Peugeot were one of the best and most highly rated. Yes I thought they only made cars too!On first appearance the mill seems very high quality, it is heavier than the standard wood or clear plastic ones. The black shiny finish looks really classy too.The major difference I can see is that the grinder mechanism on the bottom is metal instead of the plastic ones which gradually decline in their efficiency so that you are continually trying to adjust the coarseness of the grind with the ball on the top.The coarseness is adjusted by twisting the base to 6 presets. Once set you shouldn't have to change it unless you want to adjust the coarseness.To fill, simply undo the metal ball on the top and fill, replace ball, done.It is impossible to give an accurate long-term review due to the fact that all mills start off working fine, it is after continual use that their performance declines. I am hoping that this one will not, after all Peugeot give a lifetime warranty on the grinder mechanism.I will probably buy the salt mill to match as they will look great on the dinner table.
