Pepper Mill, u'Select, Wood, Chocolate Finish, 22 cm - 9 in

Total quality. Luxury feel and weight. Black looks rich - goes with any decor. Adjustment from coarse to... much finer than I would ever use. When you twist the bottom-most section of the mill to adjust the grind, you can easily feel where the mechanism noticeably starts to tighten. Stop tightening at this initial resistance, (3rd finest setting, with 2 more finer than that) and this classic-looking Peugeot mill produces a shower of cracked black that's perfect... not too heavy per twist. I don't cook anything that needs a crazy amount of black pepper so I don't want to be super careful about accidentally adding too much. I have a spice rack where I kept my last, cheap all-in-1 peppercorn "plastic grinder/container". The space in my rack is a little tight, and I was happy to see this 'real' mill fits neatly in the space where the plastic one was. Filling it is a breeze. It takes somewhat less than a full spice bottle of whole peppercorns. I am far more partial to lemon pepper than straight cracked black, and so my next mission is to find the correct mix of orange peel and peppercorns, so I can use this mill daily to grind lemon pepper in my salads, vegetables, etc. I actually don't use black pepper all that much. Eggs is one of the only dishes where I DON'T use lemon pepper. The directions are printed on a small, micro-mini booklet insert that you might need some serious magnification to actually read. One notable instruction is not to use it to grind anything but pepper. Peugeot offers a lifetime warranty on the actual mechanism. The only con (not really) for me is, I had to get used to the fact that you cannot grab the very bottom of the mill when you twist to grind. The bottom ring is how you adjust your grind, so you need to hold the mill anywhere above the lowest 'ring'. Otherwise when you twist to grind, it changes the adjustment. But unless you have sirius memory issues, you learn that after the 1st or 2nd time you use it.

I've been limping along with two pepper grinders gifted to us many years ago. The tall dark one we've used for black pepper and the shorter "beigier" colored one for white pepper. The grind of the tall one can only be adjusted by tightening or loosening the nut on top which also secures the grinder's top. The more you grind, the tighter the nut gets and the finer the grind. The shorter grinder has a chrome collar just below the top with F, M and C settings which work okay, but I end up inadvertently turning the collar as I grind, thus changing the fineness of the grind. And the varnish on the outside of the shorter grinder has aged so that it is now sticky to the touch. Hmph. So, I decided to splurge and get one each of the chocolate brown and natural wood colored Peugeot grinders for black and white pepper respectively. Good choice. Love them. They grind both types of pepper very easily, thank you, the mechanism works flawlessly and they look very handsome on the counter by the stove top. Adjusting grind fineness or coarseness is accomplished by turning a wooden collar at the base of each grinder to the desired setting designated by tiny vertical markings from I to IIII. You have to experiment to figure out if I is coarse or fine, but it's figure-out-able and I won't spoil if for you. I suspect too that the markings will wear away over time thus only increasing the Gallic fun. I had a friend who owned a Peugeot 304 back in the 1970s and the car had similar little idiosyncrasies. Like the ashtray with 14 moving parts. Anyhow, I love the grinders, I use them daily, they feel good to the touch AND the vendor that sells the chocolate colored one, the actual subject of this review, provides a WARRANTY for American buyers that does not require you to try to communicate with les braves gens de Peugeot. Bravo!

Great, well built product. The 9 inch model holds approximately 3.5 tablespoons, or 33 grams, of black peppercorn.

Great quality. Dropped my first purchase and it split so immediately bought another as I love the look and quality. Ability to change the coarseness of the pepper being ground is fantastic.

I’d known about Peugeot mills for a while, but finally decided to buy one after using a friend’s (getting it on sale was a nice bonus). The difference between this and any disposable grinder I’ve used is night and day. This just feels like a quality, well-built product. It works flawlessly, assuming you use decent peppercorns. Adjustable grind settings are consistent. Very happy with it.

I bought this "lifetime guarantee" pepper grinder in November 2025. It stopped working on April 7, 2026. (The internal grinding gears are apparently failing to connect--twisting the top just produces silent twirling. No grinding noises, no pepper coming out. Adding more peppercorns doesn't help. Emptying it out and then re-adding peppercorns doesn't work, either.) I wrote the vendor, and got a "your issue has been closed" email a few days later. No apology, no offer to replace the nonfunctional device, not even any advice on how I might repair it myself. I'm totally disgusted. Back to buying supermarket McCormick pepper grinders--at least they don't cost a fortune, and work until they're empty.

What an amazing project, this thing is a pepper grinding MONSTER! And it is very adjustable, the quality is built to last a lifetime. The only reason a gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that the top screws come loose as you twist out the pepper over time “ honestly not a big deal, but you do have to periodically adjust that knob” I like the product so much that I purchased another one for a family member as a gift. This product will consistently give you pepper flakes from very, very small to big chunks depend depending on what you want

MY wife and I, over the years, have tried many different pepper grinders and they all had one thing in common. They were all Chinese made crap with plastic grinder mechanism. Every one was junk. We finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on a Peugeot. OMG. Should have done this years ago. The fine setting is like dust and the course setting just that, course. The grinder is all steel and works like a dream. I highly recommend this item. We’re buying the salt grinder next.

30年程前にパリで同じPEUGEOTの 胡椒挽きを購入し、ほぼ毎日使用 (白木の物で、これより少し小さい) とうとう壊れてしまったので 色々探してみたが やはり、ここに行き着き 今回は ①油汚れが目立ちにくい色で ②粗さの調節が簡単 ③本体が木製 を、絶対条件に 挽く時に 男性の手でも使いやすい ある程度の大きさを考え この大きさをチョイス 30年ぶりの新品というのも あるだろうが それにしても、とても挽き易い そして 挽いた胡椒が、なんとも香り高く とても美味しい❗ PEUGEOTは、挽きの粗さ調節を トップの金属部分で行う物も ある(前回のはそう) これは ボトム部分で調節する物で 写真２枚目の 縦線が、多い程、荒く 縦線が、少ない程、細かい そして、回す度に心地よい振動が 手に伝わり、もはや快感と 言っても良い程だ 実は、30年前に サイズのかなり小さいのも２つ 同じPEUGEOTで購入しており 白胡椒と、ピンク胡椒で 使用中だが ボディを持った時に 挽きにくい感覚が毎回ある 今回の大きさの比較に ２リットルのペットボトルと 並べたのを３枚目に添付したが 何より持ちやすく 重さがあるのが逆に手にしっくり 収まるイメージ 他にも 本体が、アクリルで造られたのも 持っているが 挽く度に、キュルキュルとした 摩擦が、気になってしまう また、歯が、塩用以外は PEUGEOTは、それがウリの 鉄整であるのだが セラミックの歯の物と比べて 自分は、鉄の方がしっかりと 胡椒が割れる感じがする セラミックの歯の方が 少し柔らかな香りになり 鉄の歯の方が 香ばしさが立つように感じるので これからもずっと PEUGEOT一択だ

Good heft, smooth motion, great control over granularity.

Super Calidad!

Es un pimentero de lujo. La artesanía tampoco es tanta ya que no está hecho a mano o Parece que no lo está. Pero no sé si está hecho a mano no. Lo que sí está claro nada más cogerlo es que es un pimentero de lujo, de alta gama. Muy exclusivo. La relación calidad precio no es muy buena porque es muy caro. Es un simple pimentero y el precio es bastante alto.
