PeugeotOlivier Roellinger 5.25 Inch Pepper Mill, Chocolate, 9.5x11x13.5 cm (25601)

So me and my wife love pepper. Our old grinder broke, so it was time to replace. I really like the description and look of this grinder, and wore down my wife to get it. We were thinking of going with a more traditional mill, but we are really happy with this one.This mill really cranks out the pepper. A half turn gives enough pepper for most uses. With six or so turns the tray is full of pepper( 1tbs+ of pepper). One advantage of this has been with cooking. When you need to pepper crust a roast, it is a much quicker job. This grinder also is better for soups and stews. We can easily grind a bunch of pepper but we can also easily grind it away from steam. This allows us to keep the moisture out of the grinding mechanism.Also, unlike previous mills that are vertical column type, this doesn't mess up our counters. We used to always have pepper on the counter where we sat the old pepper mill. With the tray on the Peugeot we finally have pepper free counters.We really like the grind settings, nice and coarse. It is adjustable so you can make it as thin or thick as you like. This unit locks the grind setting in, so it hasn't varied. We have set it to coarse and it has stayed that was since we got it. Our old mill always changed depending on how tight you screwed on the lid, so it would be thin powder pepper, then coarse pepper, and then the lid would fall off because it wouldn't go coarse enough and we would unscrew the lid on accident. This one is much more enjoyable.filling this unit is very easy due to the large chrome opening. It is the easiest filling pepper grinder we have ever had. No more funnels, just pour it in. Thank goodness to because it really goes through the pepper and we refill it a lot.I don't think hand holding this grinder over a plate of lets say salad is as easy as a more traditional grinder. You can take the drawer out and directly grind onto food, but the square shape necessitates large hands to do so. This may not be the right unit for salad lovers. The drawer makes it easy to get pinches of pepper or fill up a small dish and pass around the table for this purpose though.All in all, we have no regrets with this mill.

I purchased this for $80. The mill is smaller than advertised, as another reviewer has noted. I like the size, however. My wife had her doubts when I ordered it, but she loved it at first sight. It does a fantastic job of grinding pepper and produces an amazing quantity of pepper per rotation of the handle. The grind is insanely consistent and easily adjustable. The mill is the perfect size to place on the dinner table and will look gorgeous there. Right now, however, my wife is basically sleeping with it like a teddy bear. It's that damn cute.While the reservoir which holds peppercorns and the reservoir in the drawer for the ground pepper could both stand to be enlarged, they are not unreasonably small. One reviewer has stated that it only holds one tablespoons of peppercorns. This is false. It holds more than that. The same reviewer stated that it only holds one teaspoon of ground pepper. This is also false. It holds much more than that. If I ever feel the need, and I doubt I will, I will simply expand the size of the reservoir for ground pepper myself.My wife and I are both the kind of people who unscrew pepper shakers to pour the pepper on our food. It is almost certain that I use more pepper than you, and I anticipate zero problems obtaining all the pepper I want from this thing. I will have to fill the reservoir that holds peppercorns more often than with other mills, but this is not the end of the world.The grinding mechanism has a lifetime warranty on it, and inspection of the mechanism certainly suggests that it is incredibly well-built. The cube itself is rock solid. I really do expect this mill to last a lifetime. Two reviewers have complained that the little knob which opens the compartment to put pepper in broke off. I can certainly see this happening, but it will be a trivial to fix it if and when it does. If you aren't mechanically inclined, the repair would run you a whopping $5 if you have no mechanically inclined friends and had to pay a professional to do it.

This pepper grinder is really a nice addition to a kitchen. You can even adjust it for the size you are grinding..like fine - coarse. A bit pricey $, but it is made of wood. Very nice product. I really do like it. Do buy if your looking for a nice pepper grinder like this. It has a drawer with the pepper in it after grinding. I am sure you will like it. 👍🙂👍 I Love pepper in my food cooking.PS.. I buy many items thru the save a product life program thru Amazon and have never had problem in doing so... Maybe once and Amazon took care of the issue very well and fast too.👍🙂 it is a great program :).
