PEUGEOT - Paris u'Select 18 cm Pepper Mill - 6 Predefined Grind Settings - Made with PEFC Certified Wood - Made in France - Natural Colour

I was reluctant to buy this pepper grinder because it is on the pricy side but I am so glad I did. I can’t say how brilliant it is! Firstly it looks beautiful and you can see in its design and the way it feels that it’s real quality. Secondly, it has 6 different settings to grind your pepper to varying coarseness which allows for more creativity in the kitchen. And thirdly, our previous pepper grinder used to leave little piles of half ground pepper wherever we placed it down, making a mess and wasting lots of pepper, with thus once there is no sign of this.

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.

Beautifully crafted and designed Pepper mill which is lovely to use. Well worth the money and grind selection perfect.

I love this! It is a bit pricey but I got it reduced which was acceptable. The brown wood is very good quality and the mechanism is metal (avoid plastic- it always breaks soon after purchasing!). I love the adjustable grind settings on the bottom.It is a joy to use (one turn gives a lot of pepper), very pretty design and not too big either which is great for me as I am moving around a lot.

Will produce way more pepper than most other gridners saves time and effort and great you can easily change size. Will not performance is starting to taper now after a year +

Looks good quality in the photos and just as good delivered. It's clearly built to last and worth paying extra.Of course I might be wrong, so I'll update here if it dies.

I think Peugeot grinders set the standard. A very respectable grinder

This was a great pepper mill until the base cracked after just over a year and a bit.Shame as liked.We look after things so it was not mishandled or dropped.Just out of warranty.Typical
