The ability to adjust the grind is wonderful and performs well. The build quality is top notch.

I bought the Peugeot based on the recommendation of the New York Times, plus the caché of the Peugeot name. I’m very happy with the quality of the product, plus how it looks on my dining table. It’s guest worthy! I no longer keep a pepper shaker on the table. I’m never going to use a pepper shaker again! Freshly ground pepper is much better,

I originally ordered the salt and pepper grinder as a set, but the pictures did not match the model I was requested so I returned them and purchase salt and pepper grinders individually by model number. Then I did receive the correct product, but the Pepper grinder wood frame was cracked. Returned again and replace with another pepper grinder. Product is nice looking, grinds very well, with ability to adjust grind levels well. Quality of grind is also very good. Please with product after multiple returns

Had this pepper mill for about 3 months now. It’s in daily use and while we get through a lot of black pepper it doesn’t need refilling that often. The different grind fine-ness really works. However, if I’m making a big change in size, I’ll tip the thing upside down to get the pepper corns out of the metal grinders first.
A couple of other things to note. First: when it was very new, there was more friction than you’d expect between mill head and body but that eased up in time (helped with a wipe of olive oil). Second: the top screw tends to undo itself over time. When tightening it back on, it’s important that you don’t fasten it too tight otherwise
Overall though, it’s a great pepper mill. It’s got that ‘keeper’ vibe and feels dependable and versatile for cooking and table seasoning.

First of all, isn’t this a car brand? I don’t know why but all the pepper mills that my wife has ever gotten broke over time. She has only bought those clear acrylic ones from places like Target or Home Goods, never has she ever seeked out a pepper mill. So now I’m just browsing The New York Times and I get to the Wirecutter section, which for some reason now requires its own subscription plan now? I mean is it not enough that I already pay for The New York Times?, and I see that this has been their recommended mill for the past several years. Why is this such a difficult task? Why would one company make a crummier pepper mill than another one? How old is this technology? How is it possible that all these acrylic ones that my wife bought over the years, which she still has sitting in her cabinet, keep breaking? You turn the part you’re supposed to turn on these things and nothing comes out. It’s crazy! So I finally put my foot down and got this one, which I’m glad to have gotten.
I have never spent this much on a pepper mill and I have never really cared for fresh pepper. However, I do remember one time we went to a fancy steak house either Peter Luger or Keens in the city and they had this mill on the table. I remember feeling very impressed that there were these luxury pepper mills that existed. It’s a very nice mill. It feels like a luxury mill. It’s solid wood, it has got that nice paint finish and there’s a fancy logo on it. I just Googled Peugeot and either cars or pepper grinders show up. It turns out, according to Wikipedia, it’s a the same company. Anyway, so I order this thing and we finally get it in the mail and we mill some fresh pepper. My wife is mad that I spent so much on it. It does come loaded with peppercorns already by the way. I can’t tell the difference between fresh pepper from the tin of McCormick-brand pepper but this thing makes you feel fancy and The New York Times recommends it. I recommend that you get it. It’s pretty nice. Friends will be impressed if they see it at your house. It’ll say that you enjoy the finer things in life. If they ask about it, just pretend like its not big deal. Like, oh, this ole thing? But it is a big deal, because you’ve never spent this much on a pepper mill in your life, The New frickin’ York Times recommends it and you saw it one time at a fancy steak house in the city.
So I don’t know, just get it. Why not?

These have lasted years in great condition

Wow, this is it.
I’ve owned and used a number of pepper grinders over the years and they always seem to disappoint. Remember that one time in a nice Italian restaurant where you as you rotated the top it cracked satisfyingly and just kind of flowed out? This is that, but better.
Build quality looks and feels much better than any grinder I’ve owned in the past. Great feel as you rotate the top part, with a nice satisfying rumble almost as the grinder does its thing. The base rotates smoothly with a lot of adjustment to your grind size. I like a fairly course grind and this delivers no problem. It even comes with peppercorns inside. Couldn’t be happier honestly, what a great product and well worth the price imo.

We have used Peugeot pepper, and salt, mills for years and they give the best results in a durable, attractive package. The adjustable grind feature is the big winner.
Only downside is they ship in a plastic bag rather than a box and over the years the metal banding feature has been removed. But they still work as good as always regardless of the size that is chosen.

Bought it based on a review in the NYT claiming these grinders were the best in the world. Pepper grinder came with a big crack right through the Peugot logo. Sent it back and got another one. Works pretty well, but I’m not sure it is worth the hoopla. See my review for the salt grinder which is a little more mediocre (the grinder, not the review–I think).

Only used twice and already impressed. The aroma of the pepper is very noticeable. Good range from fine grain to coarse.
