” Advantage of Freshly Ground Spices There are many benefits to freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs and spices for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of that spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than pre- ground. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides for determining the coarseness (size) of a grind. A high quality pepper, salt or spice mill gives you the ability to choose and change the coarseness according to taste or necessity. How to Choose a Good Mill When looking for a pepper, salt or spice grinder, consider the following: Grinding mechanism: Choose a grinding mechanism that can withstand daily use: one that is well made and produces a consistent grind. Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be designed to handle a specific spice, as each spice has different physical characteristics that will benefit from different design features. Design and appearance: Whether it’s traditional or modern, manual or electric, a mill can be an indispensable tool in your kitchen and a beautiful part of table decor. Ease of Use: A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and feel comfortable in the hand. History of Peugeot Peugeot’s story starts in the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the family’s gristmill into a steel foundry. They began producing award winning hand tools immediately after opening and went on to produce a diverse range of exceptional quality products including small appliances, bicycles and most notably, automobiles. (Although now operating as a separate company, the Peugeot car company continues the same commitment to quality and innovation that is a Peugeot hallmark). In 1840 Peugeot created their burr style coffee grinder and adopted that design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper mechanism design is still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill. Peugeot’s iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is often copied, but never equaled. Today, Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms plus the original burr-style coffee grinder. There are no shortcuts: each mechanism is designed to get the most out of the spices they are intended for. After more than 160 years, Peugeot mills and grinders remain the benchmark of the industry and have earned their position as the mill of choice in world class kitchens. It’s All About the Mechanism The primary difference between Peugeot and all other brands are the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has 7 unique spice specific mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers and nutmeg. For each spice, there is one – and only one – Peugeot grinding mechanism, each made of the ideal design and constructed from the best material available for its intended use. All Peugeot mechanisms are made in France and carry a lifetime limited warranty. Peugeot’s Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two stage burr-style system. During production, the helix-shaped grooves and grinding teeth of the pepper mechanism are individually cut before the steel is case hardened to make it virtually indestructible. The mechanism is then given a proprietary treatment to provide additional protection against corrosion. During use, the helix- shaped grooves guide whole peppercorns through the mechanism to crack, then grind to a consistent size by a double row of teeth. This process releases the pepper’s essential oils, resulting in more flavor and aroma for your dish. This patented mechanism is found on every Peugeot Pepper mill and is widely considered the best pepper mechanism available Peugeot’s Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates which work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size. The salt grinding mechanism is made of corrosion resistant Stainless Steel, and is found on every Peugeot Salt Mill. Peugeot’s Spice Mechanism is made of ceramic, and is specially designed to grind dried spices and flat leafy herbs to release their essential oils. It is particularly effective with dried aromatic herbs such as thyme, parsley, basil, oregano, and herbs de Provence, as well as dried seeds such as cumin. Peugeot’s Chili Pepper Mechanism is made of case hardened steel for optimal hardness and resilience. This patented mechanism features a pre-cutting system and dual chamber reservoir. For use with dry, hot chilis such as birds tongue, African devils and Piri Piri. The Nutmeg Shaving Mechanism is made of treated stainless steel which is corrosion resistant, and offers superior edge retention. The Peugeot nutmeg shaver is equipped with a double stainless steel grater blade and a strong claw which enables the whole nutmeg to be very finely shaved, while keeping fingers safe. Intended for use with whole nutmeg nuts. Peugeot’s Wet Salt mechanism has been specially designed for wet sea salt: a spiral guides the salt, ensuring that it does not stick together. The mechanism is made of ceramic because wet salt crystals are soft (wear is not an issue) but corrosive. Intended for use with damp sea salts such as Sel de Guerande. The Coffee Grinding Mechanism found in all Peugeot coffee mills is the foundation of Peugeot’s grinding legacy. The case-hardened steel mechanism efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to the desired consistency:from espresso fine to coffee- press coarse. Peugeot Manual Mills For best results, hold mill and turn mill top in a clockwise direction only To adjust the Grind on manual mills not equipped with u’Select, turn the adjustment nut located on the top of the mill. – clockwise to obtain a finer grind – counter-clockwise to obtain a coarser grind.

Mechanically and Esthetically Pleasing Product
It is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s a French made marvel. Depending on the type of roast, light or dark, and the number of cups desired, you give your arms a solid workout. The coarseness is adjustable but not marked so you will need to do a bit of experimenting. A full grinder yields a cup of dripped coffee or 2-4 espresso shots. The grinder is well put together and after a year of heavy daily use, it shows no signs of wear or tear. Even though our ambient humidity is above average, the stainless steel is still immaculate. The cost is more than comparable to what specialized shops offer, but the quality is better. We would definitely recommend a purchase of one.

The PERFECT cup of coffee!
I have been grinding up my Sumatra beans for the past 20+ years (thank you, Peets!!) with the same little electric grinder and have been very content. THEN, I read about the wonders of hand grinding and considered that there may be something to these claims. But in all honesty, I bought this Peugeot grinder because it reminded me of one my grandmother used to have in her kitchen. So, I dutifully used my new grinder and was skeptical until I took my first sip – I didn’t need a side-by-side taste comparison, that was one of the smoothest cups of coffee I’ve ever tasted. The difference was startling! I felt like I was finally tasting the fully measure of what Sumatra beans are supposed to be. I’ve been using my Peugeot grinder for about a month now, it is so worth the extra 3 minutes it takes to grind my beans. I have retired my trusty little electric grinder (I’m actually pretty amazed that this little machine has lasted all these years). I love my Peugeot grinder so much that I bought my brother one for Christmas!

Quality, sturdy mill
This is my first manual coffee mill. I purchased this one over a $20.00 burr mill due to a need for long-lasting quality, and upon receiving it, I feel that I will not be disappointed. The grinding action is smooth and I very much enjoy getting to crank it. The adjustment knob for the type of grind is easy enough to use, but will require a basic level of dexterity to do so – if you struggle with using your hands due to any disorder or whatnot, then you may need a different coffee grinder that accommodates for that.It can be slightly hard to clean, and I have a special brush to do so – some powder collects at the bottom of the grinding mechanism and I need to wipe it off with a fine brush after every use. Also, a very small portion of the powder somehow ends up at the base of the coffee mill, not in the draw, but it’s not that big of an inconvenience. The knob of the draw is secured by a small hex screw, and my only fear with the set is that one day it may start to get loose.Overall, it gets 5 stars for the aesthetics of the set. It has a beautiful uniform finish and it is indeed made out of real wood. The metal has a beautiful chrome look to it that provides a great contrast to the wood. The set has great quality to it as well, and it certainly will provide many years of grinding.
My two cents –
Looks great and works well
Love this Nostalgie grinder. This is my first grinder and I knew I wanted a hand grinder. This has held up very well over the past two years. You’ll inevitably get errant grounds that fall one the edge of the collection tray but I use a teaspoon to scoop the ground coffee into my filter. I also have a brush that helps clean the tray. If you’re looking for a hand grinder, I strongly suggest this one – it looks like a classic!

Big-Disappointment Do Not Use for Grinding Coffee
I just purchased this thinking I could use this for Coffee Grinding..WRONG…The first thing I noticed was that the Walnut Stain in the coffee collection box was not set properly…The stain was coming off the wood on to my hands and also on my wooden utensils…I did not want stain as an extra ingredient on my coffee beans….So I did NOT use the wooden collection box..set it aside..So I used a small paper plate that fit in its place…NEXT – I tried grinding a few beans…The grinder mechanism is POORLY made…It could NOT grind my beans…The grinder slots were to small to accept the beans(Normal size)…The beans had to be broken into smaller pieces by me(I used a hammer at this stage) before it would accept them into the grinder mechanism…NEXT – After adding smaller bean pieces into the grinder mechanism…Ittook several minutes to grind enough coffee for one-cup at best…It took me 30-minutes to grind enough coffee for four-cups..CONCLUSION – DO NOT BUY THIS FOR COFFEE GRINDING…ONLY Buy this for itsNostalgia Look…BUT I cannot recommend it due to poor workmanship and quality..NOT Worth the price I paid..IF I had the Shipping Box that it came in, I would return it to Amazon for my Money back..I still may try to do this..Roy in Miami..

Great grinder, but with a flaw
First of all, let me just say that this thing is a great grinder. I graduated from the built-in blade grinder in my Melita drip coffee machine, and the increase in quality was a revelation. The grind is uniform, it can be adjusted, and the results taste great.HOWEVER. I’m not sure if this is a flaw with my particular model or if no one else has thought it worth mentioning, but this grinder produces something else while grinding – something that I really don’t want in my coffee: METAL DUST.I think it’s coming from a washer that rubs against the top of the dome while the handle is being cranked, and while the seal in the dome is FAIRLY tight, I wouldn’t be surprised if some dust slipped through the crack. It’s not an insignificant amount, either – wiping off the top of the dome after one use turns most of my thumb grey with metal dust.I don’t think the dust can get through the paper filter I use in my Aeropress, but still – it’s either a design flaw or a poor choice of materials on Peugot’s part.

Très bien esthétiquement, très pratique moue le café a la perfection grains bien moulu et arôme du café gardé.Très bon produit , à conseiller
“ylfylf” –
Retour de lâantan !Parfaite conception, réalisation, construction, finition. Vraiment bien.Seul ennui, le café moulu nâest pas guidé dans le tiroir et se répand dans tout le corps du moulin. Jâai vu une critique parlant que la trémie et la meule sont trop hautes et trop éloignées du tiroir, câest vrai⦠je conçois une petite pièce supplémentaire pour entourer la meule et rapporter presque à la hauteur du tiroir afin que la mouture y tombe sans se répandre partout (câest un drôle de jeu de la récupérer !)Le prix est quand même élevé !

Madam Mim –
Ich habe mich als notorische Teetrinkerin mit nur seltenem Konsum von Quetschkaffee mit aufgeschäumter Milch nach langem Zögern und Ãberlegen, ob sich die Investition überhaupt lohnt, für eine manuelle Kaffeemühle entschieden, weil beim Kaffeetrinken nur der gelegentliche Genuà im Vordergrund steht – würde ich Kaffee so weglitern wie meinen Tee, hätte ich mich für eine elektrische Mühle entschieden. Aber für meine paar Tassen im Jahr wollte ich nicht noch eine häÃliche Maschine mit Strippe bunkern.Es sollte aufgrund der vielen negativen Rezensionen für den deutschen Hersteller Z….. eine Peugeot sein. Schwer war auch die Entscheidung ob offener oder geschlossener Trichter, der Preisunterschied beträgt immerhin fast 30,– EUR.Samstag war sie da.Optischer Eindruck: Hübsch, handwerklich sauber verarbeitet. Ich habe sie im Wohnzimmer in der Vitrine, so habe ich für den Preis noch einen Mehrwert, sie sieht gut aus, und im Schrank duftet es nach Kaffee.Material: glattes Buchenholz. Als einziges Modell ist sie nicht lackiert, sondern dunkel gebeizt, die Schublade ist innen hell und unbehandelt. Vorteil: ich werde mich niemals über alternde, rissige und abplatzende Lacke ärgern müssen, denn bei einer Garantie und mindest Lebensdauer von 25 Jahren wäre sonst genau das zu erwarten. Vorteil: das Holz ist noch offen und kann geölt und gepflegt werden, durch die dunkle Beize bleiben Fingerspuren unsichtbar. Nach meiner Ansicht die richtige Wahl.Das Ãlen habe ich gleich probiert, denn auch meine Maschine quiekte beim Kurbeln, genau wie in einigen Rezensionen beschrieben. Die Ursache ist eine Kleinigkeit, die in der Natur der Sache liegt: Am Ende der Kurbel ist eine sich drehende Holzkuller, um besser kurbeln zu können: Kuller – Drehen – Reibung – Quieken….. ich habe einen kräftigen Schluck Olivenöl von oben über die Kuller gekippt, es läuft genug zwischen Bohrung und Schraube, Schluss mit Quieken, und mit dem Ãberschuss habe ich gleich das Holz geölt….Handhabung:Ich habe das Mahlwerk mit Reiskörnern probegemahlen. Damit habe ich alle Produktionsrückstände wie Staub und Ãl entfernt.Hält man die Mühle beim Befüllen schräg, passen 3 gehäufte Esslöffel Bohnen hinein. Daraus erhält man gut 5 Masslöffel Kaffeepulver. Dafür muà man kräftig die Kurbel drehen, es dauert eine Weile, bis die 3 Esslöffel gemahlen sind. Dafür bekommt man aber auch kaltgemahlenes, intensiv duftendes Kaffeepulver, und bereits beim Mahlen verbreitet sich dieser Duft, und die Vorfreude wächst. Für eine groÃe Kaffeerunde würde ich es einfach so wie meine Oma halten: alle reihum die Kurbel drehen lassen, das bringt Schwung in die Meute :-). Der Kraftaufwand ist erforderlich, aber angemessen, und irgendwie nostalgisch und so schön retro. Endlich wieder etwas ohne Strippe, Software, Schnittstellen, Wlan…. Ich kann kurbeln, ohne das jemand mein Kaffeeverhalten speichert……Wenn man der Neugier nachgibt und beim Mahlen die Trichterabdeckung öffnet, weià man sofort, daà sich die Mehrausgabe gelohnt hat, die Bohnenstückchen hopsen wie Flöhe aus der Ãffnung…. Also wieder richtig entschieden. Ich habe gelesen, daà sich einige mit selbstgebastelten Abdeckung behelfen, aber ehrlich: wenn ich 90 EUR für eine manuelle Kaffeemühle mit offenem Trichter hingeblättert habe, dann will ich mir das nicht durch selbstgebastelte Abdeckungen aus Alufolie oder Salatdeckeln verschandeln :-)Mahlgradverstellung: Habe ich nicht ausprobiert, ich bin mit der mittelgroben Einstellung ab Werk zufrieden, das Mahlgut ist minimal gröber als der gemahlene “Himmlische” von Mövenpick, aber mit dem Vorteil, daà hier kaum Staub anfällt, welcher sonst in der Quetschkanne schwebt und den Milchschaum versaut. Ich hatte ein sehr appetitliches Ergebnis mit schönem weiÃem Milchschaum und wenig Matsch am Tassenboden.Ergebnis: alles gut, und für mich von den Peugeot Modellen die beste Mühle
