Peugeot Mills, a combination of design and ingenuity. Since 1840, Peugeot Mills have been an essential benchmark for gourmets and great chefs alike. They are exceptional pieces that have become tableware icons, from coffee mills to salt, pepper or spice grinders, manual or electric. Peugeot Mills are a pleasure to use with their sleek and elegant design, their noble indestructible materials, their range of shapes and colors and their ever-more-innovative mechanisms, with a lifetime guarantee. A wide range of Peugeot Mills so you can get the best from each product. All our mills are instruments of taste designed with a single goal: to extract the most perfect texture, grind and flavor possible, in the search for a delicious sensory experience. An aromatic journey through the world of the senses, an invitation to culinary excellence with a decidedly modern and contemporary approach, reflecting the perception of what is the French art of living today.
ICONIC PEPPER MILL — The chocolate-colored Paris manual pepper mill enhances the flavors of the meals that you create. Precise and even grinding are the key words for this emblematic mill by Peugeot. Engineered and manufactured in France
ADJUSTABLE KNOB — The grind control knob on the head of the mill can be twisted to create your precise balance of flavor. Adjust to obtain the preferred grind size. The tighter the knob, the finer the grind. The two-stage grinding mechanism first effortlessly cracks and then grinds the peppercorns to the desired coarseness
PRECISION GRIND — Through two centuries of experience, we have expertly engineered each pepper mill and mechanism specifically for the consistency and shape of peppercorns. We make the gear mechanism from case hardened steel that is treated to prevent corrosion and rust
ENHANCE FLAVOR — Bring out all the aromatic depth of peppers by manually adjusting the grind to your taste. Very finely ground pepper will bring out its spice, while a coarser grind will highlight its aromas and flavor. Find your Peugeot moment and enjoy the art of French living with our instruments of taste
CRAFTED BEECHWOOD — All our mills are made with PEFC-certified wood sourced from local sustainably managed forests and water-based paints. Each product is a marriage of ingenuity and elegance, designed so that the colors and curved lines give off exceptional charm in your home

Great classic pepper mill. For those who want a simpler, time-proven design
When I first started using this pepper mill, I didn’t think it was particularly special. However, I’ve since had a chance to compare with other popular (and well reviewed) units such as the Cole & Mason, and came to the conclusion that Peugeot’s design has lasted the test of time for good reason (don’t get me wrong, the C&M is a fine unit, too). The mill is solid in the hand, and just has a lovely, classic overall feel. The only downside, if I’m being nit picky, is that loosening the top screw (to make course grinds) makes the top cap jostle, thus giving the overall unit a somewhat clumsy experience. Would definitely buy again

Sturdy. Great grind.
Based on reviews here and on other sites, the Peugeot pepper grinders have a good reputation. They may seem more expensive, but as someone who has purchased multiple other (less expensive) grinders, price may indicate quality for the Peugeot. I have used this grinder for a couple of months now. I wanted to try it out prior to purchasing another for a family member over the holidays. I really do like it. The grinding mechanism is sturdy and most whole pepper corns feed well into the grinder — especially black pepper — producing uniform grains that can be large and “cracked” all the way down to powder. Pink peppercorns, which apparently are in a whole different family than “real peppercorns” are much softer and moister than regular black peppercorns and required a lot more shaking to let the grinder work properly. Mixtures of black peppercorns and pink pepper work OK if there is more than 75% black in the grinder.I love this grinder, and did buy another that works just as well! Recommended!

Almost perfect…
***UPDATE*** 6-20-18I called Peugeot customer service directly after thinking this item should really work better. They had me send my mill in to them for review. After reviewing, they showed me (via pictures) that the peppercorns (basic Walmart (Sam’s choice) black pepper) I was using were too LARGE. I needed to use smaller ones. They loaded the mill with correctly sized corns and gave me a package of refills at no charge. I immediately tried it upon receipt and it works perfectly. So, if you are having trouble with yours, try using smaller diameter peppercorns. You will likely find it works just fine 🙂 I am now a happily peppering again!! Still holding back a star as I feel the mill should not be so size restricting, but increased to 4. Pictures show original corns vs the smaller “correct” size ones. Also mill can now be adjusted to grind from coarse to very fine.____________________________Original review…Less functional than I expected for what is a world renowned mechanism. Peugeot grinders are some of the best around. This one falls short of expectation. The mill itself feels very good. The wood is nice and construction is solid. The issue is entirely with the mechanism. It seems that the pepper corns don’t consistently engage into the grinder. So, you turn the mill, crank away and nothing seems to be grinding until finally you get corns to engage and get ground. This is likely what others are experiencing when describing uneven or uncontrollable grind. I just found that you need a little patience and several extra turns to get it to grind properly. This should not be so with this brand. I have several others that grind perfectly from the first turn, but are also much larger (and expensive) than this one. It’s annoying and disappointing though not quite enough for me to send it back. If this is your only grinder and you want a good one, spend a little more and pass on this one. You won’t truly be happy with it.

Re-discovering pepper all over again.
This grinder has allowed me to re-discover pepper all over again. I used to grind my pepper in one of the disposable types that some spice companies package their pepper in now. That can be tasty, but I now realize that the flavor is not nearly as potent unless you begin to use a nicer grinder such as this Peugeot model. I had a direct comparison because I moved peppercorns from my disposable grinder to this one and there was still a noticeable difference in flavor. The pepper is spicier and like magic.You can easily change the coarseness of the grind. Refilling is a breeze.It feels nice in the hand during use. Looks great on the counter. I’m interested to see if the salt version is worth the money! I might even buy one or two more of these pepper grinders so that I can have one for my white and pink peppercorn grinding too!!

Beautiful and efficient
After making the best of cheap pepper mills, I splurged on the Paris Classic 9-inch mill. I don’t know why I waited so long– this mill is wonderful. I use a peppercorn mix and a single turn of the mill head releases a nice amount of perfectly ground pepper with no jamming in the griding mechanism. The mill head turns easily and the knob is easy to turn in order to adjust the size of the ground pepper. A part of me still wishes I’d gone for the flashier 12-inch mill, but this one is just perfect and worth every penny.It’s a shame that it took Amazon five days to toss it in a box with no packing slip and virtually no protection. Lousy shipping for a great product.

Totally hate it. Havenât even used it
This review is for âPeugeot 870422/1 Paris Classic 9-Inch Pepper Mill, Chocolateâ.Totally hate it. Havenât even used it. It came damaged during the shipping. The top had come loose and the peppercorns spilled out scratching the grinder from top to bottom. It was too large for my dining table. Its made of wood so I wasnât sure if I can even clean it using water and soap. I missed the return window so it is lying somewhere in some obscure drawer. When I compare the other 2 grinders that I have, this is my ranking:HomySnug(TM) Salt and Pepper Grinder Set â Totally Love it. Beautiful, right size, easy to clean, Serves its purpose beautifully.OXO Good Grips Pepper Mill â Adore it. I am using daily since 3 years. The only problem is that I cannot take it apart for deep cleaning.Peugeot 870422/1 Paris Classic 9-Inch Pepper Mill, Chocolate â Totally hate it.

I use a pepper mill almost daily and have had several of varying quality over the years and this one seems to be the best quality so far – and would hope so based on the price. Easy to adjust the grind and very smooth to turn. Unlike the lower quality mills, this one just takes a slight turn on the lowest setting to get plenty of fine pepper. You almost need to be careful if applying directly to food not to over-season if you want just a hint. I can’t speak to the longevity but so far so good.

Comprei para dar de presente para minha mãe, e ela ficou apaixonada. Realmente não é assim tão barato para o moedor, mas a qualidade é única. Parece que vai durar para a vida toda. IncrÃvel!

MDH 2023 crimbo prezzie. He’s said that it was the best prezzie he got. A decent size, ergonomic and lovely to use. Spunds daft but it actually grinds the pepper corns as required.Best pepper grinder I’ve found at the most reasonable price after 10yrs searching and being disappointed. Recommend for the decerning lover of a good, reliable and sturdy pepper grinder ðIf you have had enough of second best and want something that does the job get this. The name Peugeot and pepper grinders is new to me but will forever remain in my recommendations hoping it will be sometime in the future but so far so fantastic and wow buy again / salt grinder
