Peugeot - Paris u'Select Manual Pepper Mill - Adjustable Grinder - Beechwood, Chocolate

Recommended through Wirecutter and I am so pleased with this peppermill! Perfect size and I love the way the bottom is marked for fine grind to coarse grind. The fine grind black pepper tastes so wonderful...very much like European White Pepper...earthy! Wonderful!

Love it. Works amazing. Mine came with a small crack but it doesn’t seem like it’ll compromise anything

Simplemente Peugeot !!

Nicely designed and made, with a broad grind size adjustment.

This is a handsome grinder that produces a very fine powder. I use a different pepper grinder for cooking, but this is my first choice for grinder that goes on the dinner table.

I've been limping along with two pepper grinders gifted to us many years ago. The tall dark one we've used for black pepper and the shorter "beigier" colored one for white pepper. The grind of the tall one can only be adjusted by tightening or loosening the nut on top which also secures the grinder's top. The more you grind, the tighter the nut gets and the finer the grind. The shorter grinder has a chrome collar just below the top with F, M and C settings which work okay, but I end up inadvertently turning the collar as I grind, thus changing the fineness of the grind. And the varnish on the outside of the shorter grinder has aged so that it is now sticky to the touch. Hmph.So, I decided to splurge and get one each of the chocolate brown and natural wood colored Peugeot grinders for black and white pepper respectively. Good choice. Love them. They grind both types of pepper very easily, thank you, the mechanism works flawlessly and they look very handsome on the counter by the stove top.Adjusting grind fineness or coarseness is accomplished by turning a wooden collar at the base of each grinder to the desired setting designated by tiny vertical markings from I to IIII. You have to experiment to figure out if I is coarse or fine, but it's figure-out-able and I won't spoil if for you. I suspect too that the markings will wear away over time thus only increasing the Gallic fun. I had a friend who owned a Peugeot 304 back in the 1970s and the car had similar little idiosyncrasies. Like the ashtray with 14 moving parts.Anyhow, I love the grinders, I use them daily, they feel good to the touch AND the vendor that sells the chocolate colored one, the actual subject of this review, provides a WARRANTY for American buyers that does not require you to try to communicate with les braves gens de Peugeot. Bravo!

provide great uniform grind size and flexible adjustment, but sometimes the peppercorn gets clogged inside and requires clearing. I would have to shake it to loosen it or dump them out and fill them back in to unclog, but it's not common

Works reasonably well and looks great.The wooden base, that area where one selects the grind size broke - the wood split resulting in part of the base becoming detached. Glued it back together successfully, only to have a different area of the base split apart once again.Considering the excellent reviews the product has received, it is assumed the wood itself may be the cause of the repeating breakdown.
