The best pepper mill

[Huntsman]

We have a pair of electric Salter salt and pepper mills, nit very good.

Any suggestions?

A cheap disposable one. Spent £60 on a Peugeot one and it’s crap

Bit of a cliche but Peugeot are still my favs.

Based on reviews here and else where I went with this WMF pepper mill and have never looked back. Still use a Cole & Mason that it's predecessor was paired with for salt grinding.

I like the Joseph Joseph mills, they don’t drop pepper everywhere

The monster Peugeot with the three grind settings.

I like the small Peugeot pepper mill I have, but the salt mill is a bit meh.

Pepper Cannon for cooking. https://mannkitchen.co.uk/products/the-original-pe...
Peugeot for the table.

Before anyone says it, yes the cannon is expensive, but it is huge step up in terms of output and grind flexibility.

I found the Peugeot ones to be rubbish too - I couldn't get anything out of them. Hopeless.

I bought these recently and they're excellent:

I agree, whereas my Peugeot salt mill is great, the pepper one is crap and refuses to change grind settings. They look nice though.


(NB: Peugeot ‘Paris’ where you twiddle the knob on the top for (alleged) change in grind settings)

That’s proper PH. Dominate the grinders!

Mental. If it's just for regular cooking get a cheap manual one.

My local pub has Peugeots on every table so must be council...

Given your coffee grinder knowledge I wondered if you'd opt for something like a Timore C3 any good do you think for S and P?

I use the Oxo good grips Pepper Grinder. The slightly more expensive version of the above. 7 years old now and still going. It's a bit slow though, have to grind and grind and grind on finer settings, which is not actually that fine.

Might try my Hario mini mill coffee grinder, given the suggestion above.

I use a Hario coffee grinder to batch grind coarse pepper for seasoning steak, pizzas, making barbecue rubs etc.

I use a peugeot for table seasoning only does a fairly fine grind. I have a terrible record for destroying substandard grinders but the peugeot has held up really well.

I use a mortar and pestle and grind a batch then add sea salt and mix together. I get bored grinding by hand to get the required amount.

Crumbs!

Thanks all, I like the idea of a coffee mill.
