Peugeot 23461 Paris u'Select Pepper Mill, Chocolate, 7 inch

The primary difference between Peugeot and all other brands lies in their spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot offers seven unique grinding mechanisms designed specifically for pepper, salt, herbs, 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.

Peugeot's story dates back to 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 create 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 later adapted 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. 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 that 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.

u'Select is Peugeot's patented grind control system for electric and manual grinders. This system allows you to quickly, easily, and accurately adjust the grind settings, offering six pre-defined levels of grind for both pepper and salt, or any point in between. Simply turn the ring at the base of the mill to select your desired grind size, and the grind will remain consistent, time after time.

When looking for a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following: the grinding mechanism should be well-made and produce a consistent grind, designed to handle the specific spice; the design and appearance should complement your kitchen decor; and the mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and comfortable to use.

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. Peugeot's commitment to quality and innovation continues to set them apart, ensuring that their products deliver exceptional performance and enhance the flavors of your culinary creations.
