Review on Peugeot Nancy Pepper Mill, 7 🌶️ Inch Clear: The Ultimate Spice Grinding Essential by Antonio Bacon

Perhaps the previous review (et415) had a defective block or ground something other than pepper, but it's physically impossible for the "screw" [ actually it is a nut], which controls the fineness of grinding, is weakened by grinding. The cap you pick up and twist to grind peppercorns fits snugly onto the flattened portion of the drive spindle and locks it in place. The nut threads onto the threaded portion of the spindle that protrudes through the cover. The harder you tighten the nut, the higher it raises the spindle and the interior of the burr at the bottom of the spindle, resulting in a finer grind. The nut, cover and spindle move as a unit because the cover is firmly fixed on the flat of the spindle. The nut cannot loosen when turning the cover. The nut just sits there. If there is a better pepper mill, I would love to hear about it.
