Review on Efficient Salt and Gourmet Peppercorn Grinder - PepperMate Traditional Pepper Mill 723 (White) by Chris Ostby

This grinder grinds pepper well. A few thoughts: There is a jar attached to the base that allows you to pre-shred the peppers and sift them for a more controlled distribution. I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary, I usually grind the pepper right over the food, although it has a fairly wide splatter area, so it's best to chop closer to the food. - It might be a little subjective, but I feel the pepper from this grinder is a bit stronger than the disposable grinder I'm used to. Is it the sharpness of ceramic grinding stones? pepper freshness? I'm not 100% sure but I like it. - It is too expensive. If it lasts as long as the last pepper grinder I bought nearly 10 years ago, it should cost $4 a year, or a little over a cent a day. This is the type of math I use to justify impulsive purchases, so estimate my range.
