Review on 🌶️ Peugeot 870422/1 Paris Classic 9-Inch Pepper Mill, Chocolate: Finely Ground Nostalgia for Flavorful Feasts by Wendy Hernandez

***UPDATE*** 6-20-18 I called Peugeot customer service just after I thought this item really should work better .They forced me to send them my windmill for inspection. After checking, they showed me (via pictures) that the peppercorns (Walmart's plain black peppercorns (Sam's choice)) I was using were TOO BIG, I had to use smaller ones They loaded the grinder with the right size corn and gave me a bag of fillers for free.I tried it out as soon as I received it and it works great so if you have trouble with peppers try smaller diameter peppercorns you will probably find it works quite well :) Now I'm pepper happy again!I'm still holding back a star as I feel the grinder has no size restrictions g should have, but should be increased to 4. The photos show the original calluses compared to the smaller "correct" sizes. In addition, the grinder can now be ground from coarse to very fine. _____________________________ Initial review. Less functional than I expected for a world famous movement. Peugeot shredders are among the best. This does not live up to expectations. The grinder itself feels very good. The wood is beautiful and the construction is solid. The problem lies entirely in the mechanism. It seems peppercorns don't always end up in the grinder. So you spin the mill, crank the crank, and nothing seems to grind until you finally get the grains to hook and grind. This is probably what others are experiencing when describing uneven or out of control grinding. I just found that you need a little patience and a few extra twists to sand it properly. This brand shouldn't be. I have a few others that grind great from the first round, but they are much larger (and more expensive) than these. It's annoying and frustrating, but not enough to send him back. If this is your only grinder and you want a good one, spend a little more and go for this one. You won't be really happy with that.
