Review on ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Peugeot 870422/1 Paris Classic 9-Inch Pepper Mill, Chocolate: Finely Ground Nostalgia for Flavorful Feasts by Dionne Powers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

4/5 if fixed. 1/5 as supplied

I don't know why a decent pepper/salt grinder is so hard to find these days. I've been using a Costco/Kirkland brand disposable pepper grinder for a while and have yet to find anything that meets their specs. Click/turn grinders don't work very well, so I avoided the U-Select model. There is no need to complicate the pepper mill. When delivered, I would give this model 1/5 star because the upper knurled nut does not remain tightened for a reasonable period of time. This makes it impossible to get a decent grind as the setting changes with each revolution. I applied some Loctite 222 (purple, low strength) to fix this problem. Now the adjustment knurled nut stays in place and grinding is acceptable. Still not the quality of a Kirkland grinder, but definitely usable.

Pros
  • Classic grind adjustment: turn the top knob tighter (clockwise) for a finer grind; weaker (counter clockwise) for coarser grinding
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
