Review on 🌢️ Trudeau Black Seville Pepper Mill Wood, 10-inch" - High-Quality Grinding Precision by Trevor French

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heavily advertised, perhaps expectations are too high.

Bought after reading numerous reviews on various websites about good value for money. The look and feel is quite nice, but I was quite surprised to find that its functionality wasn't desirable. I spent quite a bit of time fine tuning the bean and either it was so fine that I couldn't see it (in this case it works too well) or it quickly clogged and no bean came out. The coarse grain setting seemed to work well. Also, I cook quite a bit so maybe it was underpowered as I felt like I had to top up every week to get enough "weight" to grind the peppers in the grinder. I have used a disposable grocery store grinder before and it was more convenient and to some extent even preferable to this grinder. However, I will try to get a different pepper grinder so there is less plastic weight. And why do I need another grinder? Because 3 weeks after the purchase, the tiny screw cap fell out of my hand and rolled under some appliance in my kitchen. Obviously user error, of course, but keep this in mind when shopping for a coffee grinder.

Pros
  • Carbon steel grinder stays sharp forever; buy once
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
