Peugeot
4.5
(47)
"My ex got me a Peogot like 18 years ago. It’s fantastic."
"I've been using a Peugeot wood mill since 1986"
"Upvote for Peugeot. I am still using the same 18 cm u-select I bought 10 years ago, good as new."
"I'll second that! Best grinder ever!"
"Another Peugeot user here, mill has been a workhorse for 9 years and counting."
"Team Peugeot here. Pepper mill is going into year 17 and works as well as it did on Day 1."
"You’re on the right track with Peugeot."
"Peugeot! The best"
"Peugeot. I cook every day, use my pepper mill at least once a day. 40+ years old."
"A Peugeot is a good mill. I have one that has been used daily for about 45 years and it's still going strong."

"I used to run through cheap ones every few years and ended up going with the Unicorn Magnum. It's a beast and still works like new."
"I have a Unicorn Mills Magnum Plus. Very consistent grind, easy to fill, very fast, made in the US."
"Had a Peugeot. It didn't put out near enough pepper. Got myself a unicorn magnum. That thing puts out."
"I have several unicorns for a decade. They ain't pretty but they are great."

Mann Kitchen
5.0
(17)
"The Mann Kitchen Pepper Cannon is built like an aerospace component and works incredibly well."
"After paying a ridiculous price I feel I need to use it twice a day. But OMG this thing is awesome."
"If you're willing to spend $200, this thing is insane: https://mannkitchen.com/products/the-original-pepper-cannon-pepper-mill"
"Pepper cannon, and it's not even close. next best is the Unicorn."
"I love the pepper cannon from mannkitchen - it is absurdly expensive though."
"After seeing both Babish and Kenji use the Pepper Cannon, I decided to splurge as a little Father’s Day gift for myself. It’s insane. I can pepper my entire house in minutes."
"In the years I've owned mine, I've saved at least a few hours of my life in time not spent cranking a regular pepper mill."
"It truly is worth every penny. Trust me, I've bought 3 of them. One for myself, two for my mom."
"My girlfriend was absolutely against me spending $200 on The Pepper Cannon. So, I saved up around $175 in Amazon credit and bought it for $25 + the $175 in Amazon credit."
"Is it expensive? Yes. Does it churn out an ass load of pepper? Hell yes!!!"
