Are you sure the mechanism is ceramic and not white plastic? For my money, I’ve been using a couple of Peugeots for many years without and problems with rust. These are far superior to other brands IMHO.

Peugeot. Best pepper and salt mills we’ve ever owned.

What is it that ceramic mills do better? I have a Peugeot that’s been in daily use for over 20 years and works as well today as the day I bought it. Does fine grind, coarse grind, you name it.

of pepper mills is peugeot from France. Their cheapest model comes in either blond or dark wood for $25. The blond wood gets icky, dirty eventually so I would go with the dark. I linked to a listing for it on Amazon:...

If it is battery operated, it’s hype. Get a big, sturdy Peugeot mill, which your SO will still have long after you’re gone (or at your 25th anniversary).

I like my little Perfex and that it can fit in my purse too. I’m picky about my pepper. I also have 2 mills from Peugeot. One in black lacquer for black pepper and one in white lacquer for white pepper. I like the ease of...

. I’ve also seen Peugeot mills at Kilian in Kensington- these aren’t as good as the Zass by reputation (you can read all manner of consumer reviews at www.coffeegeek.com) but they seem to be a good build. Most manual...
