Good pepper mill?

[qman]

I use a Turkish coffee mill to grind pepper and love it. My mill is 25 years old and never any issues. Brass internals push the price to $100 but I consider it cheap since I do not think I will ever break it.

This. My Turkish coffee mill is more like 35 years old, and never a problem.

I have used this S&P dual grinder for the past 5 years. I like it and guests like it. I got it from Macys but I didn't see it on their site today.

I've used Unicorns for years, now have them filled with different varieties of peppercorns. But for those occasions when you want a finer-ground pepper, the Cole and Mason Derwent unit is excellent. I've never been able to adjust a Unicorn to do a satisfactory fine grind.

I use the same mill for our pepper grinding. I have had that thing like 12 years and it works great.

I bought mine after destroying several cheaper models that I destroyed over the years. Yes it was pricey but so far fail proof.

I second the OXO Good Grips brand. I have had really good luck with mine and I use it a lot.

I've got a Vic Firth peppermill. He makes great drumsticks, and a great mill.

You could go with one of the many suggestions here...or you could go with the pick chosen by the people who use one in their profession every single day.

Or, you could go with the grinder from the guy that makes drum sticks. :laugh: :doh:

I third the OXO. Have the salt and pepper work great. Got mine at BB&B.

 

[food4thot]

Have both Peugeot and OXO grinders. Neither work as well as Kuhn Rikon.

Another vote here for the Unicorn Magnum. I've had mine around 4 years, and it is still awesome. It can really crank out the pepper. Only drawback is that the adjustment screw works itself loose and the grind gets bigger, but every few days or so I just give it a little half twist and we're all good again.

I've had this one for about 5 years and no problems.

Best one I've ever used.

I use a Kuhn Rikon my wife and i found at Marshalls for $20 8 years ago. The burr is ceramic and sits brindin surface up. Easy to adjust with a turn of the knob. Awesome mill.

I got a couple of these. Ceramic innards and stupid cheap. One for sea salt, one for pepper.

Hario

I'll second the Hario ....
Ceramic burrs are the bomb !
Grinds anything from peppercorns to spices to coffee , infinitely adjustable....

I use a Hario ceramic coffee mill skerton. Amazon has them for $30-35, it works very well easy to adjust the grind size.

 

[landarc]

I am another Unicorn user, never been disappointed with them

Oh, for grinding black pepper for rubs and such, I use a cheap electric burr grinder for coffee, it was under $60 and it grinds up medium coarse black pepper in a jiffy.

I've got a Vic Firth peppermill. He makes great drumsticks, and a great mill.

Same here. I'd be lost without my Vic.

I have bad wrists, so moved away from the traditional style grinders to the one with an arm. This is a cheap one that I've really liked. You can grind a lot of pepper fairly quick and it can go from fairly fine to pretty coarse.

I have 8 of these. Ceramic internals. They rock for the price. I use a coffee bean grinder for rubs and cracking (quick pulse.) I buy most of my spices whole.

^I have 3 pepper mills and this is my favorite.

Mother in law bought me the electric pepper grinder but it is to slow if you want more pepper(http://www.williams-sonoma.com/prod...EARCH||Category-_-Cooks' Tools-_-NoMerchRules)

3rd is a pampered chef one my mom gave me which is decent.
