Nay, getteth thee thou a Magnum Pepper Mill, made by Unicorn
(www.unicornmills.com). It was top-rated by Cooks Illustrated and a
couple of years ago I bought one for myself and several for gifts. It
grinds from fine to coarse, holds a lot, rarely needs adjustment, and
grinds fast - a good thing when you want to coat 4 steaks with a layer
of pepper. The people I gave them to all love it.
