Peugeot is known for making excellent grinding mechanisms, and I think
various other companies use them in their grinders. Turn the grinder over
and see if it says Peugeot on the mechanism.

I've used a Peugeot wooden grinder for about 12 years,
but I must say that it's time to step up to
the Unicorn Magnum Plus.
Adjusting the fineness of grind on the Peugeot is
a huge hassle, and it is an adjustment I make repeatedly
while cooking.
Also, the Peugeot holds about enough pepper for a
week or so. The Magnum holds about a lifetime worth
of pepper.
These may seem like petty issues, but not when you
use as much pepper as I do!

You should keep your peppercords sealed in a dry, cool place. Those in the
grinder will loose flavor and I sure wouldn;t want them sitting there for
more than a few weeks.

We have used a Perfex mill and a Peugeot mill for over 30 years and
wouldn't be without either one. The Perfex mill is made of solid cast
aluminum with a stainless steel grinding mechanism, and is virtually
indestructible. I use it primarily in the kitchen. The Peugeot mill is
made of olivewood, also with a stainless steel grinding mechanism. I use
it primarily on the table.

We also have a battery-operated mill, made in Switzerland, which we have
used for over 25 years. Unfortunately, I cannot find a brand name on it.
Its body is made of heavy plastic and also has a stainless steel grinding
mechanism that has been very reliable. It's particularly handy when one-
handed grinding is needed.

Both the Perfex and Peugeot mills are easily and highly adjustable for
fineness/coarseness of grind. The electric mill is non-adjustable, but
produces a very nice medium grind.

I like the Peugeot(sp) wooden pepper grinder. It both works and looks great.

We've been using out Atlas for over 15 years now.
