Metal. Go for the metal. Metal is good. Plastic is not sexy.

I tend to agree. We shall see this weekend...I just need to figure out
how to convince my husband that we need a 60 (or 80) dollar pepper mill.
I have a feeling he will be hard sell. He is happy with the new
electric kettle though.....

Was the kettle his idea? If so, you have some leverage. :-)

Nope, the kettle was my idea unfortunately, since I make the tea.
But...he is always willing to consider a trade. :-)

The Magnum pepper mill (shown in the above page) was rated best in a
comparative review I read a couple of years ago - I think it was in
Cook's Illustrated.

Ikea stores carry a really nice, cheap spice mill:

We have a couple of these, and they work really well (for pepper or
other spices). Ceramic grinding burrs, adjustable, easy to load, easy
to clean.

We also have a small Zassenhaus pfeffermühle. Small wooden body with
crank, in a very simple round shape, less ornate than the current ones.
Quite pretty. But I don't think they sell this model anymore. Their
current line is shown at
