Bodum, a family-owned company that wins awards for its well-designed coffee makers and kitchen products, sticks to the philosophy that "good design doesn't have to be expensive." Building on its Danish modern roots, Bodum produces the Ball Boy line of pepper and salt grinders. Each is comprised of a clear, acrylic ball that fits comfortably in the hand and lets you see how many peppercorns or salt crystals are left inside. Acrylic doesn't mean flimsy; the Ball Boy grinder is so sturdy that Bodum covers it with an impressive 10-year warranty.
Available in three sizes, the Ball Boy pepper grinder is fitted with a sharp, long-lasting carbon steel blade that never needs sharpening. A wing-nut easily turns to adjust the grind, which can range from a fine dusting of pepper on soup to coarser shavings on salads or roast meat. The ring-shaped grinding knob turns smoothly for quick action, and removes for handy top-filling. Bodum graciously includes some peppercorns with the grinder. Pair the pepper grinder with a matching Ball Boy salt grinder for a stylish tabletop set. The heights and diameters of the Ball Boy grinders are as follows: large, 5-1/2 by 4 inches; medium, 4-1/4 by 3-1/4 inches; mini, 3-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches. --Ann Bieri
