Product Description

Size: 8¼" | Color: Matte black beech wood with stainless steel

From the Manufacturer

The Peugeot Fidji 8-inch peppermill brings true fashion to any table. The design features a black-colored hardwood base and a stainless-steel dome that proudly bears the Peugeot mark. The mill's channeling grooves (the larger ones) are designed to line up the peppercorns with the grinding grooves (the smaller ones), and to crack the corns in half before the actual fine grinding process. The grooves are cut individually into the metal, which is then case hardened, making the grinding nut and head as hard as a ball bearing. Peugeot has been making pepper mills since 1842, and is still a leader in the field of mill manufacturing.

Product Description

PEUGEOT: France, since 1810. Peugeot mills are renowned by chefs and gourmet cooks the word over for the consistent grind results they produce, their incredible resilience and proven reliability. Compromise is not a word that fits into the Peugeot vocabulary. For each spice, there is one - and only one - Peugeot grinding mechanism: peppercorns; coarse dry salt; chilies; herbs and spices; wet salts; and nutmeg. Add the coffee mechanism, which started it all, and there are seven unique Peugeot mechanisms. Each is designed to derive the most flavor and greatest aroma from its complementary spice. Aesthetically pleasing, Peugeot mills deliver the height of quality, durability, reliability and innovation; making these mills the ones to which all others are compared. Cut and shaped from select French beech wood, Fidji's sleek silhouette is dressed with a brushed stainless steel top. Fidji classic has a traditional grind adjustment: turn the top nut clockwise (tighten) for a finer grind; counter-clockwise (loosen) for a coarser grind. This mill is equipped with Peugeot's legendary pepper grinding mechanism. Made of case-hardened steel, it has received additional treatment against wear and corrosion. Its double-row of helix-shaped claws grab and crack each peppercorn, before drawing it down to the teeth for the perfect grind. Mill is 8-1/4-inch tall with a black matte finish.

Peugeot has been making pepper mills since 1842, I think they know of where they speak. I know that this is an expensive pepper mill, but it is WELL WORTH it's price. Very well made and sturdy, this selection, the Peugeot Fidji 8-inch peppermill brings true fashion and sleek looks to any dining room or kitschy kitchen table.

This mill has a black-colored hardwood base and a stainless-steel dome that proudly bears the Peugeot mark. The mill's channeling grooves line up those fussy little peppercorns in exact precision with the grinding grooves, thusly cracking the corns in half before the actual fine grinding process.
Adjustable grinding from the top of the mill is easy to use and makes the pepper either beach sand fine or coarsely ground like coffee. All according to your taste buds!

I have purchased two cheaper pepper mills in the $15 to $25 range in the past 10 years and they lasted approximately 2 to 3 years. Don't waste your money on an inexpensive mill. You get what you pay for and you sure get a GREAT, LIFETIME pepper mill in Peugeot's products!

This is a product that I use several times DAILY, a product and company that I believe in and highly recommended!

HAPPY GRINDING!

Clean lines. Attractive in kitchen or dining room. Perfect size, some grinders are way too bulky/clunky for table use. Holds a fair amount of peppercorns. Only drawback is if you need a coarse grind, you have to adjust the nut almost to the point where the top is coming off. At that point the grinding action becomes so loose that pepper kind of "sprays" around your target rather than on it. A great product for super-fine to medium grinds. I like most of my pepper ground coarsely, so overall, this is merely a good product.

The fineness-coarseness of the grind cannot be adjusted except by tightening it down. I gets very tight, but tends to loosen up with each grind until you notice large chunks of peppercorn in your food. Unless it's screwed down so tight that you cannot grind at all, it leaves quite a pool of peppercorns on the table. Pretty clumsily made, I think.
