This review is from: Peugeot Ternate Acrylic Nutmeg Grinder 11cm/4.25"
So, you're looking for the reputed "top" nutmeg grinder around. Perhaps you're considering the one that is/was carried at William-Sonoma, Sur La Table, etc. This is it. Everyone who's a foodie has heard of Peugeot. Made in France, and all that.
Comes packed with the actual nuts pictured, and the fit is pretty tight with 5-6 of them in there. Replacement nuts from a local source might not fit "exactly" inside the acrylic cover, just fyi. The grind is between fine and medium, and is only slightly adjustable depending on how much you tighten the mechanism (too loose, though, and it won't grip the nut strongly enough to work). The mechanism is nearly identical to the copy-cat version by William (WM) Bounds (see nut grinder) which also sells here for about 40% less. That one is poorer mechanically (I own both), and produces much larger shavings. Speaking of the mechanism, it isn't perfect, and sometimes a little creative positioning of the nut may be required to get it "seated" securely to the hooked shaft to get it going. Although I have to admit to getting that nostalgic, holiday feeling when turning the grinder, I've had even better, more consistent results using a micro-plane for nuts (the small, narrow version). This version is chrome. There is also a wood based version, though not sure if Amazon still sells it.

This review is from: Peugeot Ternate Acrylic Nutmeg Grinder 11cm/4.25"
Peugeot Ternate Acrylic Nutmeg Grinder 11cm/4.25" We needed 2 nutmeg grinders. We had one much less expensive, perfectly adequate one but decided to buy the best -- at least the price of the Peugeot grinder indicated it must be the best, & the reviews were good. Within 4 months the screw holding the mechanism together fell out and the entire assembly lay in pieces. We figured out how to put it together, but the screw that had fallen out proved inadequate to the task (and holding the assembly together while reinserting the screw required incredible small motor coordination and dexterity). Went to the hardware store, bought a slightly longer screw & voilá. An item this pricey should be assembled better.
