Design
The mill features a stunning chocolate-finished beech wood body paired with a stainless steel crank handle and hopper cover. Its unique silhouette includes a small wooden drawer at the base to collect ground pepper, while the curved lines and nautical-inspired hardware provide a timeless, artisanal aesthetic that stands out on any countertop.
Durability
Built to last for generations, this mill utilizes a case-hardened steel grinding mechanism specifically treated to resist corrosion and maintain sharpness. The robust French beech wood housing and high-grade metal components ensure the mill can withstand daily kitchen use without losing its structural integrity or mechanical smoothmess.
Care
To maintain the mill's performance and appearance, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and avoid any contact with water or detergents. Never put the mill in the dishwasher; simply refill with high-quality peppercorns and ensure the mechanism remains dry to prevent the steel from dulling or the wood from warping.
Grinding Mechanism
The
patented Peugeot mechanism features a two-stage process where a helix-shaped double row of teeth cracks the peppercorns before they are ground to the desired fineness. This action releases the pepper's natural essential oils for maximum aroma, while a notched thumbwheel under the handle allows for
ultra-precise, fully adjustable settings ranging from fine powder to coarse cracked grains.
