Peugeot Pepper Mill

Paris model, manual pepper mill Peugeot has been making pepper mills since 1874, and the reason the name still means something on a pepper mill is the part you never see. The steel mechanism does the work, and Peugeot backs every one of its steel mechanisms with a lifetime warranty, which is a rare promise for a kitchen tool. The Paris shape itself is plain turned wood with a waisted middle, easy to grip with a greasy hand and steady on a crowded countertop. The mills are still assembled at Peugeot's factory in Quingey in eastern France. Check the body warranty separately: the lifetime cover applies to the mechanism, not the wood.
