Peugeot Elis Sense Pepper Mill, 8-inch

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices offers numerous benefits for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a specially designed grinding mechanism can release the aromas and essential oils of the spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground options. An additional advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides over the coarseness (size) of the grind. A high-quality pepper, salt, or spice mill allows you to choose and adjust the coarseness according to taste or necessity.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following:

Grinding Mechanism: Choose a grinding mechanism that can withstand daily use, one that is well-made and produces a consistent grind. Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be designed to handle a specific spice, as each spice has different physical characteristics that will benefit from different design features.

Design and Appearance: Whether traditional or modern, manual or electric, a mill can be an indispensable kitchen tool and a beautiful part of table decor.

Ease of Use: A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and feel comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot's story began in the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They immediately started producing award-winning hand tools and went on to create a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and most notably, automobiles. (Although now operating as a separate company, the Peugeot car company continues the same commitment to quality and innovation that is a Peugeot hallmark.)

In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted that design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper mechanism design is still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill. Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is often copied but never equaled. Today, Peugeot offers six unique, spice-specific mechanisms, plus the original burr-style coffee grinder. There are no shortcuts: each mechanism is designed to get the most out of the spices they are intended for. After more than 160 years, Peugeot mills and grinders remain the benchmark of the industry and have earned their position as the mill of choice in world-class kitchens.

The primary difference between Peugeot and all other brands is the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has 7 unique grinding mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs, spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. For each spice, there is one - and only one - Peugeot grinding mechanism, each made of the ideal design and constructed from the best material available for its intended use. All Peugeot mechanisms are made in France and carry a lifetime limited warranty.
