No, really. Mrs Monkey would like one for Christmas and I want something nice. John Lewis have quite a nice looking Le Creuset one but I’m open to suggestion.

Manual rather than powered I think.

Manual you say??? http://shop2.porsche.com/uk/lifestyle/home/wap0500140e/salt-and-pepper-mills.pdds

You’d have to watch their emissions though…

Get a Peugeot one, they’re the bees’ knees of pepper grinders.

T&G stuff is good, and has lifetime warranty and excellent customer service in my experience.

I would be inclined to avoid anything too big, so the peppercorns don’t sit there forever.

Look at the Weber grinders. Great quality and are a lot better than my cole and mason equivalents.

STW at its finest!

I knew STW would come good 😀

Peugeot is the proper job

Seriously? I know their older diesel engines were good, but would you trust them to make a modern pepper grinder?

We have the Joseph salt and pepper grinders, perhaps not special enough for Chritsmas but good every day and we like the design, very much plastic though

Yes, seriously.

Mrs Wombat used to work for a fancy kitchenware retailer and Peugeot were the best by a large margin (based on fewest returns & trying a few other brands in demo days (yea, really)). We’ve got one (and a salt one) and they’re both head and shoulders better that the Cole & Mason ones they replaced.

They simply work (and will almost certainly continue to do so for may years)

+1 for Peugeot
My sister bought me one for xmas and i was a bit non-plussed at the idea but the thing is brilliant (as pepper grinders go)

For two or three years, every birthday and christmas, when I’ve been asked what I wan’t I’ve said ‘decent pepper grinder’ as we’ve been using and refilling the same disposable costco one for more than a decade.

And nobody has bought me one. I had to bloody by my own!

Your existing pepper grinder has lasted ten years…

So where could one purchase one of these Peugeot grinders?

Pepper Grinder

Get an upside down one – then you don’t get mess over the table…

Yup – My brother had a bit of a DIY wedding do – rather than buy gifts all the guests mucked into the do (I was DJ, the ‘cake’ was a smorgasbord of home baking, and so on). As part of it we had to set up the hall for dining and bought pre-filled disposable salt and pepper grinders for the tables. So I kept one, and when it ran out just kept refilling it. Plastic body and plastic grindy-bit, but it just kept on working and working (and I likes my pepper). He got married in 2002 and I bought a replacement in January this year

So buy another one!

Vanity required that I had something more appropriate to sit next to my Le Crusset salt pig 🙂

A Le Creuset Pepper Badger?

If one turns up cheap, in an unfashionable colour in TKMaxx the yes. Then I’ll just need the Chutney Ferret to complete the set.
