Peugeot - Bistro Manual Salt and Pepper Mill Set - Classic Adjustable Grinder - Beechwood, Chocolate and Natural

I purchased because I have had such positive experiences with Peugeot in Europe and these looked a stylish and compact small set. Unfortunately they are greatly inferior in use to those which I have been accustomed to. Both mills tend to require constant adjusting to get the right grind because the coarseness adjustment and the screw to tighten the top are the same. Sadly the quality of the parts is poor and the screw doesn't stay in one position it screws/unscrews as the mill is turned to grind the salt or pepper. Further the pressed steel grinding parts seem to fail to grip and frequently clog up particularly with the salt. All in all an inferior product and most disappointing from Peugeot.

I bought these mills on the recommendation of previous reviews, but have not felt so positive about them: being Peugeot I thought they would be fantastic, as my friend has larger versions which work incredibly well. These, however, are rather coarse and I keep having to alter the top screw to make it work better. They look lovely and do work - albeit not to the standard I had hoped.Update: Really disappointed with these as they continue to give a very coarse end product - sometimes the salt has not even been ground at all!!

My partner and I were lucky enough to attend a wedding at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saison and as well as the amazing food, we were (oddly one might say!) impressed with the Peugeot salt and pepper shakers. So we immediately decided to replace our cheap plastic ones with these (although we couldn't afford to proper silver plated ones we used at Le Manoir!). The only downside for us is that they are very small and given the amount of seasoning we like on and in our food, we are constantly having to fill them up. As a result, they are only for the table, and we've kept the plastic ones to use in cooking... problem solved!

Does excellent job

Really good looking set, but unfortunately we had to return this as neither salt or pepper ground very well . We couldn’t work out how to grind and /or adjust the different settings without it all coming loose. Such a shame - was hoping for something timeless and effective we could hold onto for a while.
