Well, at first a few slightly smaller peppercorns have probably collected at the mill down, and everything worked. But once the smallest pepper grains are milled by nothing happens. Apparently the Peugeot grinder for tiny peppercorns is designed, not for what you receive in this country than peppercorns.
Of course you are looking for the first error in itself - I bought the wrong pepper? No, because one minute at Google confirms that the peppercorns is an inherent problem with Peugeot.
My solution: the first peppercorns roughly crushed before they come into the mill. Then the grinder is working properly. Then you can also enjoy the elegant design - which is really good value for money by the way. But sorry, if I have to make the pepper only once small, then I need not peppermill.
In short, pretty design, but does not fulfill his very own purpose. I now rumgeärgert me a few months with the thing and forgive the worst grade. Next step: Buy a reasonable peppermill.
