The mills of Peugeot have generally very good grinders. The adjustment of the grinding degree is important to me because, for example, coarse pepper belongs to steaks, fine pepper is better for other seasonings. Season with salt, it behaves similarly. So why not use the new technology? I bought the more modern design of Madras ". The structure of the adjustment of the grinding degree is held in metal. Safer than wood and especially acrylic. An acrylic-mill by Peugeot is me ripped the knob during normal operation :-( Unfortunately only after 2 years of warranty maintenance The warranty for the grinder, a lifetime -.! Great does not help me that, a tip for think before buying. The mills do what they should, and really good. I bought two each salt and pepper mills. Two as a Christmas gift and two, if you will, as a Christmas present for me.
