Le Creuset Pepper Mill

My friend kept complaining about how his pepper mill was difficult to grind the peppercorns. Tiring of hearing the complaints, I decided to find a good one, i.e. with a good grinding mechanism and easy to turn, as his Xmas gift. I looked on Sur La Table and found the Le Creuset Pepper Mill. It had great reviews and was a classic design and size. My friend loved his gift and praises its ease of grinding and the amount of ground pepper it makes. I recommend this product if your pepper mill takes a lot of effort to turn the grinding mechanism and tires your hand.

My little splurge is perfect! Grinds perfectly and the oyster color is perfect in my kitchen color scheme.

Love this! I love this color and have a stock pot in the same color that I would leave out on the stove top if I had room. The grinding mechanism is very smooth and it works wonderfully. So thrilled with this purchase.

We got this peppermill as a wedding gift. I'm a big Le Creuset fangirl and we have many of their products in our home. This peppermill is, objectively, one of the worst ones I have ever owned in my life. The tension does not sit right, the pepper comes out in powdery dust - if it comes out at all - and the screw top comes loose every 5 times I turn it.

To say I'm disappointed would be a vast understatement. For the money spent on one of these you would be better off buying a cheaper mill, or 4 or 5 all in one's from the grocery.
