I like the Atlas grinders, copper for pepper and silver for salt, the salt grinders have a plastic liner and grinding mechanism to stop corrosion.

I feel like such a heathen, but do they make a significant difference? I just use the Costco Kirkland refillable grinder...

I went through the "pepper mill" search a while back and ended up with one of these:

I liked the more contemporary look, and Made in Maine is always a plus for me, so I was happy to pay a bit extra.

Go to enough thrifts/sales and you’ll find one for $5. They’re amazing.

While you’re at it get an old style Rosle garlic press and have a party
Definitely the best I've used. Also have an old brass turkish coffee grinder that works great for pepper too!

I have an old turkish brass coffee grinder that I use to grind pepper corns. It has been going strong for 30+ years.
It is not the easiest to set the grind but it is built strong and has never given me any issues.
Mine is similar to this one. Beware of cheap knockoffs tho. Buy one that is made is Turkey and not indo-china.

I guess I have a set Peugot grinders. (I had to look)

They are terrible.

That's my mini review.

Although I do have a peppermill, I almost never use pepper on its own. However, I do use it a lot in a spice mix I make. I grind my own peppercorns for the spice mix with an old fashioned mortar and pestle like this.

Second the Vic Firth. We have three-black pepper, white pepper, and salt. Love them all.

Unicorn Pepper Mill - I have had the Magnum Plus for years and it grinds a prodigious amount with minimal effort. The grind can be adjusted easily. As a final benefit, it holds a huge amount of peppercorns.

specific model I have: http://www.unicornmills.org/magnum-plus.html

Thank you everyone for their input. Wow didn't think it would go 3 pages long. You guys are awesome. Goes to show we all share a common interest.

I ended up with a Vintage Pepper Mill and love it! Has that nice feel in the hand, works smoothly, and will look great on the table.

Cheers!

Same here, the salt grinder gave out-replaced with an WMF product:

BTW, for true peppercorn lovers, anyone tried the stuff from the Federated States of Micronesia, the island of Kosrae?
