Peugeot Bresil Walnut Coffee Mill

The benefits of freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning are numerous. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism can release the aromas and essential oils of the spice, resulting in more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground versions. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the ability to control the coarseness (size) of the grind, allowing you to choose and change the texture according to taste or necessity.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following factors: Grinding mechanism - choose one that is well-made and produces a consistent grind, ideally designed to handle the specific spice; Design and appearance - a mill can be an indispensable tool in your kitchen and a beautiful part of table decor, whether traditional or modern, manual or electric; Ease of use - a quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot's story dates back to the 19th century, when the Peugeot brothers converted their family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They began producing award-winning hand tools and went on to produce a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles (the Peugeot car company continues the same commitment to quality and innovation).

In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted the design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper mechanism design is still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill, and it is often copied but never equaled. Today, Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms, plus the original burr-style coffee grinder, each designed to get the most out of the spices they are intended for.

The primary difference between Peugeot and other brands is the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has seven unique mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism is made of the ideal design and materials for its intended use, ensuring maximum performance and durability.

Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system with helix-shaped grooves and grinding teeth that guide whole peppercorns through the mechanism to crack and grind them to a consistent size, releasing the essential oils and resulting in more flavor and aroma.

Peugeot's other spice-specific mechanisms, such as the Salt Crushing Mechanism, Spice Mechanism, Chili Pepper Mechanism, Nutmeg Shaving Mechanism, and Wet Salt Mechanism, are all designed to optimize the grinding and shaving of their respective spices, ensuring the best possible results.

Peugeot's Coffee Grinding Mechanism, found in all Peugeot coffee mills, is the foundation of their grinding legacy. The case-hardened steel mechanism efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to the desired consistency, from espresso fine to coffee-press coarse.

Peugeot mills and grinders, made in France since 1840, remain the benchmark of the industry and have earned their position as the mill of choice in world-class kitchens. With their spice-specific mechanisms, superior design, and unparalleled quality, Peugeot continues to set the standard for the perfect grind.
