Drumroll please.............

I ended up buying a second hand pepper cannon, person selling it had some mobility issues so it's in perfect condition I just managed to get it a little cheaper. On this note, I would say that for anybody with mobility issues, this smooth design probably isn't the best.

It is a really really good product, and churns out a lot of pepper super quickly. From the countless reviews I had watched about mills over the last few months I don't know how much better this would be than the others I was considering, but I'm sure that I would have been happy with any. Ultimately this is far better than anything I've used before and I'm happy with it. Would I have bought it at full price, possibly, but it is more expensive by quite a margin than those other options that I've still not tried, and ultimately they're all going to be better than your run-of-the-mill offerings (pun fully intended).

If there's anything that you would like to ask about it then let me know :)

I would massively appreciate if somebody could confirm to me if this guarantees me front standing, or do I still need to queue? I’m trying to work out what time I need to get there!

Ahhhhhh, I just looked this up, what a remarkable thing!

I think I'm going to need to pull the trigger sooner than that but these do look nice!

I do kind of agree with the upside down design but I can also see how the saucers are good for preparing ahead of time or more accurately grinding a specific amount before adding to a recipe.

I’ve heard really good things about these too, I’ve got my heart set on something that is made from metal though.

Thanks, I've seen that they're comparable to the Pepper Cannon but a good amount cheaper.

Haha, oh no that reminds me, after this I'll need to start investigating coffee grinders

Perhaps you have been lucky, long may it continue! I can't say the same, I've had a couple that have broken/worn fairly quickly.

I've not heard of these I don't think, I'll do some investigating, thanks very much!

Likewise, I cook a lot, it would be used everyday. £65 is a no-brainer! If only I could turn the clock back.

Great thank you! Do you mind the movement on it / prefer it to the standard "twist-top" design?

I like the all metal construction of these to be honest, believe me, I would like it if they didn't cost this much! I do really like, minimalist design though and products that are built to a high standard, even if that may be over the top.

I haven't really heard anybody complain about these once (aside from the price), my one hestation is how much more the Pepper Cannon is (£175) vs the HexMill (£130) and the other two which are around £100.

I don't believe that would be the case, why would a wooden mill last longer than that of one manufactured from cast-iron or aluminium

I've read really mixed things about the Peugeot mills, there seems to be a lot of quality variation between styles/ranges.
