Peugeot - Fidji Manual Salt Mill - Adjustable Grinder - Olive Wood and Stainless Steel, Natural, 8 Inch

I really love this salt mill. I bought the matching pepper mill and they are both beautiful and work smoothly. I did purchase those separately and was pleased to see that the logo on the knob of the salt mill is white, while the logo on the pepper mill is black. This is a subtle, but easy way to tell the difference between the two.I read a number of reviews which mention that the mill cannot grind down larger salt crystals, however I believe this has a simple fix: When refilling the grinder, the knob at the top, which is also used to adjust coarseness, unscrews and is removed. This loosens the grinding mechanism at the bottom of the grinder, allowing the larger salt rocks to fall down into the grinding mechanism, which wedges the mechanism into a very coarse-grind setting. Then the knob is screwed back on, but it is not screwed on as tightly as before due to the blockage, which sets the new grinding at a very coarse grind. The trick is to simply flip the mill upside down at this point, which will release the salt rocks back into the mill from the grinding mechanism, and screw the knob tighter. This closes the mechanism down and allows for a finer grind.My aunt has a Peugeot pepper mill that worked so well, that I have had it on my wish list for the last two years. Don’t know what took me so long, but I finally bought myself a set and I’m very happy with them. Highly recommended.

So, Happy to find artisan quality products are still being made. No Chinese junk I just tossed out and spend the same amount of money on into the trash can.The Olive Wood is beautiful and will be used daily. And handed down to the children's children.

Won't grind large (green) peppercorns. Top loosens as it's being used. I thought I would get better quality for this price. I cook 5 to 6 nights a week and love pepper. It took 2 years to wear out my last pepper mill, but it was FAR less expensive. I could have purchased cheap ones every two years for the rest of my life, and still be $$$ ahead.

Great grinder! Don't know what the other reviews regarding its poor performance with adjusting grinding size have run into, but ours operates great! Tightening and loosening the top portion is easy and I could see how some think it is too sensitive and thus the poor reviews regarding grinding, but we have acclimated to it and find it rather nice and smooth. Glad to have gotten this grinder, just wish it was a little darker. Might be worth staining a little more to fit our aesthetic.

Got this + the matching pepper mill. It's beautiful, feels super sturdy. The grinding teeth just don't seem to do a great job of grabbing the salt? Using Pink Himalyanan Sea Salt from Costco, so maybe it's just too big or not grabby enough. The pepper grinder works great though!

He comprado muchos molinos de sal y pimienta y hasta ahora no había encontrado unos que funcionaran correctamente, estos sí funcionan y además son preciosos

Great Peugeot mill and works well as expected. Sadly, the olive wood blanks are glued from strips. i.e., they are not solid blanks. For a company with the reputation Peugeot has, I would expect a solid piece of wood. After all, in this size of wood blank, it is not difficult to find. With the natural grain interrupted by the glued surfaces, it actually looks like fake wood. I am quite surprised by this--perhaps they keep the best to sell in France as they do with other really good French products.

Love everything about it.

Calidad Peugeot, muy bonitos y hasta el momento funciona de maravilla

Habe lange überlegt, ob ich sie kaufen soll. Bin voll zufrieden. Lieferung war flott. Mühle mahlt sehr gut und ist sehr schön gearbeitet.

Mühle ist wie von Peugeot erwartet unglaublich schön gefertigt und hochwertig - fast schon zu perfektionistisch. Da können sich WMF und Co. noch was abschauen! 0,5 Sterne würde ich noch abziehen, weil das Salz doch recht genau in der empfohlenen Körnung sein sollte. Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, dann ist man ständig am herumstellen. Aber 4,5 Sterne kann ich nicht geben und gerundet sind das dann doch gerade noch 5 Sterne.

Leider ist die Mühle wirklich nicht gut. Das Salz fällt permanent durch und man hat dauernd Salz überall verstreut liegen. Mahlgrad lässt sich ebenfalls nicht genau einstellen, nur grob oder fast Staub. Deckel löst sich sehr schnell an der Verschraubung.Kurz gesagt, Schmutz!

Die Salzmühle konnte leider nicht wirklich überzeugen. Die Verarbeitung war super! Aber... entweder kam gar nichts oder das Salz war viel zu grob. Die Pfeffermühle konnte dagenen sehr überzeugen... :/
