This 31" restaurant-style beechwood peppermill from Peugeot has a rich chocolate brown finish. The adjustable knob on top lets you change the grind from coarse to fine.The grinding mechanisms of Peugeot pepper mills have grinding and channeling grooves cut into the metal. The channeling grooves (the larger ones) are designed to line up the peppercorns with the grinding grooves (the smaller ones) and to crack the corns in half before the actual fine grinding process. These grooves are individually cut into the metal, which is then case hardened, making the grinding nut and head as hard as a ball bearing.To refill Peugeot peppermills:Unscrew the metal knob and remove the topFill the grinder up to the mark with pepperReplace the top and screw on the metal knob*Remember: The tighter the screw is, the finer the pepper will be ground.Caring for your Peugeot:Do not expose to heatWipe with a damp clothStore in a dry placeDo not put in dishwasherPeugeot mills include a lifetime warranty on the grinding mechanisms.
