Customer Reviews

Still the best mills; still the best finish
The classic curry color is a traditional French kitchen color, applied as a fairly hard lacquer. That makes it easy to live with and very easy to keep clean. The other finishes, esp. the dark stained ones, are comparatively fragile and harder to keep clean, except the black lacquer. The mills in the so-called 'natural finish' have almost no finish at all and tend to pick up any residue around. They are also hard to clean, whereas these Classic Curry lacquered mills wipe clean with a cloth or paper towel.

Peugeot mechanisms are flawless: Just adjust the top nut to loose for coarse or tight for fine and then grind. Silly people pay TWICE as much for Peugeot's U'Select model, on which one twists a lower ring rather than adjust the traditional top nut. Talk about nuts!

These old pattern Peugeot's last for decades of daily use, so they are actually very, very cheap.

Common sea salt or kosher salt works fine in the salt mill.

Any common or fancy pepper works great for the pepper mill.

Keep your eyes open for cheap plastic funnels to aid in filling.

Nice
The wood mills are 8-3/4 inches and that includes the metal knob. The base is 2 1/4 inch in diameter. Each mill weighs 11 oz and comes with about a tablespoon of salt/pepper but much more will fit. The metal knobs include a a black "S" or a "P" making it easy to identify the one you want.

The color seems pretty true. I was happy with it.
The paint is glossy and very smooth. (I'll update if it chips)The mills are rather large but fit well in my hand. I like the way the mills grind but I have owned only one other mill so that is not much to judge it against. Over all I am happy with this lightning deal.

Classic French for a pittance
This is the third set of s&p mills I've purchased. The price and quality are unbeatable. I travel to Paris once a month and priced this exact set; the best price I could find was 69euros. That's over $100. Peugeot is a very well known name, and the curry color is a beautiful French classic. The working mechanism on the set is very reliable, too. I, honestly, can't say a bad thing about this purchase, and highly recommend it.
