Peugeot - Kronos Manual Coffee Mill - Adjustable Grinder with 43 Settings - Stainless Steel, 50g Capacity

Bought this as I have a Peugeot Pepper grinder and it is excellent.I had a cheap coffee grinder but the grind was never fine enough for my Moka pot or Espresso machine.This device produces a very fine suitable grind at it's maximum setting, however be aware that at this grind you need quite a lot of physical effort to grind it, and this is not helped by the fact that the bottom part is quite slippy to hold, and makes it easy to spill the beans if you have it a bit full.My sister has a traditional Peugeot "box" grinder, but this produces superior results.Despite these shortcomings, it is still 5* because the build and grind quality is excellent.I paid about £67 shipped, which is a good £30 less than from Peugeot direct.

Grind seems uniform compared to a Hario ceramic burr grinder I have, and this one is much quicker at grinding too. It is a bit difficult to hold/grip, but I'm just happy that the grind quality makes my coffee much better.

This is excellent, I also have pepper and salt mills, and they are made in France :-)

Very difficult to grind holding down onto a kitchen work surface, slips in the hand, especially when grinding finely. Disappointing action despite looking great and grinding as required.

So far I am not impressed. The finest grind is not as fine as you would expect. Considering it has loads of settings I do not find it fine enough for my Moka pot.

I bought this item twice in case the first was defective, but basically fine grind is useless - the beans don't drop into the mech, so the arm spins around without effect. It took 5 mins to get a pinch of ground coffee.

Fab looking item, overpriced and dismal ergonomics. The plastic container feels cheap and slippery unless you have giant sized hands to hold it and pin it down with a grip of iron this item is unusable for the average person. Not only that the mechanism ground to a complete halt on the fine setting. For those of us looking for a quality versatile manual grinder this definitely isn’t it. Thanks to Amazon prime promptly returned and refunded.

**UPDATE**The knob on the handle broke after less than one year of use. The white powder in the photo seems to be plastic dust. It looks like the bottom of the piece sheared off. Now going back under warranty***The grinder mechanism is excellent, I have to be fair. The rest, abysmal.Tip: dampen hands before holding as it improves grip.The bottom is lightweight plastic, it's enormous, my hand only goes about half way around and you must hold it very tight to use it. Even my husband who bought it struggles to grip it.I end up covered in bruises if he isn't about as I have to brace it against my ribs or breastbone to use it. I cannot recommend it, though if you find a different model using the same grinder it may be OK.
