The price was always a deterrent but after buying 4 less expensive grinders and experiencing less than spectacular results I finally bought myself a present. It makes cooking and eating so much more enjoyable. The feel is fantastic and it grinds consistently every time. I can adjust how much comes out. I got the less traditional shape to accommodate the space I had and also a non traditional color but they both work great for me. I am hoping this keeps me happy for a very long time.

This beautiful pepper mill works great! I am very happy with this purchase!

Wow, this is a luxury French brand that has been around for a long time and is renowned for their quality grinders, so I was super excited to try this one! I have owned a pair of their smaller sized salt/pepper grinders but never had a tall one like this. I love the design of it and how it's large like the ones in restaurants, and it's also super easy to fill. I use coarse sea salt in mine and keep it away from humidity as it is made of wood and I want to keep the inside mechanism dry, so I wouldn't recommend those 'wet' sea salts in this grinder. This is definitely a salt mill worth investing in because the mechanism is made to last!!

I had high expectations for it based on the description, but unfortunately, it failed to meet even the basic standards I expected for something in this price range. First off, the design looks sleek, yes, but that's where the positives end. The graphite color looked great at first, but it faded within the first few uses, and now it looks like it’s been through some heavy wear and tear, even though I’ve been careful with it. The beechwood is another issue—it feels like it could’ve been made from higher-quality material. I don’t mind paying for a premium product if it delivers, but the wood feels flimsy and is already showing signs of wear. The grinding mechanism was another major letdown. It’s supposed to be a precision mechanism, but I found it to be inconsistent in its performance. Sometimes, it would grind too coarse, and other times it would barely produce any salt at all. I tried adjusting it multiple times, but nothing seemed to help. The grinder, while advertised as easy to use, required far too much force to get any salt out, especially when it was filled up. I found myself cranking it constantly just to get a decent amount of salt, which ended up being frustrating. The product’s claim to be perfect for culinary enthusiasts doesn’t hold up. As a home cook who enjoys experimenting with flavors, I thought it would be a useful tool in my kitchen, but it’s just too much of a hassle to use regularly. I also found the size of it to be awkward—it’s supposed to be a 9-inch grinder, but it felt too tall for my spice cabinet, and it’s far too heavy for something I’d want to use casually. Even after just a few weeks of use, I noticed the grinding mechanism started to jam. I thought perhaps it was just a bad batch, but after some research, I saw that other users were having the same issue with the internal grinding mechanism clogging or becoming stuck. This could easily be avoided with a more robust design, but it seems like the creators took shortcuts to save on costs. For a limited edition product, I expected much more attention to detail. The lack of consistency in grinding quality, coupled with the poor durability of the materials, makes it difficult to justify the cost. It's frustrating because, on paper, it looked like it would be the perfect addition to my kitchen, but in reality, it’s not worth the money. I would recommend looking for a different grinder that doesn’t rely on looks and actually delivers on performance. If you’re someone who enjoys cooking regularly and wants a reliable grinder, this isn’t it. It may look good on the shelf, but when it comes to functionality, it’s definitely lacking. For the price, I feel like I could’ve purchased a much more durable and functional alternative. It just didn’t live up to its promises, and I’m left feeling disappointed with my purchase. I wouldn't suggest anyone else waste their money on it, especially if you’re looking for a product that’s going to stand the test of time.

Happy with purchase!
