Best Pepper Mills of 2025

“I've been using the OXO Good Grips Contoured Mess-Free Salt Grinder, and I must say, it's a fantastic kitchen tool. The contoured shape makes it really comfortable to hold, even when my hands are wet. I love the mess-free mechanism that keeps salt contained, and the adjustable grind settings let me customize the coarseness easily. Plus, the clear acrylic body allows me to see how much salt is left, which is super convenient!”

“I absolutely love my new OXO pepper mill! It’s high-quality and really easy to use. The adjustable grind option is a game changer, and I’m impressed by how smoothly it turns. It even arrived full of peppercorns! I should have bought this sooner, as it makes seasoning so much easier and more enjoyable.”

“This salt grinder works just fine for me. The burrs grind salt well, but the settings feel a bit gimmicky. Still, the overall construction is thoughtful, and I got a good deal on it, even with the delivery fee from Amazon Fresh.”

"I've been using two old pepper grinders for years, but I finally decided to treat myself to the Peugeot grinders in chocolate brown and natural wood. I absolutely love them! They grind effortlessly, and adjusting the grind size is a breeze with the wooden collar at the base. The aesthetic is also a plus; they look great on my counter!"

"After reading reviews, I took the plunge and bought the Peugeot pepper mill. What a GAMECHANGER! It delivers the grind I want without the hassle of a loose top screw. The grind selection is fantastic, allowing me to achieve everything from superfine to coarse. Plus, it’s sturdy and totally worth the price!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this pepper mill. I can easily adjust the grind flow, and it looks amazing on my dining table. Definitely a quality product that I'm proud to use!"

"I really appreciate the stylish copper design of my Cole & Mason grinders. They not only look great on my window sill but also complement my antique faucet perfectly. The adjustable grind feature allows me to easily select from fine to coarse, and I'm very satisfied with the quality."

"After replacing my old Cole & Mason pepper grinder, I was thrilled to find this model. It holds enough salt and pepper, and I love being able to see how much is left. The grind adjustment is near the bottom, making it easy to customize, and it looks beautiful on my table."

"I love these Cole & Mason grinders! They are high quality and easy to operate, making them perfect for my tender hands. I was so impressed with the pepper grinder that I bought the salt grinder too. They make a fantastic gift as well!"

"I've been using this grinder for 1.5 years daily, and it’s fantastic! The prepackaged pepper is nothing compared to fresh ground. I use lots of peppercorns for every meal. Highly recommend!"

"After two years of use, my grinder stopped working because it got damp. A quick clean of the ceramic teeth, and it’s as good as new. It’s not the biggest, but it holds plenty of peppercorns and works great!"

"This grinder is simply beautiful and ergonomic. I’ve only had it for a day, but so far, it grinds well and is incredibly inexpensive. It’s definitely the best one I’ve tried!"

“I’ve been obsessed with this pepper mill! It’s not just beautiful; it also grinds exceptionally well and smoothly. I loved it so much that I bought a second one in natural wood for salt. 10/10, would purchase from this company again!”

“After years of frustration with cheap grocery store grinders, I did my research and discovered the Peugeot Paris. The grind is consistent and at my ideal coarseness. The flavor is bolder than anything I’ve ever bought before. Plus, it looks fantastic!”

“This grinder works very well and is easy to refill. It matches perfectly with my Peugeot Salt Mill, making it a great addition to my kitchen.”

"I needed a reliable pepper mill, and after reading mixed reviews, I decided to go for this one. I’m pleasantly surprised! It grinds a lot of pepper quickly with just a few turns, and the crank is smooth. I’ve been using it daily, and it feels well-made. At only $12, it was a great risk to take!"

"Having used various grinders, I can confidently say this one is the best. Easy to fill and grinds efficiently! However, I did have issues with the handle breaking after a year. I found a workaround using a ratchet, which makes it more ergonomic, but I hope they improve the handle material in the future."

"We really love fresh ground pepper! This grinder works wonderfully and produces a decent amount of pepper quickly. It’s effective and easy to use. The only downside is that the fill door doesn’t close tightly, but that’s manageable. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase!"

"As a fresh cracked pepper enthusiast, I've tried many mills, but this one stands out with its six distinct grind settings. The grinding mechanism is like butter, and it smoothly transitions from cracking to grinding. Even though I preferred the chocolate color, the natural lacquered white looks beautiful. At 16 inches, it fits perfectly in my collection, and the price was simply irresistible!"

"I'll never return to pre-ground pepper! This mill is a game changer. I use it multiple times daily, and my only regret is that it doesn't hold a month's supply of peppercorns. It's a Wirecutter pick, and I'm thrilled with my choice!"

"Having waited for years to get a Peugeot pepper mill, I finally bought one. It offers six grind settings and came with peppercorns to start. While I find it a bit hard to adjust to the first setting, the second produces a finer grind than store-bought options. It's slightly tiring to use for larger amounts, but it's worth it. I love this mill and hope to enjoy it for many years!"

"I really enjoy fresh pepper in my recipes! I found a matching salt grinder at a local store, and together they look fantastic on the table as a centerpiece. I highly recommend KitchenAid products!"

"I love the sleek look of this grinder on my countertop. It grinds well and I haven't experienced any spillage when it's not in use. I've had no trouble removing the lid, even with press-on nails, unlike some other reviews."

"While this grinder looks great and performs well, I struggle with it due to arthritis. My husband has difficulty too, as it requires a strong grip to operate. It seems sturdy and the price was reasonable, but it's not ideal for those with limited hand strength."

"I think this is a very good pepper grinder. It holds a decent amount of peppercorns, and the grinding mechanism is superb."

"While my other grinder was good for salt, this one perfectly grinds pepper. The wooden design is well made and looks nice."

"I found that this grinder can grind peppercorns to any texture, from coarse to powder. It's cheaper than those plastic ones from Walmart, and I love the beautiful wood."

"I absolutely love this pepper mill! It's durable, heavy, and a true powerhouse against peppercorns. After struggling with various grinders, I finally found one that doesn’t waste my pepper and gives me the perfect amount with just a couple of turns. **The quality is top-notch, and I appreciate the research I did to find it—definitely worth every penny!"

"This grinder is fantastic! It holds a lot of salt, and I don’t have to refill it often. My roommate, who cooks for an online BBQ account, finds it super easy to use during her videos. It's a bit pricey, but the quality makes it worth it."

"I’ve finally found the Bentley of pepper mills! It's well-made and has a nice weight to it. Using it with Tellicherry peppercorns has been a game changer for my dishes. I highly recommend splurging on this product!"
