Ground spices and coffee lose their aroma very quickly. Our recommendation: buy unground spices and coffee beans if possible. These can be stored in a dark place (aroma jar, cupboard, etc.) for a long period of time without any problems. WITHOUT any loss of quality! Ground spices, on the other hand, lose their fresh aroma and actually their character after just a few days. Spice mills are practical and allow you to process in small doses. Your hands are protected and your fingers stay clean.
The traditional company Peugeot has developed different grinders depending on the spice
Since their first invention in 1842, they quickly achieved world fame and are still considered the crème de la crème among spice mills today. The lion has symbolized the quality of Peugeot products since 1850, namely the strength of the teeth, flexibility of the blades and the speed at which spices and coffee beans are ground. What also makes them so special is their unique grinding mechanism, which gently releases the aromas. The patented coating also makes these little masterpieces very durable, so that they can sometimes even become heirlooms.
Pepper
The Peugeot pepper mills are characterized by their timeless and versatile design. In the patented grinder, peppercorns are neither crushed nor jammed, but ground precisely. This releases the full aroma. The patented u’Select technology, with which the grinding level in the base of the mill can be continuously adjusted, makes the mill perfect. With a simple movement of the hand, the grinding level of the pepper or salt mill can be adjusted as desired. The pepper releases all of its aromas best if you grind it at the last moment and pour it raw over the dishes you are serving, because pepper does not actually tolerate cooking well. There are many special and high-quality types of pepper, such as: B. Tasmanian pepper, pink pepper, etc.
Peugeot pepper mills are made from PEFC-certified wood, most of which comes from the forests of France-Comté (in eastern France). The chips and sawdust from production are collected and recycled. Solvent-free paints are used for the mills. Please only use your mill with the prescribed spices, as moist sea salt, for example, would cause a pepper mill to corrode.
Dry salt
The Peugeot salt mills are characterized by a timeless and versatile design. The salt mill's grinder has been specially developed for grinding dry, coarse salt. The new Daman designer salt mill is a real eye-catcher.
Moist salt
Moist sea salt requires a special grinder that cannot corrode. A ceramic grinder has therefore been developed. It is equipped with a spiral that mixes and guides the salt. The secret is the anti-blocking spiral system. The salt mill is suitable for Sel de Guérande, Fleur de Sel or Sal de Ibiza.
Nutmeg
The Peugeot nutmeg mills are a duo of a grating insert and a blade. This means that the nutmegs are grated very finely to release their subtle aroma. Optionally, there are nutmeg mills with a container/aroma protection in which the nuts remain and are stored until processing.
Chili
The grinding mechanism of the chili mill is an exclusive product from Peugeot. The patented model has a crushing system, which is a preliminary step in grinding. Like a pepper mill, the chili mill is treated against corrosion and stands for performance and a long shelf life. Chili is a very popular spice and is used in many different cuisines. The chili mills are ideal for using it in small doses and also to protect your hands.
Flaxseed
The linseed mill from Peugeot has a specially made grinding mechanism that is specialized in the hardness and consistency of the linseed. Carefully selected materials, such as beech wood from Franche-Comté, make this mill a practical and valued favorite.

Coffee grinders
The grinders of the coffee grinders are specially made for grinding coffee beans. They are able to grind coffee extremely finely and also enable the preparation of espresso. Inspired by earlier, classic models, they have a small drawer for freshly ground coffee.
