LuvanSalt Grinder, Professional Grade Salt Mill with Unique Burr Grinder, 12 Adjustable Coarseness Settings, Lightning-Fast Grinding Speed, Heavy Duty Aluminum Manual Salt and Pepper Grinder

Cheap and doesn't work is the most expensive you thing you can buy, this grinder is the opposite expensive (for such a simple item) and really works well, this is the RR or Bently of grinders.First impression is it's rather large and heavy but above all it's well engineered, built to a principle not a price. The powder coating finish is a silky black, not matt not gloss - definitely chicEasy to grip with the knurled patterning (expensive to produce I'd guess) and twist and I have to say what an excellent grinder. The settings are easy to change, the grind is effortless and consistent and the pepper is produced in copious quantity, realeasing the aroma and bountiful taste.Theres a base cap too so the post grind detritus stays off the table - and it's sealed with an O ring to keep moisture out - nice design detail.Make a great gift for special friends too, as it's unlikely most won't have anything like this quality on their table.

I've been battling with rubbish pepper mills for years and wasted £45 every time on a Peugeot that never ground anything bigger than the smallest peppercorns, then gave up completely. I have been fixated on Peugeot being the name brand in pepper mills, based upon what my parents had in the 70s, but of course the same does not apply half a century later and I'm kicking myself for being so stupid as to think it would.Over £90 binned in eighteen months.I've since properly done my homework and realised that I needed either a Unicorn Magnum Plus or a MannKitchen Pepper Cannon. Sadly the Unicorn, from the USA, is not available at all, and the Pepper Cannon is £200. I was ready to pull the trigger on a Pepper Cannon, but then came across the Luvan, being not only a close replica (apart from the button release top), but actually using the same aerospace grade machined aluminium and 430 stainless steel grade burrs. The price at £59 was too good to overlook.It arrived today.It weighs a ton (539g empty, to be precise) Over half a kilo!The problems I've always had in the past are peppercorns that were too big for grinders. Not any more. This thing chews them up like tree-shredder. The grind adjustment is not notched or numbered, but then neither is the Cannon.Obviously I have no idea if it will last a lifetime, but I suspect it will from what I've felt and tried so far. Most importantly at just £12 more than a useless Peugeot it is insane value, and if it lasts five years it will still be worth it. There now seems to be very little point in spending £200 on the Pepper Cannon, because this is so close.This looks very new to the market and I suspect that when word gets around the price will double, because other Pepper Cannon replicas like the Hex generally sell for around the £130 mark. There is no way that this won't also find its way to that price when word gets around. At £59, this is insanely good value, and I am over the moon. I'm only sorry it's taken years for me to wake up. The build and materials used are such high quality that I honestly don't know how they make any money from this. It's definitely worth more.Let's see if it lasts ten years.

We have a pepper cannon, and I can say this is equivalent- functions just the same, it's slightly smaller, height wise but has a hefty weight to it. Very similar to pepper cannon, feels very durable with it's black metallic finish. Tons of pepper with a twist!Definitely would recommend, and at this price point, I think more fairly priced.

This is well worth the money. Having had several pepper mills, this one is the clear winner - that includes the Peugeot branded mill I bought and used for a month before it went to the charity shop. This mill has plenty of filling room, a superb grinding mechanism and is definitely not going to the charity shop; a keeper.

Have been looking for 20 years. The search is over. This it well built and might be a copy of an overpriced pepper mill. I mean this one is pricey but OMG it is awesome. So just do if you have searched for a proper adjustable mill. A little tricky to fill but meh it holds loads and actually works.

No doubting how good this is at grinding. Loads of pepper from a single twist. Should it cost this mich though?

Best pepper mill I've ever had produces tons of pepper at whatever size I need. Built like a tank and very sturdy.

Just got the item today, so I can't comment on longevity, it appears to be very well built and honed out of solid metal, it seems to be a clone and similar in construction to the £200 Pepper Cannon. Well, does it grind well ? Yes 100%, it creates showers of pepper with little twisting required, as a pepper lover, I couldn't ask for a more apt device to drench all meals with peppery goodness! Its replacing a Peugeot model that in comparison supplied very little pepper and was continually becoming blocked and supplied no pepper, with me resorting to banging it on the kitchen worktops in the vain attempt it would supply peppery goodness once more. The grinder is also exceptionally easily to fill, thanks to the filling area being wide, which means I will no longer have peppercorns bouncing and pinging around the kitchen when filling is required. So Its a 5 from me, pepperify your life with this beast of a grinder!
