We've seen other salt and pepper mills from Peugeot before, but the Fidji Salt & Pepper Mills offers something a little bit different design-wise. They are made out of stainless steel and matte black or cherry hardwood. Each stands 8.25-inches tall and is easy to handle, thanks to the curving, modern shape of the mill. To produce the most ideal grind and ensure even distribution of seasoning from both the salt and the pepper, each has a grinder mechanism that is made of case hardened steel. Its action causes the peppercorns to crack in half before finely grinding them. Price: $90.

Peugeot Fidji Salt & Pepper Mills
Peugeot Coffee Mill
The Peugeot Coffee Mill is gorgeous, and a lovely alternative to an electric coffee grinder. This particular design is almost an exact replica of the one the company produced from 1879-1915. With a simple turn of the top crank, the Burr grinding gears will transform your roasted coffee beans to the grind of your choice, easily adjusting from fine to coarse. The machine is very quiet compared to most electric models and the classic styling make it a work of art that you'll want to display on the counter, not hide in a drawer or cabinet. Price: £60 (in dark walnut, pictured).
Gravity Salt and Pepper Mill
The Gravity Salt and Pepper Mill by Trudeau is unique in
that it has no buttons. It works simply by flipping the mill upside down - hopefully over a plate of food that you hope
to season - and it will turn on automatically, triggered by gravity and powered by 6 AAA batteries. The grinder can
handle either large crystal salt or pepper, but it comes already filled with mixed peppercorns. It also comes in green,
chrome and red, but the sleek sliver model is the most futuristic-looking, not to mention the least likely to end
up with unsightly fingerprints. Price: $26.95.Salt and Pepper by Peugeot
Slashfood likes to spice up their food, and
judging by the enthusiasm that they have for Peugeot's electric Salt and Pepper
Mills, they don't like to expend a lot of energy to do it. Fortunately for the diner who seeks convenience in
addition to good taste, these mills automatically grind up salt and pepper at the touch of a button, no twisting or
shaking necessary. The mills use mechanism that is nearly identical to the one that was invented by Peugeot for the
first pepper mills back in 1842. Price: $200.
