Lost In Xanadu Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 strange thread... but we only have fresh ground in our house. We don't have any pre-ground pepper. And we have 3 pepper mills. 1 with just black. 1 with just white. 1 with the green and pink and black all mixed up. The local spice places calls it "royal medley" I also use fresh ground grains of paradise quite often, but not enough to have it's own mill. I just use a mortar and pestle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Its the staple in our house. I have not personally bought ground black pepper in 40 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Love fresh ground black pepper, been using it for over 30 years. Recently been going the fresh ground salt route too, mostly Himalayan pink salt. Good stuff! Edited April 3, 2014 by pjbear05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm also a fan. I've gone through a few pepper mills and love the one I have now. Found it at Target of all places. I use pepper with almost every dish I make. I do have ground pepper in the spice cabinet but I rarely use it. The difference in quality is night and day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Post your pepper mills! I am posting mine in the order in which I like them. The one on the right.... Very sturdy, easy grinding, has a sleeve it fits into that collects grindings, making it easy to measure (if needed)http://www.busyboo.com/wp-content/uploads/metal-pepper-mill-imports.jpg We have one like this, but has a crank on the top. We have a small version of this one on the table (which I didn't even count originally)http://lghttp.21049.nexcesscdn.net/809F1B/mage/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/449x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/h/chef-specialties-wood-pepper-mill-windsor-walnut-18150-popup.jpg This one... we don't use often, so I put the white pepper in herehttp://images1.vat19.com/covers/large/pepperball-pepper-grinder.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anima Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Ours is exactly like the middle photo. It was part of a wedding present over 20 years ago and probably one of the ones we use most often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fiddle around with pepper mills, either. I buy the McCormick Black Peppercorn Grinders and toss them out when they're empty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsterfurious Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Mmmmm that's all we use at home. I get a really good sized grinder for $1.99 at Trader Joe's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an Atlas brand made in Greece I believe. 100% bronze with stainless steel grinding mechanism. The Atlas on the top right looks like it holds half the amount of peppercorns, compared to the Atlas on the right. We have had ours for over 20 years with zero issues. The two screws on the side are to remove/replace the grinding mechanism in case it ever needs to be replaced.Not many grinders can be rebuilt like the Atlas.IMO its the Cadillac of pepper mills.

Buy one per lifetime is my motto. I always have to tell my wife to buy stuff that she can give to our grandkids when we are gone.Don't waste money on crap that will be gone in no time. Quality furniture comes to mind.That grinder was a lot of money back when we bought it. But still is like new. So it was the best deal.
