Germans are known around the world for good engineering. They have a long tradition of solid design and craftsmanship in many areas, from automobiles to electric razors.
But when it comes to cuisine-related apparatus, you can't beat the French.
My new Peugeot pepper mill is a masterwork of form and function. It's processing of peppercorns has no equal. Smooth like butter, this thing easily grinds pepper in any size from big crushed chunks to almost powder, and anything in between. And it does so in style: it's dark chocolate hardwood finish looks fantastic. I have had many many pepper mills in my life, even German models, and none has even come close to this one in terms of quality and function.
You may think this is a little issue, but when you cook as often as I do, it becomes a pretty dig deal - after all, pepper goes into almost everything I make. It's the savory equivalent of what vanilla is in the baking world.
So, Malabar & Tellicherry, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Don't forget to put it on a piece of meat wrap paper when you store it. I have another friend that had a Peugeot and it left oil stains all over his driveway.
If all else fails, you can use it to replace the leg on your dining room table should the leg ever break.
Peugeot cars, no, pepper mills, yes.
So you're the one that buys those things! I never knew anyone else that ever bought fancy peppermills.
