   ANOTHER UPDATE: Yes, three years ago Unicorn did replace the mill and sent me a new one (as recorded below), but my mill just BROKE, and I mean the entire top just crumbled into pieces of plastic in my hands!. We use this mill a lot, but it’s not like it gets abused or knocked around. I was always a little cautious about Unicorns all thin plastic construction, and now I know I was wise. It still grinds pepper, even with it’s plastic head shattered, so the mechanism works well for sure.I guess I should be happy that I got about five years from two of these units–they do work so well–but I guess like a fine pan or dish, I just expect it to work and work and work… I checked and it only comes with a 1 year warranty, so I’m outta luck getting it replacedI spent some time over the last few months–since the Magnum fell apart–testing and looking at other pepper mills, and I have ended up ordering another Magnum. I love the mill and the company service, and have not found any other mill on the market that grinds a lot of pepper as fast as the Magnum, ideally with wooden or metal construction. I want a mill that will see at least a decade, but that doesn’t make you grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind all afternoon to get a teaspoon of pepper. So far the Magnum–with it’s less than ideal plastic construction and all–is the best, most efficient pepper mill I have experienced._______________________________________________________________________________________________________UPDATE: Some one commented to me here that Unicorn had changed the design on these mills, so that the door no longer came open when using–and that the company would replace my older mill if I contacted them. So I did contact them, and they exchanged my mill and WOW–the new design is GREAT! The refilling door now NEVER opens when using the mill, and in fact sometimes I have to really put some effort into opening the door when refilling! I love it! This mill is now perfect, and the customer service from the manufacturer–years after purchase–was outstanding! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this pepper mill!!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ORIGINAL REVIEW:This, as many have also posted here, is probably the best pepper mill I have ever used. It grinds exceptionally well, with a turn or two of the grinder producing plenty of pepper for most uses. When I need 1.5 TBL’s for my fried chicken recipe, it takes only 8 seconds and maybe a half dozen turns to make that much pepper. Amazing and wonderful after years of Mickey-Mouse grinders from the middle east that require turning and grinding and more turning to ever get even a pittance of pepper! The only NEGATIVE is that the round sliding door on the side, where you load the peppercorns (which makes loading tons of peppercorns a breeze), will often slide open during usage, and sometimes (when the mill is full), peppercorns will come spilling out everywhere. And does anything go rolling all over the kitchen, making much to clean up, more than peppercorns! Really is a wonderful mill, but you really have to watch that door! This mill requires a harder turn, it has a stiffer grinding action (but unlike the others, you can actually get decent amounts of pepper out of it!), and as careful as I am, I often see that the little round door has slide open. To minimize peppercorns all over the place, I no longer fully fill the mill with peppercorns–I only fill it to below the sliding door; then if the door accidentally slides open, peppercorn spillage is minimized. It still is a good amount of peppercorns in storage though…

   There are only 2 high-end pepper mills a home cook needs to consider. They are the Unicorn Magnum and the Peugeot Paris U’Select. In short, the Magnum is perfect for any home cook. You only need the U’Select if you routinely prefer its select-a-grind or design. They’re both lovely, and will make you very happy.Features of the Unicorn Magnum:Made of black plastic. It looks great in any kitchen. It will survive lots of casual abuse. Just don’t smack it hard on tile or granite, and it will hold up a long time.Holds a boatload of peppercorns. Most mills have a ~1″ wide channel to hold peppercorns. In the Magnum, the whole outer casing is hollow. This is maximum storage.Gigantic grind. The 9/inch Magnum has a gigantic metal burr, meaning you can feed any number of people quickly even if you want a fine grind.Easy to adjust. Turn the adjuster screw on the bottom, try a test grind, repeat until you have a setting you like. You’ll eventually learn partial adjustments if you need to change. There’s no indicator of where you’re stopped, so you always have to do a test grind to check where you left of – if you change. When you select one grind all the time (coarse for cooking) you never have to worry.Easily loads using the side hole. Some people claim it’s easy to spill all the peppercorns. This shouldn’t be an issue. Hold the grinder on the bottom and the twist top, and you’ll never have an issue.Features of the Peugeot U’Select:Made of stained, polished wood. The Peugeot is gorgeous. It has a classic look that goes with most kitchens.Select-a-grind. Has labels from a fine grind to coarse. The coarse grind is perfect for grilling and most cooking. The finer grinds are better for eggs and so on – I find a setting of 3 is about right for omelettes. The only problem with the dial is that the fine grind doesn’t go to a total powder. I’ve found for some applications – such as cocktails – I could use one step finer than the dial goes by default. But for most cooking, the dial in fine.The dial is sensitive. You’re supposed to use the dial only for changing grinds. I had the misfortune of using the dial all the time while I was grinding until I cracked it. That’s my bad, and I retired the Peugeot to my downstairs bar. I’ll try to fiddle with the selection to make it a little finer.On the finest grinds, the Peugeot does have a smaller burr, meaning it can take quite a while to make an amount of pepper. If you’re like me maybe you just love the gorgeous carved pepper mill, but other people might find it a bother.Overall:If you only need one grind on a regular basis, the Magnum is the best thing out there. Set it and forget it. The large capacity, easy loading, and minimalist looks are perfect for anyone. The Peugeot is a little more fiddly, with a lower capacity and classic looks, but it has the grind selection. Personally, I think I’m moving to Peugeot exclusively. 95% of the time I’m using a coarse grind for cooking. I have a separate grinder at the table for finishing meals, so I no longer need the U’Select. Even if I need a specific grind, I have a mortar and pestle. The Peugeot is lovely, but the Magnum is for me.

   Works great but the top gets very slippery if hands are slightly wet or greasy while cooking making it hard to use. I first bought the Unicorn Pepper stick (which I loved and frankly now realise that I prefer) because the Magnum Plus was unavailable due to supply chain issues. I bought the Magnum Plus once it became available and gave the Pepperstick away. My perfect pepper mill would have the capacity of the Magnum Plus and the top turning mechanism of the Pepperstick. I never leave such long winded reviews but I’m unusually passionate about black pepper!!

   We bought our first grinder 16 years ago. It has heald up great, only reason we had to buy a second one we because recently it was dropped and fell apart due to impact. And as far as I can tell it is still made in America. We go out of our way to purchase “made in the USA”

   I have read about this pepper grinder from comments on Facebook, this thing is amazing. Easy to load and can grind pepper to really fine like the ground pepper you can purchase at the store. I couldn’t justify Mannkitchen’s peppercannon for over $200, this has been perfect substitute for me and does everything I need. Again, fantastic product!

   This is hands down the absolute best pepper grinder on the market. If you’re thinking “that’s stupid” or “who cares” then yea, this isn’t probably something you need BUT if you are a kitchen geek or a frequent home cook you will be thrilled to use this guy. It just feels better to use and is so well made you will be shocked at how crunchy and prehistoric your old pepper mill will feel after using this one. One of those few times where someone actually improved an old kitchen standard with new technology. Also it is way easier to refill and holds a lot more than classic pepper mills twice its size.
