Need New Pepper Grinders

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I keep two coffee grinders for my black pepper. One fine and one course. Couple weeks ago the fine broke. I making couple rubs today, my favorite Jeff's Sweet Heat and also Jeff Phillips original and now my course one broke. The part that turns the rod is made of plastic. Any recommendations? I do like the way the handles fold on the ones I have now.

I got these for either Christmas or my B-day about 10-12?? years ago and have never had a problem with them.

Thanks for reply. I have some for regular use but need something that will grind a lot of pepper fast.

Manual grinders are all about whatever fits your hands. That's the most important thing, especially if you're cranking a lot of pepper. Capacity, consistency, and price matter, but not as much if you start to cramp up after just a few twists.

After a certain point, I like plug-in electric spice grinders - especially this Cuisinart, but there are others, too. Works great for incorporating other spices (whole cinnamon, Szechuan pepper, cloves, etc.), freshly grinding coffee (cleaning out the cinnamon dust beforehand is optional, imho), even breaking down nuts.

Wife bought me the Pepper Cannon a while back. It is expensive but it is the best grinder I have ever had. It grinds extremely fine to very course and very fast. mannkitchen.com

Original Greek Pepper Mill​

This is the Mack Daddy of pepper mills. Had mine for over 15 years. For big jobs (like brisket) you can remove the handle and put your drill motor on it.

You had me sold at "put your drill motor on it."

Mrs. Llama is going to think I've really gone mad.

I have a really decent set. When I get home I'll look to see who makes them.

That a nice unit but more than I can afford.

Does it adjust?

Also you can consider a coffee burr grinder for large volume. Can do any size grind you want, and do it pretty quickly.

I have a Krups from Amazon. I think it was about $50.

can't help with the grinders. I usually buy the quart sized Kirkland coarse black pepper and store in a suction container. For dinner , for table use we have two usb electric grinders, one with coarse sea salt and the other with tri-color pepper. It took us about 5 sets of Chinese crap to find a pair that works continually. They are now discontinued, but with proper care continue to function fine for table use. I would never even try a bulk grind with them. If for some reason I would need a tbl or two of "fresh" black pepper I would use my grinder and peppercorns, though i wonder of the freshness of store bought pepper corns.

Thanks.

Yes... There is a phillips head screw at the bottom to adjust the coarseness of the grind

OXO for every day, cheap bur grinder for volume.

Watching this thread closely. Anyone with electric recommendations? One hand operation is nice. But the two sets I've bought were broken in 3 months
