Peugeot Paris u'Select 9-inch Pepper Mill, Chocolate — PEFC Beechwood, Stainless-Steel Mechanism

The Peugeot Paris u'Select 9-inch pepper mill in Chocolate is a handcrafted beechwood grinder with a patented u'Select system for consistent, adjustable pepper grinds.

Combining Peugeot’s centuries-long milling expertise with a modern French aesthetic, this 9-inch Paris mill delivers reliable, even grinding and an elegant presence at the table. Finished in a metallic chocolate tone over PEFC-certified beechwood, it’s built for daily use: a stainless-steel mechanism resists corrosion while the two-stage gear design cracks and then grinds peppercorns to the setting you choose.

How does the u’Select mechanism let me control pepper texture?

The u’Select system provides six discrete grind settings that lock in once chosen, so you get repeatable results from very fine to very coarse. It’s engineered to first crack peppercorns and then refine them, preserving aromatics at each stage without overworking the spice.

• Six numbered settings for predictable results
• Two-stage process: crack then grind for full flavor release
• Simple twist adjustment that stays put during use

What materials and construction make this mill durable?

Peugeot uses a treated stainless-steel grinding mechanism formulated specifically to resist wear and corrosion when working with pepper. The body is PEFC-certified beechwood with a durable water-based metallic finish that resists staining and fits everyday tabletop use.

• Stainless-steel gears with anti-corrosion treatment
• PEFC-certified beechwood from sustainable forests
• Protective water-based anthracite/chocolate finish

How will this mill change the flavor of my dishes?

Adjusting grind size alters how pepper releases aroma and heat: very fine brings immediate spice and surface seasoning, while coarser grinds intensify aromatic oils and textured bursts of flavor. The controlled two-stage grind helps maximize pepper’s complexity without generating uniform dust.

• Fine setting: quick, evenly distributed heat
• Medium: balanced aroma and texture for cooking
• Coarse: bold aroma, visual appeal, and bursty flavor

How do I maintain and refill the Paris u’Select mill?

Maintenance is straightforward: wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and avoid soaking the wooden body. Refill from the top by unscrewing the knob and pouring in peppercorns; periodic cleaning of the grinding chamber keeps performance steady.

• Wipe wood with a damp cloth; do not submerge
• Unscrew top knob to refill with whole peppercorns
• Occasional dry brushing removes trapped particles

Who is this for? The Peugeot Paris u’Select 9-inch pepper mill is suited to home cooks, professional chefs, and table hosts who want a reliable, adjustable grinder that pairs French design with practical performance. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a durable, sustainably sourced wooden mill that offers precise control over pepper texture and flavor while doubling as an elegant tabletop piece.
