Dog Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I bought a Peugeot peppermill nearly five years ago as they were meant to be the best and last a lifetime. Well I should have died - the grinding mechanism is worn out. I love fresh pepper but surely the grinder should last longer than 5 years.I want to complain - these are meant to be the best in the world but I cannot find the Head Office of Peugeot peppermills in UK.Any idea how I can contact them?

buelligan Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I too love freshly ground pepper. I have had the same pepper mill for years. When I saw those Peugeot mills, I have to admit, I was mighty taken with them. Loved the design of the one I saw, and the idea that they were so well made added to my lust. But, having no disposeable income, I resisted my all-consuming desire to own one. You have no idea how happy you have made me by posting your sad news, Dog. Thank you for this unselfish act.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Buelligan I am so happy this small piece of consumer news has made you happy. I will not tell you about my nice shiny Mac that won't work with dialup using Orange as you may get too excited. I like to buy quality items, hopefully Peugeot want to keep their good name so I will chase them for a replacement.The UK Importer has now changed to: Chomette Dornberger - just the name I'd chose.

Chancer Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 All of the pepper mills that I have bought have not lasted very long, usually due to the working bits hidden beneath the impressive outer casing being plastic [:(]Then I bought some very impressive looking salt and pepper mills from Tesco and I am really impressed with them, they resemble a space hopper and you squeeze the handles in your fist to operate. The sliding grater is stainless steel and there hase been no degradation of performance yet.I have also given 3 sets away as presents that have been well recieved, dont bother with the tiny magnetic ones though, not man enough for a real pepper job!

water rat Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 We bought a peugeot mill at a brocante 5 years ago. It was old then ,but still works well. P'raps it's the older models that were well made and have stood the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
