PEUGEOT produced its first grinding mechanisms in 1842, with the introduction of their first coffee mill. Largely the same design today as it was then, that mechanism was the basis for PEUGEOT’s famous pepper mechanism, first unveiled in 1874 and now the industry standard.

PEUGEOT mechanisms are finely-crafted kitchen tools and as such, are specialized in their function. There are currently six different spice-specific mechanisms and one coffee mechanism offered by PEUGEOT, each designed to deliver optimal grind results, from consistency of grind size to maximizing the flavors and aromas.
