History

In 1810 the Peugeot Brothers converted the mill inherited from their mill ancestors into a steel mill. since then, rolled steel has been at the heart of Peugeots activities. Saw blades and tools led to a wide and various range of manufactured products: from Crinolines, to sewing machines, sheep-shearer to penny-farthing bicycles and finally cars.
In 1840 the Peugeot coffee mill entered the kitchen and opened the way for the pepper mill in 1874.
Since then many spices have felt the lions claw.

Spices come in many varieties so they cannot all be ground with the same mechanism. For this reason Peugeot has developed mechanisms with specific characteristics and designs, each adapted to a particular spice: pepper, salt, dry herbs, nutmeg, chilli pepper, wet sea salt...

Thanks to a permanent innovation and the use of new materials, Peugeot now offers a very large range of mills. Traditional, electric or equipped with the patented adjustable grinding system, the Peugeot mill became the reference.

An evolution more than a reference, our new graphic charter retains the distinctive signs and values of our trademark, but renders them in a modern style carrying the symbols of luxury.

The resylized lion, determined and elegant, expresses innovation and drive.
The arrow, a historic symbol since the trademark was first filed in 1850, refers to quality, energy and progress.
The typography has been redesigned in a lighter style while retaining a vintage aspect.

The new colours position the trademark at the top of the range. Each range will have its colour, defining the concept of  "flavours"

Mechanisms

Pepper mill mechanism
The pepper mechanism is equipped with a helix shaped double row of teeth that guide and hold peppercorns for a perfect grind.
It has a patented treatment that protects the steel from corrosion while maintaining its sharpness and wear resistance.

Salt Mill Mechanism
The Peugeot salt mechanism is designed to grind cooking salt.
It is made of stainless steel and is not sensitive to salt corrosion.

Wet Sea Salt Mechanism
A specially designed mill for wet sea salt.
The natural consistency and moisture content do not allow the use of an ordinary salt mill.
A spiral guides the salt ensuring that it does not stick together.

Spice mill Mechanism
The Peugeot spice mechanism provides high performance for grinding spices and dried aromatic herbs such as basil, thyme, parsley, cumin, coriander seeds etc...
Its shape is studied to prevent friction, and provides excellent breakage and wear resistance.

Chilli Pepper Mechanism
The chilli pepper mechanism is a Peugeot exclusive product.
This patented model has a pre-cutting system and a mechanism thats grinds dry chilli pepper.
Like the pepper grinder it has a patented treatment that protects the steel from corrosion while maintaining its sharpness and wear resistance.
