Why It's Cool: Beautiful classic design in brushed stainless steel, with all the necessary functionality using modern materials

I’ve always been a fan of manual pepper mills, probably stemming from being impressed at an early age when the waiter asked if I would like freshly ground pepper on my dish, how he artfully dusted my plate, and the sound of grinding next to my ear … and it made my dish beautiful and delicious! I guess I was an impressionable child, and that’s one impression I’ve never lost.

We have tested and identified several electric salt and pepper mills but, until now, have devoted little attention to manual mills … in the interim we have tested quite a number of manual mills and developed some interesting testing and analysis criteria.

There are several functional features to consider. First, of course, all mills grind salt or pepper, and some can do both. Most mills are adjustable, but the methods and degrees of adjustment vary. And the major issue for any mill is throughput: does it do a good job of grinding pepper evenly and efficiently, in a reasonable quantity?

And then there are the design issues: in addition to the “how does it work?” questions, there is the basic “what does it look like?” question. Classic? or Modern? Are the adjustment controls clearly visible and easy to use? Can you see how much salt or pepper remains in the mill, so you won’t run out in the middle of cooking or eating? So much, and more, to consider, for such essential tools!

The Trudeau Professional Mills are the modern reminders of those childhood memories ... the classic shape we all remember, but rendered in stainless steel. 

This pepper mill has a helix-shaped carbon steel grinder and features a stainless steel shaft for strength and durability, and a spring-loaded mechanism engineered to deliver a consistent grind. It's easily refillable from the top, and adjustable by turning the P knob to your desired level of throughput. And this mill grinds both clockwise and counter-clockwise, with a scratch-resistant base to protect your counters or tabletop.

Beautiful classic design in brushed stainless steel, with all the necessary functionality using modern materials … truly a Cool Tool!
