Another Unicorn Magnum great business story.
You fill the grinder by rotating a collar, problem being the grinder rotates the same way. So if you have bigger hands or your hand slips down to the fill collar said collar will open and if topped off pepper corns spill out. Years later i.e., now, I sent Unicorn an email suggesting they change the opening direction of the fill collar. Same day response below:
"Thank you for buying our Magnum grinders. I'm not sure how old your grinders are, but years ago we made adjustments to the loading ring and it's virtually impossible for the loading ring to open without real effort. The loading ring won't open under regular use. If you would like to send your mills to us, we can make the change to your grinders so there won't be an issue going forward."
No charge, I just pay one way shipping.
The battery powered ones are good for people that have limited dexterity. If you need extreme quantities of pepper, you should break out the power tools:
How old is that videoGood luck finding a 35mm film canister these days!
Uploaded 8 years ago but my guess is closer to 20 years since it was made. Back in the heyday of Good Eats.How old is that video
Darren the wood that pepper mill is sitting on maybe as old as the company.Gonna get this Peugeot electric one as a travel grinder, been too busy to order it but will do soon. At home I've been typically using a manual Peugeot or a mortar 'n' pestle.

Hahaha! Yeah.Darren the wood that pepper mill is sitting on maybe as old as the company.
I gave two Peugeots as Christmas presents. I have a Cole & Mason that’s probably 10 years old and still works like new. I’d like to have a Peugeot though, because I like their story and aesthetic.I love my Peugeot. It’s the classic mill.
Well you’ll have some really nice local options there in the Bay Area. But I use Spice House out of Evanston(Chicago)IL. Everything I get is always really fresh and potent. Cambodian Kampot pepper is outstanding and their black tellicherry is really sharp and spicy. I also have red and white from them.The red is also Kampot. Salt I don’t know about. I’m a simple David’s kosher and Maldon user.I got a pair of these for Christmas. In addition to 12 rechargeable AAA batteries

I'm partial to my Peugeots for seasoning, but the battery-drive will be a nice alternative to a coffee/spice grinder for brisket, et al.
@MarcelNL @Michi and others: I'm looking for suggestions for pepper corns and salt to try with them.
@Borealhiker thanks. I always forget about the peppercorn rabbit hole until I need some, then I pick up what I can find at the supermarket. I’ll check out Spice House Kampot. What’s the shelf life?Well you’ll have some really nice local options there in the Bay Area. But I use Spice House out of Evanston(Chicago)IL. Everything I get is always really fresh and potent.

If you come into SF, I buy pepper and spices from SF Herb on 14th St in the Mission….
I came across long pepper when shopping. I had no idea. Guess I'm down the rabbit hole now! I will check out Wayanad and Bucay.I also like Wayanad and Bucay pepper a lot, Kampot and Tellicherry are great too!
What you also may like in a rub is some Assam pepper and a long pepper like long Kampot, both will not work in any mill, just crush them up in a vice.
