Peugeot PM11765 Review by Lachlan M. Simpson "Lachie Simpson" (Mildura,VIC, Australia)
This lovely little machine helps my classic Atomic make even better coffee. Biceps are getting good workout as well. The different grinds give me a flexibility with my other coffee makers as well.
Peugeot PM11765 Review by Retta "An American in Europe" (Belgium)
I was very excited about this coffee mill when I bought it, but over time, I've encountered a few disappointments. First, I noticed that every day, a couple of beans get themselves wedged behind the support frame. A minor nuisance. Second, the mechanism you use to adjust the size of the grind 'locked' itself into the super fine grind position. This now happens quite regularly. I have to get a wrench to unscrew it, as it is too tight to turn with my fingers. Lastly, I've noted lately that the color is bleeding onto the countertop. I have the black version of this mill, and whenever it encounters water on the counter, it bleeds. I would also agree with another reviewer that the size and shape of the drawer is awkward when dumping the grounds into a round French press. Having said all of that, it makes fabulous coffee!
Peugeot PM11765 Review by Buzzterbrown
Years ago I bought a cheap, $20, hand-cranked coffee grinder because I heard freshly ground coffee was the best, and those electric whizzing blade grinders (choppers really) heated the beans and left you with a non-uniform grind that made for inconsistent results.
The mechanism of that ridiculous and flimsy contraption would always unscrew as I used it, causing a loss of the grind setting, and sometimes the handle would fall off. Moreover, it took gorilla arms to operate as it often got stuck, as if a rock was mixed in the beans. I soldiered on for a few months but eventually I threw it out and went back to the grocery store grinder.
A year ago I tried that cheap Black and Decker burr grinder (again $20, at Target) but it was noisy (like a DustBuster) and produced inconsistent results (a mixture of powder and chunks) for my drip coffee maker.
Then I saw this Peugeot while traveling but I couldn't carry it with me so I bought it here cause I couldn't find it anywhere else. I'm surprised it's not carried by Williams-Sonoma - this is a quality item.
As someone accustomed to working in a machine shop where all manner of cutting tools are employed the first thing that struck me about the Peugeot is the actual burr grinding mechanism itself. I'm just speculating but it looks as though the burr is machined from a solid piece of metal using a CNC mill or lathe. It's exquisite and intricate in design with nice sharp edges, and resembles a helix, like a stacked, twisted deck of cards. In my old grinder the burr was black cast iron, its edges were rounded, and there were holes in it from air bubbles indicating a pretty poor casting. The metal in the Peugeot grinder is shiny and reflective, like nickel or chrome plating, but I'm sure it's not plated because plating would probably come off. I'm really very curious about how they made this.
Anyway I'm very pleased. The whole grinding mechanism of this Peugeot grinder is stout and robust. Beans are easy to grind and the grind is uniform. The crank handle is 4" long. It takes me 45-60 seconds to grind enough for two cups. It's fun too - maybe they could add a music box to it. The grind setting doesn't change with use as it did on my cheap grinder. The body and knob are made from real solid wood - not plastic or particle board. It's so old-fashioned and rugged, it's the diametric opposite of an Iphone, but I value them equally. It looks like it's going to last a very long time.
Sure it cost more (yet half the price of the highly rated Kitchenaid grinder), but it works - it really works! And after a few trial runs to set the texture of the grind, I'm enjoying tasty and delicious coffee. The aroma once lost in the grocery store is now in my kitchen and in my cup. In short, there's more coffeeness in my cup.
This is going to make a great Christmas gift for the coffee lovers on my list.
PS - I use freshly roasted beans. I brew with a french press, steeped for 2-3 minutes, then poured through a paper filter to remove sediment.
PPS - Things that could improve this machine. These are very minor quibbles.
(a) Grind setting mark. I turned the adjustment nut all the way to the top (finest setting) and put a line on it from the front with a permanent marker. I turn it downwards while counting the number of turns to get my grind setting - about 1 and 1/2. Once it's there it stays there.
(b) Rubber feet so that it grips the counter top.
