A similar pepper mill, made in the USA (not China) for a lower price: Unicorn Mills Magnum ($59) http://www.unicornmills.org/magnum-plus.html http://www.unicornmills.org/magnum-plus.html I have not tested either, though I have heard of the Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon and from what I know it is probably the best one you can get if you are not concerned with price. We are talking high-volume output, only one or two pumps needed per dish. Or as they say in the marketing, "Pepper your steak in 7 cranks instead of 70."

I was about to recommend this very mill. Have had it for just shy of 14 years, and it still makes great grinds.

  That said, I just looked through the Männkitchen website, and I'm sorely tempted.

I have one of those Peugeots, got it for my wedding, and thought I would love it. It's gorgeous, but sadly, it's just plain awful at doing what pepper mills are for: generating pepper. It's better as a forearm workout than as a grinder of pepper. Sad, but true. That Unicorn can't compete either, btw. Grind rate is much slower and it's made of plastic. Männkitchen's marketing sounds exaggerated...until you use the product. It's just unreal.

  Good data. Thanks!

  The unicorn may be slower than the cannon, but it is far faster and easier to use than every other pepper grinder I've had experience with, and it's much more affordable. Regarding the plastic exterior, it has endured across 2 continents for at least 8 years for me, so the plastic is not cheap.

I have had a unicorn for 5-6 years or so and am very happy with it. My only "complaint" is that you have to side load the peppercorns which can get messy. But otherwise the best I have ever used.
