Thanks for elaborating, but looking at Zwilling pepper mills they only/mainly seem to focus on electric mills, whereas I don't know why anyone would buy an electric mill unless they were milling industrial amounts of pepper or something. If you're going for a BIFL pepper mill, then the obvious choice would be a non-electric one, which I think everyone here including me is discussing.

I don't doubt your explanation that Zwilling is a higher quality brand overall though.

My Zassenhaus has a ceramic grinder with that 25 year warranty which seems pretty unbreakable. The body is lacquered wood and seems durable, certainly if I keep it away from heavy moisture. The milling action is quite nice feeling. How is it cheap crap?

It's weird to see Peugeot mill recommendations so often when past discussions on this sub singled them out as a company that has degraded in quality over the last decade(s) and that there are more BIFL options out there. I went out of my way to get a Zassenhaus instead, who offer a 25 year warranty on the ceramic grinder.
