Looking for advice on a pepper mill. A fast pepper mill, something that will put some serious pepper on a salad or meat for the grill.
Prefer a crank style but output is more important. I don't mind if it twists or cranks hard if the pepper is flying out.
Any other pepper lovers here? Appreciate any tips.

+1 The Unicorn Magnum mills aren't the most stylish but they have a wide range of adjustment and better through-put than others I've tried. I use a lot of black peppercorns, have them in the Unicorn and use a nicer looking Peugeot for white pepper, which isn't used as often.

+3 for the Magnum mills. I've had mine for over a decade and it's still going strong despite being occasionally used in a professional kitchen.

We use Turkish coffee mills. Plenty of hopper space, serious output, and a crank. If one wants to crank once for the week it has a hopper below that catches the freshly ground pepper. I've used them for decades and have never regretted buying them. They'll easily last us the rest of our lives.
This is very similar to what I bought all those years ago. https://www.amazon.com/Pepper-Mill-Impor...offee+mill

The Unicorn Magnum arrived today. This IS a pepper mill for pepper people.
Glad you like it. Word of wisdom, watch your hand placement. I was peppering some scrambled eggs for a group of ten last weekend, and my hand got too high and I opened the loading ring. Whole peppercorn scrambled eggs for everyone.

Read about that quirk with the loading ring. We've been practising tonight.
