Unicorn Magnum Peppermill

I’ve been using this pepper mill since 2006, so 20 years. I’ve had the exact same one in my kitchen all this time, and it works the same as the day I bought it. Compared to most pepper mills it’s inexpensive, especially for the performance that you get out of it. Of all the pepper mills out there, it has the the most rapid dispersion. If you compare the amount of pepper you get out of a grind from the Unicorn compared to a Peugeot or one of the other popular brands, it’s three or four times more. It’s just this big shower of pepper. It makes cooking much faster.

It has a completely adjustable grind size, so you can get everything from like, dust to a really coarse grind. It also has this unique side-loading mechanism where you never have to take the top off. A lot of pepper mills, you adjust the grind size with a little screw on the top. But that screw is also what holds the top of the pepper mill on. So as you’re grinding it, the top spins around, and it loosens or tightens that grinder so you don’t get a consistent grind. Whereas with the Unicorn, the grinding adjustment is on the bottom, so you’re never touching it when you’re grinding. The loading mechanism is not on the top either, so there’s no interference between loading the pepper mill, using the pepper mill, and the grind size.
