The Pepper Cannon also has noteworthy nuance in its grind sizes: The coarse is very coarse, and the fine is very fine — the finest in our test — so you can crust a steak with large cracked pepper or dust on a powdery grind.

Salt Grinder with metal mechanism

The clear body lets you see when it’s time to reload, but take note that it does expose the peppercorns to light, which can degrade their potency over time.

If needed, you can wipe the outside of the mill with a damp cloth, but you want to avoid getting water inside the grinding mechanism. And never put a pepper grinder in the dishwasher. You don't want to trap water or debris inside the mill.

If there’s a jam, you can open the mill and tap to dislodge any partially ground peppercorns. Depending on the model, you can also loosen the nut that controls the grind size to help any trapped debris escape.

It's engineered with a two-stage grinding process: First, sharp teeth crack the whole peppercorns; then, a smaller set of teeth mill the cracked peppercorns. According to the brand, this allows a more uniform output, and we did find in our tests that the finest setting was very fine, and the coarse setting was nicely coarse.

Grinding your own pepper is an easy way to improve the flavor of your dishes. Whole peppercorns contain volatile oils that are released when the peppercorn is cracked. Because those oils dissipate quickly, the flavor diminishes over time (meaning the pre-ground stuff in the can isn't very flavorful). A pepper mill, also referred to as a pepper grinder, passes peppercorns through burrs to grind them into fragments, releasing oils and aromas that deliver a fresher and more potent pepper flavor. In short: Pepper from a mill is better.

The five settings for choosing the grind size are clearly marked and easy to select. It holds 62 grams (about 1/2 cup) of peppercorns, which is an efficient use of space for a grinder of this size.

We also considered the ease of operation — whether the model was difficult to turn, if applicable, or slippery — and whether the grind sizes were preset or manually selected.

The downside is that there's not a lot of differentiation in coarseness levels, and it's not always easy to dial back to fine from coarse. Also take note that it requires two AA batteries but does not include them.

This pick was one of the easiest to refill in our test: The bottom unscrews, allowing access to a wide mouth. It then grinds from the top, which means no mess when you set the grinder down after use.

It's somewhat slippery since it's all metal, so it's not the most ergonomic, but the tradeoff is that you won't need to produce as many turns to get the pepper you need.

The cannon name is accurate! The output dwarfed the others in our test, with the weight of the coarse grounds more doubling the next highest weight. This means it's easy to season large dishes and to generate heftier amounts needed for recipes.

FinaMill's grinder stood out for its versatility. It's designed as a universal motor that you click onto different pods that hold peppercorns, salt or some other types of spices, such as cumin seeds and dried rosemary.

We assessed whether there was a differentiation between the size of the fine, medium and coarse grinds for each as well as how the sizes compared across models.

If you're looking for a more rugged model to season foods while grilling outdoors, Peugeot's BBQ All-Terrain mill has a handle so it can hang from your grill. It also includes a built-in, automatic LED light for low-light conditions and rubber bumpers to make it more impact-resistant.

The unit is rechargeable: Simply store it in the charging base — which includes a removable crumb tray that catches loose grounds for easy cleanup — and an indicator light will let you know the grinder is ready. The grind size is adjustable from fine to coarse, but the dial does not include preset grind sizes.

✔️ Versatility: Consider the material of the grinding mechanism. If it doesn’t absorb odors (ceramic, for example), you may be able to switch between pepper and, say, cloves without mixing or tainting flavors. (But our pros recommend dedicating the grinder to pepper to ensure clear flavor.) Be careful when using a pepper grinder for salt — salt can be corrosive, and some salt-specific grinders are a better choice for the task.

✔️Grind size settings: Being able to adjust your grind size is important; it allows you to control the seasoning and texture in your dishes. Some pepper mills are designed with a dial that sets the grind size; you adjust it by rotating the base or by tightening or loosening a pin or screw. This gives you control, but you'll sacrifice consistency. Other pepper mills have preset settings: This ensures you’ll get the same grind results each time, but it lacks nuance. Electric grinders may also have preset settings or a dial that lets you swing between coarse and fine.

✔️ Opacity: Like olive oil, peppercorns are sensitive to light. Exposure to light can degrade the oils, and therefore the flavor, over time. Opaque grinders protect the peppercorns, but it's harder to tell when to refill, and they can be heavier. Grinders with a clear body expose the peppercorns but show you how much pepper you have left. If you choose a grinder with a clear body, opt for something smaller so you are more likely to use the peppercorns quickly.

This frequently asked question has an easy answer: There is no difference! Our kitchen experts confirm that these are "interchangeable terms for the same device, and you can use whichever name you prefer.”

We then evaluated the ease of returning to the fine setting from the coarse setting, which can be a challenge for many grinders: The coarse grounds can get stuck and make the adjustment difficult.

✔️ Ease of refill: Some mills and grinders have a narrow opening that makes it harder to smoothly funnel peppercorns into the chamber. Look for models with a large and easy-to-open access point.

Given that Peugeot arguably invented the pepper mill back in 1874, it's no surprise that this pick has a classic silhouette, making it perfect for kitchen-to-table use. It's carved from beechwood that's sourced in France and has a smooth, matte finish, so it looks and feels good.

Despite the center post inside the mill, we found it easy to fill with a push-bottom release on the lid and a wide mouth. It includes a cap on the bottom for mess-free storage as well as for collecting grounds for sprinkling by pinch or from the lid itself, which holds up to 1/3 cup of ground pepper.

✔️ Capacity: Mills are often sold with a height measurement listed. Generally speaking, a 12-inch mill will hold more peppercorns than a 6-inch mill. This affects how often you need to refill, the storage space required and how comfortable it will feel in your hand. Larger mills and grinders are often heavier as well, so if you have limitations, you might want to opt for a smaller model.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we tested 15 pepper mills from top brands to find the best of the best. Our picks include manual and electric models so you can find the right style for your kitchen.

✔️ Manual vs. electric: To use a manual pepper mill, you'll fill a chamber and then turn a portion of the mill to grind the pepper. For electric grinders, you’ll fill a hopper and then push a button to grind. An electric grinder can be a good choice for those with dexterity or hand-strength issues, as the repetitive motion of grinding can get tiring with manual models.

It has six fixed grinding settings that are easy to select and clearly labeled on the base of the mill. The grinding action was smooth. But it was somewhat difficult to refill, since it's designed with a center post to drive the grinder, and you must add the peppercorns around it.

We like how easy it is to change pods: Press down to release the current pod, then press the empty handle onto the next pod. And the single-button, battery-operated motor makes it easy for cooks of all kinds.

The clear spice holders let you see when it’s time to refill. It includes a cap with a one-teaspoon capacity to make grinding to measure easier — but in our tests, we found that the slow grinding meant it took a fair amount of time to hit a teaspoon.

It's very easy to fill, since each pod unscrews and you simply add the spices to an open cup. The interchangeable pods in this set allow the grinder to work for two seasonings without affecting the flavor of either. You can also purchase pods separately if you want more options.

We compared the performance by grinding pepper from each mill for a controlled amount of time on the fine, medium and coarse settings. We weighed the output of each setting to help gauge how long — and how much effort — it would take to season foods and measure for recipes.
