Ours is about to bite the dust - does anyone have a recommendation for one they really like?

I just pulled the trigger. I was just complaining about my grinders... Only 2 left in the 3rd run...

Yea, but how much does carpal tunnel surgery cost?

Latent Epicure Battery Operated Salt and Pepper Grinder Set (Pack of 2 Mills) - Complimentary Mill Rest | Bright Light | Adjustable Coarseness | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A39TKLW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_95q4FbK7YFHQ3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I got these about a year ago and have no complaints.

Thanks!

This thread got me to thinking.

How many kitchen "devices" are there out there where the cost of the device itself will likely exceed the cost of the ingredients said device is designed to assist with.

You could argue some high end espresso makers (depending on the cost and frequency of the coffee usage) but I think it would be tough to go through $200 in peppercorns unless you went with some pretty rare varieties.

A water filter would be an obvious exception as well.

If you don't want to hilariously spend that much, Oxo makes a great one for about $15. Like most of their stuff, it's solid.

Some people spend $$$ on really old grape juice or rotten corn cobs. We all enjoy nice things, just differently.

How does it work? Are there internal gears and mechanical advantage?

JHow exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does a sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work? It just does.

I am more shocked at the $1350 wood grinder they compared it to on the kickstarter page.

I had no idea that were that expensive.
