Overview
Manual wooden nutmeg mill from Peugeot, made of beech wood with a matte black finish, standing 6.25 inches tall. Uses a claw and double blade mechanism to grip and finely grate whole nutmeg seeds for soups, purees and baking.
This is the classic French-made mill sold on craftsmanship rather than convenience, positioned against cheap plastic graters whose blades wear out and can't be replaced. Several owners describe it as stiff to twist open when new, and two separately reported the internal spring losing tension over time, which stops the mill from pressing the nutmeg firmly enough against the blades.
- 16 cm / 6.25 inch matte black finish
- PEFC-certified French beech wood
- Claw and double blade grinding mechanism
- Made in France
Who it's for
Suits cooks who grate whole nutmeg often and want a durable, French-made tool worth passing down. Less suited to anyone who wants an effortless twist straight out of the box or is wary of spring parts weakening with use.
Pros and cons
- Fine, consistent nutmeg grind
- Solid beech wood and metal construction
- Lifetime warranty on the mechanism
- Can be stiff to open when new
- Spring tension may weaken with use
- Costs more than plastic mills
Performance notes
The claw and double blade/grater mechanism grips the nutmeg seed and shaves it into a fine grate as the handle turns. The beech body comes from PEFC-certified French forests.
