Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau Graviti Battery-Operated Pepper Mill, Black
Customer Review: Handy, but not perfect
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a handy product, but it has a few problems:
Pros.
1. Works well and is highly adjustable.
2. I like a lot of pepper. It would sometimes take me a couple of minutes to grind with a manual grinder what I can now grind in seconds.
Cons.
1. Grinder stem contains a spring that is easily dislodged. It ends up in the peppercorns if you aren't very careful when refilling. Also, if you accidentally overfill it, the spring will fall out when you empty the excess peppercorns and you will have to get a tool to reinstall it. It's not a huge problem but is mildly annoying.
2. Sounds like an electric pencil sharpener. The motor is a bit loud.
A rechargable model might be better. I used Duracell batteries and the required 6 AAA batteries lasted three months. I use it rather intensely 5 days a week, so your mileage may vary.
Description of Trudeau Graviti Battery-Operated Pepper Mill, Black
The Graviti Pepper Mill features a grinding mechanism located at the top of the mill that automatically begins to grind as it is flipped upside down. Gravity sensors initiate and terminate grinding based on the movement and position of the mill. Isaac Newton would have definitely approved of the new Graviti Mill! The latest revolutionary addition to Trudeau's extensive line of pepper and salt mills has an easy-to-use tilt motion. No buttons are required to activate this battery-operated mill. Newton wannabes simply have to insert the batteries, flip the mill and let gravity do the rest! Ideal for everyone, the Graviti Mill is effortless and can be used with just one hand. Equipped with a ceramic grinder, the strongest and most durable grinding mechanism on the market, the Graviti Mill will maintain its sharpness and never rust even when used over a steaming pot. All Trudeau ceramic mills first cut then grind to maximize flavour. Trudeau Graviti Mill: no button, no effort, no mess!As its name implies, the Graviti battery-operated pepper mill from Trudeau leans heavily on the laws of physics for its function and appeal. A sleek and amusing gadget that also makes great ground pepper, the piece turns on automatically when flipped upside down. This saves grinding effort, of course, but it is also useful for the stirring cook who only has one free hand to add spice, not to mention that it serves as a fun conversation starter. To ensure that the Graviti is not mere gimmickry, Trudeau equips it with a durable and efficient ceramic grinder, and a finely tunable knob for adjusting coarseness. The grinder works well for both pepper and sea salt and arrives filled with gourmet peppercorns. It washes up by hand, runs on 6 AAA batteries, and stands 7-3/4 inches high. Trudeau makes the mill in several attractive colors and backs it with a five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
