 Guess the Grind June 26, 2008
Pepper grind is a mixture of barely cracked and dust. One crank grinds a miniscule amount of pepper, taking at least half a minute just to season a pot of soup. Compare this to the similarly-priced, but now out-of-production OXO grinder, which took a few quick turns of the crank.
It's pretty good if you under-season everything you cook. I bought one and now I am sad.
 good pepper grinder February 9, 2008
The ball pepper grinder works well and with its variable grinds is versatile in the kitchen. I really like mine and use it all the time. I highly recommend it.
 Grinds very coarsely, kind of flimsy February 4, 2008
I had one of these for about six months until the movable squeeze-lever snapped off at the base. I got the pepper ball because I thought it'd be easier to use than a mill (since it's one-handed) and Ming Tsai uses something similar. Sadly, this is a rather cheaply-made device. It actually takes quite a bit more effort to grind with this thing than with a conventional peppermill. And the fragments it produces are very coarse -- even at the finest setting. If you only occasionally do dishes that call for cracked peppercorns, this might be an okay device. But if you're looking for a peppermill alternative to use regularly, keep looking.
Not a Sturdy Product February 1, 2008

This product works well, for awhile. I enjoy how quickly it grinds pepper, as I like a lot. But I have gone through two of these now, with the "ears" eventually just breaking off. The original version of this device was pretty good. This version is cheap and not worth the money.
hardly any pepper per squeeze, takes forever January 3, 2008

to get any amount of pepper to come out, and if the ball isn't pretty much completely full, forget it. and I had to keep turning it around so that the pepper was hitting the grinder at the correct angle. if all you want is a token dollop of pepper, this is fine, but then you probably don't really like pepper much, just the thought and look of it. And forget trying to get a precise grind for a specific recipe.
