and I don't regret it. I have several Peugeots in different sizes, including their electric grinder. I have been using their pepper grinder since I can remember. Then I pre-ordered the Cannon. Now, my Peugeots are nothing more than decorative pieces that get used only when I have a gathering when I need more than one grinder. Love how much and how fast you an grind the pepper. We usually purchase fresh white/black peppers when we travel to Asia and use them thru the year, so this is a great item to make sure we always have pepper, and lots of it. With the slower grinder, I give up after having to turn so many times to get so little. Now with the Cannon, the advantage is that I can now have more than enough (vs never enough) IN my dishes. Waiting for the travel Cannon, then I will be visit ing restaurants with my own pepper, pepper grinder, and steak knife. Yeah, I'm that guy
