This is the mill you hand to a server for tableside finishing, not the one that lives in a drawer. The grind mechanism is cut steel, built to crack peppercorns without crushing them into dust, and the dial lets you go from a fine dust for a vinaigrette to a coarse crack for a crusted ribeye without swapping tools. The body has real weight in hand, wood or lacquer depending on the finish, so it reads as something worth setting on a table instead of hiding it in a service station. Peugeot has made these mills for generations, and the mechanism is the reason a nine-dollar plastic grinder ends up in the trash while this one gets handed down.
A steakhouse lives or dies on details guests can see, and a server grinding pepper tableside with a mill that looks and feels substantial is one of those details. The u'Select earns its spot because the mechanism does the job correctly every time, coarse or fine, without jamming or spitting out uncracked corns, and because it's built to survive years of nightly use instead of one busy season.
