Recently, a new class of pepper mills has emerged that brings the idea of luxury back to pepper grinding.
For those of you still dubious of the price of these grinders, which I grant is enough to make you question whether pepper could be that important in your life after all, the best comparison point I could draw is to the beloved-by-Epi. They cost three or four times what other “good” blenders do, but it doesn’t actually make much sense to compare those much cheaper “good blenders” because a Vitamix is so much more powerful it is capable of things they just aren’t.
Though they cost about the same amount, the Black Rain and Pepper Cannon are also quite different from each other. The Pepper Cannon is essentially a sleek-looking, souped-up manual pepper grinder. It’s designed to be more powerful, though, expelling more pepper with every twist. The Black Rain is a button-operated, high-torque, battery-powered grinder that you can use with one hand.
The other thing these grinders do better than less expensive versions is adjust from coarse to fine grinding. Both have easy-to-move dials and can go from big pieces of cracked pepper to the kind that’s so finely ground it vanishes into a sauce almost instantly. The Black Rain offers only five settings, compared to dozens on the Pepper Cannon, but both of these high-end pepper grinders provide all the range you’re likely to need.
So, is one of these pepper mills worth it? It’s kind of like asking if a Ferrari is “worth it.” You’ll get where you’re going in a Toyota, but you can get there faster in a Ferrari—and you might have more fun.
