    Pepper mill for close to $300 a bargain? What's wrong with this world?

    • Stivo on 26/03/2024 - 09:43

      RRP is $349. 20% off is a good deal on this item. If its value at that price is another matter. Never used one but have it on good authority that its a engineered beast - it has a gear box or something.

    If you followed the Kickstarter/product, you'd know this product doesn't really go on sale. They do a 20% off sale for 1 day a year on their self proclaimed "MKDAY". Ok deal, but really only an extra 10% off considering they do a 10% off discount for new customers first order. Shame we're getting screwed with the US > AUD exchange rate.

    Ultra high end product for professional chefs, enthusiastic cooks or people with lots of spare cash. Guess you could consider it a buy if for life product.

    • prhino on 26/03/2024 - 10:23

      The 10% off is only if you buy direct, unlike this which is also offered by Amazon, so shipping is free and taxes are covered if you have Prime.

      So with this deal you’re paying $279.20 instead of $353.7 if you buy direct and get 10% off. It’s a good deal.

      My Pepper Cannon is worth every cent.

  • frowny on 26/03/2024 - 09:59

    At a certain point, wouldn't getting a nice coffee handgrinder like a 1zpresso be a cheaper alternative? Just curious I guess!

    • Stivo on 26/03/2024 - 10:09

      I have considered the same question many times. In the end I got a Dreamfarm Ortwo but always wanted the cannon.

    • prhino on 26/03/2024 - 10:29

      Quality aside, would a coffee grinder support as coarse a grind as you sometimes need for pepper?

      • frowny on 26/03/2024 - 11:26

        Definitely will - most pourover coffee will be coarser than I want my coffee to be :)

        • prhino on 26/03/2024 - 13:03

          For something like cacio e pepe you want pepper much coarser than pour over coffee grinds though

    • Kibbelhs on 26/03/2024 - 11:19

      I was about to purchase the hand cannon when I saw your comment. I've got a 1zpresso which I bought to try and see if I liked coffee, but I didn't and it's been sitting unused (used once) for months. Thanks for this great suggestion!

    • DeToxin on 26/03/2024 - 12:59

      It's not exorbitant when you consider how long it will last.

      Electronics just introduce something extra that can fail, and are completely unnecessary for this grinder since it's so efficient.

        A $5 pepper grinder will likely last as long, so what's the benefit of this one. You save a fractional amount of effort. Why not just blender your steak and drink it? Save yourself the chewing…

          Having considered this item, I looked at some reviews and what you're paying for is the build quality (solid chunk of aluminium) and the ability to grind pepper very coarsely or very finely - it has more steps of adjustment then your average grinder, 75 to be exact.

          Of course, whether those qualities command the price tag is in the eye of the beholder and to some, is considered overkill. That said, it is a highly rated product albeit not for everyone.

          • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2024 - 11:28

            @prhino: Speed apart, you are paying more price and have to manually churn it. Unless you are running a restaurant, i dont see the point in spending so much even if this thing was faster.

            • prhino on 26/03/2024 - 11:33

              @[Deactivated]: For me it was as much about the quality. Yeah, I've paid three or four times the amount as I would for another grinder, but this one will last 10-20 years at absolute minimum. It's built like a tank. A lot of grinders start to fail after 2 or 3 years. Plus I love pepper.

              I do get what you're saying though. I feel the same way about people spending $1200 - $2800 on a mobile phone.

              • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2024 - 11:36

                @prhino: Not saying you are wrong, I have couple of manual ones too, but the battery operated ones always wins because of single handed operation. Especially if you are eating something with your hands, then there is no need to wash hands to use the battery operated ones. Convinience and speed. I eat more pepper because of this which is good.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2024 - 11:49

          Then always good to have a salt shaker instead of a grinder. I agree with the matching looks tho.

          • tman2020 on 26/03/2024 - 11:58

            @[Deactivated]: I just buy some kosher salt in a shaker :) or sometimes some sea salt, depends what's on special. But always have kosher for bbq.

            • prhino on 27/03/2024 - 15:55

              @tman2020: Kosher salt is just the the same as cooking salt.

              • tman2020 on 27/03/2024 - 22:15

                @prhino: By cooking salt do you mean table salt. If so, there is a diffrence. Kosher salt is not iodized like table salt. I find table salt to have a bitter after taste and is more saltier compared to kosher. Not an issue for cooking or salads but on meat like smoked brisket, pulled pork or ribs and even steaks where coarse salt is called for it makes a diffrence. In my opinion, others may have other views.

                  Table salt is completely different. Much finer than cooking or kosher salt.

  • DanielP2 on 26/03/2024 - 11:22

    I always wanted this thing and would have totally jumped on it at this price. Instead though i bought myself a kingrinder k1 coffee grinder to try out as a pepper grinder instead for about $50 and have been extremely happy with it. Great alternative for those who want to be able to grind a serious amount of pepper at a fraction of the cost.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2024 - 11:50

        Have you seen how much pepper goes on a whole Brisket? I have done 3 at once, spent 10 minutes just grinding pepper and salt and that was with the Dreamfarm double action handle thing.

      • DanielP2 on 26/03/2024 - 13:21

        What Greennick said. It's mainly for large pieces of meat as a rub, or if i am cooking a lot of steak. Also i do use a lot more pepper on my food than most people would, i think. The k1 means i can find enough pepper for a dinner with one or two turns of the handle.
        I imagine the Pepper Cannon would be the same in a far more convenient and better looking form.

      I grind pepper/sea salt for rubs etc, when you need a couple of tablespoons of ground pepper using a manual grinder is pretty slow and kills your wrists.
      Currently using an electric grinder but the capacity is very limited compared to regular grinders.

      These would be tempting but $560 for set is still a bit much!

        How much pepper do you eat/use to warrant buying this? A computer monitor is something you use for hours on end, for multiple purposes, such as work, gaming, production and many other things.
        This is a pepper grinder… Use for a few seconds and put it back in the cupboard/pantry until the next time you use it for another few seconds

          A computer monitor is something you use for hours on end, for multiple purposes, such as work, gaming, production and many other things.

          A $600 monitor can do all that, you don't need a $2,799 monitor. But a $2,799 bendable monitor would be nice to have wouldn't it.

          Likewise a $30 grinder can do most of what this $279 grinder can do. But a $279 well-built, high-output grinder would be nice to have wouldn't it. Well maybe not to you, but that's no different to people thinking a $2,799 bendable monitor is silly.

          • teddiebear on 27/03/2024 - 13:47

            @eug: You make a good point. BUT, this is an item used for only a few seconds at a time. For something like a monitor you're gonna be using for hours and hours at a time, the bells and whistles are justified.
            I don't have a $2800 monitor but being a gamer for decades, i can see why people use them.

  • FuRyZ on 26/03/2024 - 23:40

    I am just not seeing the value here. It just makes absolutely no sense. You can get 15-20 cheap electric shakers for that price. There are electric salt and pepper grinders for under $10 on Temu.

    For example, I got the Aldi electric salt and pepper shaker for around $15. They have both been doing just fine for a few years now. I dont care if they break. If I get 4-5 years of usable life out of them, that is far more than I expected. I will just go out and buy another $15 set. Rinse and repeat. At this rate, I will probably go 50 years before I have spent the same amount as a single one of these 'pepper cannons'.

    At this price, there is no value for money, no matter how well it is built. Do yourself a favour, buy a $15 set and spend the rest on something far more important.

    • eug on 27/03/2024 - 01:35

      At this price, there is no value for money, no matter how well it is built. Do yourself a favour, buy a $15 set and spend the rest on something far more important.

      I could also say $2,553 for a 65" TV is not value for money. I could just buy a $600 TV from ALDI.

      For the huge percentage of TV users who just want to watch some netflix or have the something going in the background in a brightly-lit room, an OLED TV would be completely pointless, just like this pepper grinder.

      But I also realise everybody is different - some people will happily pay triple the price for an OLED screen because they value nice colours and dark blacks, and that's fine.

      Likewise some people will happily pay $279 for a very well-made grinder that feels solid and speeds up their brisket prep, and that's fine too.

      Different people assign value to things differently because … we're not all the same.

      I don't have this grinder because I can't get myself to spend that much on a grinder. But I do see why it's attractive to some people.

      • FuRyZ on 27/03/2024 - 11:16

        That's true, people have varied value propositions on different items.

        Ultimately, no one says that this is inherently a bad item, I am sure it is a great grinder, it is just simply has very poor value for money. Same can be said for Bentleys, I am sure they are great cars, but no one has used Bentley and value for money in the same sentence.

        • eug on 27/03/2024 - 13:09

          I am sure it is a great grinder, it is just simply has very poor value for money.

          That's the thing - "value for money" is subjective as people don't just calculate value based one one single metric. It is very poor value to you because you don't value the benefits it provides, and that's fine.

          But someone who isn't into food would think even a $15 pepper grinder is poor value for money because pre-ground pepper costs $2 and comes in a convenient shaker because they don't value the benefits freshly-ground pepper provides - and that's fine too.

          Purchasing power affects the perception of value as well. $279 is worth a lot more to someone earning $40k than to someone earning $400k. If the latter sees a product that's built well, looks good, works better, saves them a minute each time they do up a 5kg brisket and can be purchased with the spare change from last weekend's dinner, it'd be an easy purchase.

          Some people also simply appreciate the look and feel of a product rather than simply looking at pure functionality and are willing to pay a premium for something that feels good to use and looks nice on the table. They factor in look and feel into their perception of value.

          Everyone does it to some extent - otherwise we would all be wearing the same clothes and shoes from Target or Kmart. Instead, many people happily pay a premium for a nicer design or materials even though they do the same thing as a $15 shirt from Kmart.
