The pepper cannon is designed for pepper lovers and can be used by anyone who has never been overawed by the power, grinding range, consistency, adjustability, cumbersome refilling or quality of traditional pepper mills. The pepper cannon is more expensive than ordinary mills because ordinary mills are ordinary. Ordinary pepper mills are not milled from solid pieces of metal. They do not have high-carbon stainless steel burrs supported by bearings and driven by an oversized stainless steel drive shaft. When considering the best pepper mill for you, it's important to note that if you enjoy endless cranking to produce a minimal amount of incontinent ground pepper, the pepper canner may not be the pepper mill for you. If you enjoy the smell of burning plastic, the feel of splintering wood and/or lying on dirty kitchen floors to get out the small setting nuts that fall off and roll under the fridge when you have the temerity to try a refill of your pepper mill, the pepper gun may not be the pepper mill for you. If stale pre-ground pepper of questionable origin stored in clear pepper shakers in direct sunlight since two presidents ago is too spicy for you, the pepper gun may not be the pepper mill for you.
