Yeah, team Magnum!

Mines going on year 20, and grinds like day 1. Thanks Alton brown for the tip.

Isn’t that the one where you have to load the peppercorns through a hole the side?

Yeah, the hole is like an inch in diameter though. I just grip mine in such a way that the membrane between my index finger and thumb follows the curve of the bottom of the opening, acting like a dam for the peppercorns, and my thumb and index finger act like a funnel. Then I just pour in peppercorns. Takes about 15 seconds from opening to closing. It holds enough that I generally only have to refill it every 4-6 months, and we use a LOT of black pepper in our household.

If they are, the point is moot since you can't buy one. I've been checking their website every single day for months on end, and no product is showing up for sale, and I've given up and gone for a different brand.

I've broken 3. The third time was the last straw and I've moved on. Haven't found a perfect solution yet but I'm leaning towards that pepper cannon.
