Unicorn Magnum Plus: The Ultimate Pepper Grinder Experience

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

I've always been particular about my kitchen gadgets, and a high-quality pepper grinder has always been a must-have for me. After trying countless pepper grinders over the years, I can confidently say that the Unicorn Magnum Plus Pepper Mill is hands-down the best I've ever used. Here's why:

Generous Capacity: The Unicorn Magnum Plus boasts an impressive capacity, holding more pepper than any other grinder I've tried. This feature means fewer refills and more time spent enjoying delicious, freshly ground pepper in my dishes.

Consistent Grind Size: The consistency of the grind size is crucial when it comes to seasoning food. The Unicorn Magnum Plus delivers a remarkably even grind, ensuring that each dish is seasoned to perfection. Moreover, the grinder maintains this consistency without requiring readjustment after use.

Easy Grind Adjustment: Despite the consistent grind size, there may be instances where you'd like to switch things up. The Unicorn Magnum Plus makes changing the grind size a breeze. With a simple twist, you can adjust the grind size to suit your preferences, whether it's for a coarse grind to top a salad or a fine grind to season a delicate sauce.

Easy to Fill: The thoughtful design of the Unicorn Magnum Plus makes refilling a hassle-free experience. The sliding side door provides quick access to the grinder's spacious interior, allowing you to refill the pepper mill without spilling peppercorns all over your countertop.

Robust Build Quality: The grinder's body is made of high-quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity. With its sleek design, the Unicorn Magnum Plus not only functions exceptionally well but also looks fantastic on my countertop.

Smooth Grinding Mechanism: One of the most satisfying aspects of this pepper mill is the smooth grinding action. It makes using the grinder a pleasure, and the high-quality mechanism ensures that it will continue to perform at its best for years to come.

In conclusion, the Unicorn Magnum Plus Pepper Mill has elevated my cooking experience and has become an essential tool in my kitchen. If you're in search of the perfect pepper grinder, look no further. The Unicorn Magnum Plus is a game-changer, offering exceptional capacity, consistent grind size, easy adjustment, hassle-free refilling, and a sleek design that will make you proud to have it on display. Your taste buds, and your dinner guests, will thank you!

Improvement over the original. Great grinder.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024

Verified Purchase

This is my second unicorn mill. The first was my favorite of all time because it's so fast and effortless to grind piles of pepper, and because it adjusts to very coarse grinds (like the kind of cracked pepper you'd use for bistro dishes like steak au poivre, which usually requires breaking the pepper corns by whacking with a pan on the counter).

The old one deserved its common criticism: that it didn't grind very fine. It's true, but I could live with it.

The company now mentions without much fanfare that the grinding mechanism is improved. I didn't think much of it. But can say that at finer settings the grind is significantly finer and more even. Now I don't see any downsides.

There are a couple of companies making prestige grinders out of machined metal for more than double the cost of this. They are probably phenomenal, but I'm not spending more that a hundred bucks on a peppermill. There's a limit to how much it can actually improve the world.

A couple of tips: if you've got the room, get the big one. It's identical but holds more pepper. You will be surprised how much pepper you start using when you have one of these. Also, the top can get slippery if your hands are wet or greasy. I recommend a strip of skateboard tape to banish this problem.

Great grinder

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020

There are only 2 high-end pepper mills a home cook needs to consider. They are the Unicorn Magnum and the Peugeot Paris U'Select. In short, the Magnum is perfect for any home cook. You only need the U'Select if you routinely prefer its select-a-grind or design. They're both lovely, and will make you very happy.

Features of the Unicorn Magnum:

Made of black plastic. It looks great in any kitchen. It will survive lots of casual abuse. Just don't smack it hard on tile or granite, and it will hold up a long time.

Holds a boatload of peppercorns. Most mills have a ~1" wide channel to hold peppercorns. In the Magnum, the whole outer casing is hollow. This is maximum storage.

Gigantic grind. The 9/inch Magnum has a gigantic metal burr, meaning you can feed any number of people quickly even if you want a fine grind.

Easy to adjust. Turn the adjuster screw on the bottom, try a test grind, repeat until you have a setting you like. You'll eventually learn partial adjustments if you need to change. There's no indicator of where you're stopped, so you always have to do a test grind to check where you left of - if you change. When you select one grind all the time (coarse for cooking) you never have to worry.

Easily loads using the side hole. Some people claim it's easy to spill all the peppercorns. This shouldn't be an issue. Hold the grinder on the bottom and the twist top, and you'll never have an issue.

Features of the Peugeot U'Select:

Made of stained, polished wood. The Peugeot is gorgeous. It has a classic look that goes with most kitchens.

Select-a-grind. Has labels from a fine grind to coarse. The coarse grind is perfect for grilling and most cooking. The finer grinds are better for eggs and so on - I find a setting of 3 is about right for omelettes. The only problem with the dial is that the fine grind doesn't go to a total powder. I've found for some applications - such as cocktails - I could use one step finer than the dial goes by default. But for most cooking, the dial in fine.

The dial is sensitive. You're supposed to use the dial only for changing grinds. I had the misfortune of using the dial all the time while I was grinding until I cracked it. That's my bad, and I retired the Peugeot to my downstairs bar. I'll try to fiddle with the selection to make it a little finer.

On the finest grinds, the Peugeot does have a smaller burr, meaning it can take quite a while to make an amount of pepper. If you're like me maybe you just love the gorgeous carved pepper mill, but other people might find it a bother.

Overall:

If you only need one grind on a regular basis, the Magnum is the best thing out there. Set it and forget it. The large capacity, easy loading, and minimalist looks are perfect for anyone. The Peugeot is a little more fiddly, with a lower capacity and classic looks, but it has the grind selection. Personally, I think I'm moving to Peugeot exclusively. 95% of the time I'm using a coarse grind for cooking. I have a separate grinder at the table for finishing meals, so I no longer need the U'Select. Even if I need a specific grind, I have a mortar and pestle. The Peugeot is lovely, but the Magnum is for me.

I purchased this in 2015 and my only complaint is it's not my style. The sleek, black finish is a little too modern for me, a Peugeot would be more my style. However, the capacity, ease of grinding, grind selection, and ease of refilling, totally outweighs that it doesn't match my farmhouse decor. I'm glad to see this mill is still available and hoping it hasn't lost its quality, as I'm planning on buying another as a housewarming gift.

Absolutely obliterates peppercorns

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

Excellent pepper grinder, I bought this primarily for cooking, as I anticipated (correctly) having read several reviews that it is a bit highly powered for seasoning at the table - even a quarter turn gives a shower of evenly ground corns more than enough for most meals. I ordered in the UK and was slightly concerned when I saw it was shipping from the USA as I assumed I would have to pay customs but it arrived via Hermes with no additional charges in just nine days which left me impressed. The grinding mechanism is enormous enabling the cook to pulverise a vast quantity of peppercorns in a very short space of time. Though made of plastic the build quality is extremely solid, I would compare it to a nalgene bottle in that you can tell it’s going to last forever. I have had no problems with the loading window opening, just grab it by the main shaft (said the actress to the bishop) and turn the top clockwise and away you go. Adjustment of grind is easy via a thumbscrew on the base which retains its position well without wandering. Very fine adjustments are possible but a small amount of turning varies the grind quite drastically so it might take you a minute to get it exactly dialled in. The finish does show up fingerprints and grease but I have just given it a wipe down with a tea towel which leaves it clean. All in all I would highly recommend you believe this hype on this pepper grinder if you are seeking a means to season your cooking with maximum efficiency and tactile feedback.

The last pepper grinder you'll ever own

Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was a Costco pre-filled pepper grinder customer for the longest time. They were OK but took a disproportionate amount of effort to get a good amount of pepper, and I resented having something I couldn't refill. The Magnum Plus by Unicorn is unbelievable. The name is hilarious, but the operation is truly no joke. I can't believe how much pepper comes out from a mere 1/4 of a turn! It's super easy to fill, has a very large capacity, and is easy to keep clean. I've never owned a pepper grinder that was such a conversation starter, either. LOL. Great buy. Worth the price for sure.

After getting fed up with the cheap, non-refillable grinders from the grocery store, especially grinders that make the pepper too fine and take forever to use I sprang for this. Worth every penny. Grinds fast at any size, holds a ton.
