Looking for a manual spice mill
[Zassenhaus for a cast iron mill, OXO for stainless.](https://hiarthur.com/?share=137f1abc-4103-46ef-9780-5409e36f5a10) The OXO has more features and is more convenient to use but the cast iron Zassenhaus is a beast. You can leave it to your kids. It does require more maintenance to keep the rust away though.

Looking for a pepper grinder that doesn’t leave a mess (and won’t fall apart in a year)
I‘m actually looking for one now and came across the [Zassenhaus](https://www.zassenhaus-brandshop.com/en/Zassenhaus-PERFORMER-pepper-mill-spice-mill-13-cm/6268) in a culinary store. All working parts seem to be made of metal, but I‘m not sure how it performs. Most of the others, including the Peugeots recommended here, tend to have at least a couple of components made of plastic, which I believe would be prone to breakage

What signs do you look for to tell if something will actually last years?
Alright hear me out. This isn’t perfect, but brands that only make one thing, or are primarily known for one thing, is a good indicator if not necessarily BIFL then at least usually pretty good quality. Cases in point: - Red Wing Shoes (at least the heritage line) - Leatherman (pocket tool) - Le Creuset (only cast iron, their original product) - Darn Tough (socks) - Peugeot (only their grinders) - Zassenhaus (grinders) - Moccamaster (coffee makers) All quality brands start out by doing one thing and doing that one thing very very well. The well run brands stick to this promise and avoid the enshittification that happens when branching into product lines that they don’t really understand to make a quick buck. That’s why one shouldn’t buy anything other than cast iron from Le Creuset or grinders from Peugeot, everything else they make is average at best, making more money because some management consultant has recommended that they grow their brand value through diffusion products.
