 Does the world need another new pepper grinder? We say "yes" when it comes to the fun Graviti Mill from Trudeau. Although at first skeptical when we learned the grinder uses batteries, we became converts once we tried it. This gadget is both fun and function—it is a terrific grinder, AND a great conversation piece! Flip this contemporary-designed grinder upside down and it releases ground pepper automatically from the top of the mill. Comes in a range of kitchen-coordinating colors. Pros: One-handed operation. Turn it on end and grinding begins; turn it right side up to stop grinding. Grind is even and consistent. Ceramic grinder maintains sharpness and never rusts, even when used over steaming pots. Knob adjusts to desired grind size. See-through Acrylic, easy to fill chamber. Cons: Requires 6 AAA batteries to operate; battery life is about 1 year. Alternate uses: Also grinds salt crystals or whole dry herbs and spices. Available in six colors: red, yellow, orange, green, chrome, silver. Retails for $24.99 to 26.95 at www.amazon.com.
