Peugeot 39639 Spice Mill Review
Our verdict
The Peugeot 39639 is a natural-finish manual spice mill at $55, trading on Peugeot's grinding reputation in a warmer aesthetic than the brand's acrylic or stainless options. The 4.0-star average from 120 reviews is adequate but is the lowest Peugeot rating in this lineup.

120 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Peugeot's grinding mechanism is its main selling point across all its mills, and the 39639 delivers that in a natural-finish body at $55. The natural color works well in kitchens with wood or neutral tones, offering a look that stands apart from the brand's clear acrylic entry-level models.
At 0.34 lb it has a bit more presence in hand than the lightest mills in this category, without feeling heavy. The price sits in the upper-middle range for manual spice mills, above budget options but below the brand's premium wood models.
The 4.0-star rating from 120 reviews is the main concern. That score means a larger portion of buyers had reservations than for the 4.4 and 4.5-star mills in this category. With only 120 reviews, the rating also has less statistical depth. Buyers considering this model should read through the review comments to understand what drove the lower scores before deciding.
Pros
- Peugeot's grinding mechanism carries a strong multi-decade reputation
- Natural finish suits wood-toned and neutral kitchen aesthetics
- 0.34 lb weight offers solid hand feel without being heavy
- Mid-premium price at $55 is lower than Peugeot's top-tier wooden mills
- Consistently available in stock
Cons
- 4.0-star average is the lowest-rated Peugeot model in this comparison
- Only 120 reviews, limiting confidence in the rating
- No capacity or dimension specs to set expectations about container size
Performance notes
Confirmed specs are limited to a 0.34 lb weight and a natural color finish. No capacity, wattage, or dimension data is available. The lack of wattage confirms this is a manual grinder.
What buyers say
120 ratings at 4.0 stars is a borderline signal. The volume is relatively low, and the 4.0 average means roughly one in five buyers gave the product three stars or fewer. Buyers should review recent feedback to determine whether concerns are systematic or isolated.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the Peugeot 39639 rated lower than the Peugeot 19501 in this lineup?
Rating differences between models can stem from grind coarseness adjustment stiffness, body finish durability, or refill ease. With fewer than 130 reviews the 39639 rating has less statistical weight than the 19501's 1,400-review base, so a handful of negative experiences can shift the average more noticeably.
Is $55 a fair price for this model compared to other Peugeot mills?
Peugeot mills span roughly $30 to $100 depending on material and size. The 39639 at $55 sits in the brand's mid-tier. If the natural finish is important to you and you want Peugeot's mechanism, the price is in the expected range. If finish does not matter, the 19501 at $37.51 delivers the same core grinding performance at a lower cost.
What does 'natural' finish mean for this grinder?
Natural typically refers to an uncolored or lightly tinted acrylic or resin body that shows the raw material color without heavy pigment. The exact appearance is best confirmed through product photos on the current listing.
