Agreed. Last year I recommissioned a small hand cranked coffee grinder with a ceramic burr to a pepper grinder.
A revelation! The grinder isn’t particularly fancy and not that great for coffee beans, but it sure beats any pepper grinder I’ve ever used. That probably says more about the low quality of most pepper grinders. Anyway, if you haven’t tried it, highly recommend it. Even a cheap coffee grinder allows you to tamper with and adjust the burr so you can get your ideal pepper texture.
I do have long pepper, but I just don’t like it as much as the black and white kinds of pepper I use. Thought it would be good on strawberries.
