@Mann_Kitchen@GordonRamsay I was just letting you know in case you missed it.
B/c it sucks, to see you not rewarded for your hard work. You really pushed the bounds on making an awesome peppermill while everyone else "twittled" their thumbs.
@benz145@Mann_Kitchen I don't NORMALLY brag about "kitchen gadgets".. but this was one of the best, I've purchased in a long time..
Use it every day, and smile every time I use it.
If your serious about your spice, black pepper, it's worth it!
Using 92% of my remaining good karma, I received a @Mann_Kitchen#PepperCannon to test out. This is my honest review as a nutrition professional. Nixon, West Palm Beach, the Devil himself, and still I fear I have only scratched the surface. 1/24
@wearecanteen@Peugeot Treated myself to a Pepper Cannon from @Mann_Kitchen in the early days of lockdown. Probably my favourite kitchen utensil. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
@R5Ryder@mnsmirk@headius 25 clicks from zero will get you close. Note that 16 mesh pre ground pepper will be screened with all fines removed, while fresh from the cannon will include everything 16 mesh and smaller (more flavor + aroma).
Watching @headius unbox his Pepper Cannon from @Mann_Kitchen was a delightful "Christmas Morning in January" type of experience. In case you were wondering - yes, his distain for all other pepper mills has now significantly increased as well.
More people should copy Yeti's playbook. It's clearly proven:
Find a boring, ignored product & offer something 3x higher quality for 10x the price.
$50 tumblers are fine. Why not a $500 one? We use them daily & the market is massive.
Do this with:
Tool kits
Grill tools
Umbrellas
Flashlights
Camp chairs
10x10’ pop-up canopies
$200 fishing poles instead of $20 disposable ones
One problem is that Yeti is already trying to do this with many of the products above.
But they won’t be known for it. They’re known for amazing coolers. They're private equity now.
Their private equity is your opportunity.
Many DTC brands are half-heartedly trying this by simply selling expensive commodities on a nice website, but you have to nail the quality in the marketing.
Someone needs to be known for amazing $300 camp chairs that last a lifetime.
If I were doing this I'd listen to every podcast and read every article from the Yeti founders, and scour their original website on the web archive.
It used to be yeticoolers . com and looked like the below.
Opportunities are everywhere.
@R5Ryder Extra o-rings for the base cup, and wrench to remove the safety screw should you ever want to disassemble the mill. The small sleeve is an extra vibration dampener for the safety screw.
