So, this is my early feedback on the Cannon. It certainly does produce an ENORMOUS amount of pepper per turn; and has more grind settings than seem relatable. Also, it is very heavy and solid-feeling, in a lovely, two-hundred-dollar way.
But that smooth body, with no grooves or indents, no angling or nothing? Well. More than once I thought it was going to slip to ruin in some rolling boil of liquid.
This seems like a distinct disadvantage as compared with the Weber and the Craig Lyn, which are designed with (what looks like) some grip-effect. You definitely want to be thoughtful about greasy hands with the Cannon.
Second, if you're holding the thing at a tilt, then the high volume pours out in a stream, and lands in a pile. Not a problem in soup, or if you're measuring out some pepper. But not what you want when you're dealing with a piece of meat, or eggs. It scatters brilliantly if you are holding the thing vertical.
Not a big deal -- the point was to be able to achieve volume.
I'm not mad. I'm just sayin'. The slip thing feels more significant to me, a clumsy person, and I wish I'd considered this in advance.
There is a very simple solution: a good ole' rubber band.
But, you know.
