I have one of the old box-type coffee grinders and two no-name peppermills.
(I've also got an electric burr-type coffee mill which I use for other
spices.)

One of the peppermills has black (Tellicherry) peppercorns in it, the other
one has white peppercorns from Penzey's. I use the coffee mill if I want to
grind other spices along with white or black peppercorns (e.g., pink
peppercorns or coriander).
