My cheap pepper grinder from Ikea works very well, but it's for small
amounts. A coffee grinder would work for large amounts. Maybe even a large
pestle and mortar would be to your liking.

However, do you want large amounts for grinding ahead? Because as it ages,
the pepper will lose aroma. Frehsly ground-as-needed tastes better. And
doesn't require a larger grinder.
