An Old Coffee Grinder

"From the time of the ancient Egyptians people have been grinding coffee beans into powder to enjoy the a delicious drink that they could make." - Coffee Grinder Antique fact

This old beauty is an old American Coffee Grinder. The box is made of wood and the Handle and Grinder is made of cast iron. Yes, one of those simple and efficient "prim" kitchen tools that I adore so much.



I cracked that sweet little drawer just a bit so you can see that it is in perfect shape. And, oh, that extra little carry handle is so cute too.

  1. I always enjoy seeing all your new goodies...it reminds me so much of the years I spent as a child going Antique shopping with my parents...these little finds you post are old comforts to me, I recognize many of them from our trips and they bring back special memories spent with my parents.
