Old fashioned coffee grinders custom made by hand. These coffee grinders are handmade in Nacogdoches, Texas, one at a time, for 12 years now. The boxes are made from select 3/4 inch thick, 100 % hardwood. The wood is sanded smooth, a protective natural wood sealer is applied to enhance and protect the wood grain and then hand rubbed to a beautiful luster with Williamsville Wax, an 18th century cabinetmakers' formula of beeswax, lemon oil and other natural oils. Contains no silicones, detergents, solvents, turpentine's or other flammable ingredients. No varnish, polyurethane or paint is used. I hate chemicals in my coffee!

These are heavy duty grinders like the originals from the 1800s and are built to be used everyday. They are roughly 6 inches square and 10 inches tall and weigh about 10 pounds. The coffee drawer is holds enough beans for 6-8 standard coffee scoops, more than enough for a full pot with one grinding. The mill is a premium grade cast iron mill. It is a very strong hand crank, fully adjustable burr type grinder. This is not an espresso press but it does grind walnuts!

Burr grinders extract much more flavor from the coffee bean than electric blade type grinders. Plus the coffee just tastes, and smells better when you grind the beans by hand! ( If you love the smell of fresh ground coffee, try grinding some coffee around a campfire!) To grind your beans, a good old-fashioned coffee grinder will do as well as a modern electric version. To guarantee optimal flavor, it is important that the coffee mill is adjustable for different grades of grinding and that the coffee is not heated during grinding. Electric grinders, which slice the beans with blades rotating at high speeds, can make the powder much too hot, which is bad for the coffee taste.

I recently counted 26 websites offering the following: " We are pleased to offer this fine selection of hand crank coffee grinders. Imported woods from Germany & Switzerland are carefully machined to insure the smoothest possible finish"....Really unique! These flimsy imports weigh less than 2 lbs! When I was first looking for mills, I contacted these people. They offered to throw in the box for nothing if I bought the mill!

My grinders are heavy duty, handcrafted pieces built to last! Each one is an individual creation! The great thing about real hardwood, is that it gets better looking over time! If you are looking for quality, not price, these are the grinders you want. They make a beautiful addition to anyone's kitchen and sure to become a family heirloom. Your choice of red oak, black walnut or natural cherry. The cherry is not stained reddish purple as most cabinets are...just natural cherry wood.
