Box coffee mill
A wooden box with iron burrs, a crank on top and a small drawer for the ground coffee.
Coffee mills were in every home once coffee became an everyday drink in the 19th century. The form hardly changed for a hundred years until the electric grinder took over. Examples are in the Nordic Museum and the Deutsches Museum.
Materials: Wood (often beech or walnut), cast iron, brass
Manufacture: A conical iron grinder was mounted in a joined box; the fineness set with a screw.
The drawer catching the ground coffee.
