Using Vintage Coffee Grinders

Using vintage coffee bean grinders to grind their coffee is not many people's idea of what they would use to grind their coffee beans in order to get their beloved cup of coffee.

Most would prefer to use electric coffee bean grinders or more modern manual coffee bean grinders, but there are some that love the style and chic of vintage coffee bean grinders.

The style of vintage coffee bean grinders is based on the very early style manual coffee bean grinders, so they generally come with a styled and carved wooden box with a hand crank and a drawer to collect the coffee beans. Of course these are replicas as the originals are now classed as antiques and are barely useable to grind coffee and also probably worth quite a bit of money. So there are manufacturers who do specialise in making these replica vintage coffee bean grinders and here we will focus on some examples of their work.

It seems coffee experts the world over seem to agree that to manually grind your coffee beans is the best way to ensure that you get the specific finesse of coffee bean grind, indeed that s what coffee lovers of yesteryear did before electric coffee bean grinders took their place.

The vintage retro coffee grinder by Fresco will pretty much grind anything from coffee bens to herbs and spices and nuts. It comes with a ceramic base and wooded surround with a copper top, and has a grinding handle to match the wooden end. It is activated by turning the handle horizontally in a circular action and grinding the coffee beans that will have been placed in the copper bowl. The coffee grounds are collected in the wooden drawer beneath the bowl which you can pull out and empty readily for the next part of the process. It is cheaply priced but it is not necessarily a grinder for coffee grinding purists who might prefer more options in grinding their beans.

The next vintage retro coffee grinder by Fresco comes complete with gift hand box so you will find that it is quite hard wearing. It grinds almost anything and comes complete with the obligatory pull out collection drawer. It has a large cup capacity and is much larger in general that the first grinder mentioned. And instead of a ceramic box, it comes with a hardwood box, along with a horizontal handle with wooden end.

The last Fresco vintage retro coffee grinder has the most features of all the grinders mentioned. It also comes complete with a gift box and is similar in that it will grind anything from coffee beans to herbs and spices to nuts but where this differs is that it has an adjustable burr which helps you to grind your coffee beans to whatever size coffee beans you want to achieve. It also has a wrought iron top and grinds in a vertically circular motion again with the coffee beans collected in the drawer below. Because of the advanced features, this vintage retro coffee grinder is the more expensive of the three mentioned and maybe of more interest to the coffee purist because of the more advanced grinding size options.

Vintage coffee bean grinders are not for everyone, but they may appeal to those who are looking for that kind of style coffee grinder for their kitchens; maybe to fit with their dcor, or maybe that they just enjoy using that kind of coffee bean grinder more.
