Decorating a kitchen is more than choosing a refrigerator and stove, it also means incorporating small appliances into the decor scheme and still having functionality at the same time. Antique coffee grinders are an excellent way to bring a touch of the past and its beautiful craftsmanship into the kitchen while at the same time having the functionality of the coffee grinder available to brew up a perfect pot of java.
Antique coffee grinders were often wall mounted grinders. These same grinders can be mounted on the kitchen wall today and not only grind coffee but save counter space and add a touch of beauty to the kitchen while doing so.
Coffee Grinders
When searching for an antique coffee grinder it is important to make sure that all of the parts are functional before purchasing the grinder. The older cast iron models are the ones that have survived the passing years better than others and should be the ones that are looked for when shopping antique stores. Once the antique grinder is located it may require some cleaning and oiling to get it back in shape; however, once it is fixed it will be a working piece of art.
Antique coffee grinders are manual grinders that do not use timers or automatic features that the grinders of the modern world are accustomed to using. However, once the coffee drinker becomes accustomed to how long to grind the coffee beans they will be pleased with their choice. It will take time and practice to get the grind to the consistency desired; however, when an antique is the only thing that will complete the kitchen, it is worth the time and effort it takes to learn to get the consistency needed.
Antique coffee grinders are available on many antique websites and at antique auctions. It is best to purchase these from vendors who either can guarantee their product or are close enough to be able to see the product in person to make sure it is in working condition, if it is going to be used to grind coffee and not simply for decoration. Estate auctions are another excellent option for finding antique coffee grinders and being able to see and use them before purchasing them.
Antique coffee grinders have become a popular collector's item. Some people purchase them simply for their beauty; however, there are many people who purchase them to use for grinding coffee. These people tend to go to great lengths to restore the grinder to working condition and then to learn to use it for the perfect grind.
