Few things are as fine as a steaming cup of freshly ground coffee. Here at the lodge I must admit I have fallen to the canned grounds for daily use however the weekends when I have the time to enjoy freshly ground.
There are a couple of coffee grinders here. An antique wall mounted grinder provides the best grind for me and provides a bit of a workout as well turning that crank for several minutes to produce enough grounds.
The fun of having a vintage or antique gadget like this is using it. Freshly ground coffee always tastes better and grinding by hand seems to add to the flavor. The manual grinding is rather therapeutic.
On the center island is another antique coffee grinder however this is a commercial unit from the early 1800s. It is fully functional and grinds a pound of coffee in no time.
Antique or vintage kitchen gadgets abound here at the lodge. I do have one requirement, they be functional or at least functioning. Seek them out at antique stores, garage sales and your favorite auction site.
