Simply put, Burr grinders producing significantly more consistent, smooth tasting coffee. Besides effortlessly grinding coffee beans, it looks absolutely fabulous. Made of cast iron with a beechwood base, it's heavy enough to stay anchored while you grind. The beans fit in the reservoir at the top and a spring-tab mechanism allows you to adjust the coarseness of your grind.
Turning the large wheel hand-crank produces high torque at low speed. A cone-configuration of tempered steel teeth crush the beans.
When they reach the proper size, your ground coffee falls into a wooden drawer at the bottom. Expensive for sure but very special. Dimensions: 13" x 8½" x 8 GREEN.
Just a year old and very seldom used, like new!
