Coffee grinder

Coffee grinder

Coffee as a drink became universal in the 19th century. At first the beans were boiled whole and the water used a a drink. They soon discovered the better way was to grind the bean first and coffee mills appeared- made of wood and brass with an iron crank or sometimes all iron. They were made in quantity for home use as early as 1840.
