Coffee grinder - Wood, ground - Coffee grinder with flywheel

This specimen belongs to the period 1920–1940.
Large lateral flywheel, typical of European/Italian coffee grinders from the early decades of the 20th century.
Cast-iron mechanism with exposed gears (widely used from the late 1800s to the 1940s).
Bottom drawer for collecting ground coffee.
Base in varnished wood, restored.
Flywheel coffee grinders appear in Europe and the USA in the nineteenth century.
Domestic models like this are smaller than the professional ones and were used in homes until the 1950s. The flywheel allowed for a more uniform grind and less effort compared to the small crank.
Many Italian factories (Tre Spade, Ardito, PeDe, Mack) produced similar models.
Gears with an original rust patina, typical of historical pieces.
Industrialization led to mass production and greater standardization, although the basic designs remained similar for decades.
Although electric grinders are prevalent, manual vintage-style models like this remain popular among enthusiasts for their aesthetic charm and the control they offer over the grinding process.
