AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These mini coffee grinders tell the story of coffee in European homes from the 17th century onward. The first models, inspired by Ottoman ones, were simple and metal. Over time wooden versions with a front drawer appeared, very common between the 18th and 19th centuries, designed for daily use in the kitchen.
The one with the large side wheel recalls tabletop models, often used in grocer shops to grind larger quantities. The central one represents the classic domestic coffee grinder, while the more decorative brass one recalls the elegant models of the late 19th century.
Before electric grinders, every cup began with the slow turning of the crank: a small daily ritual that today survives mainly as a collectible item or for those who love traditional preparation. The rotation mechanism works, but is untested.
