Description from the seller
The essence of true Italian coffee: a piece of history in your kitchen.
You’re not buying a simple utensil, but a genuine time machine capable of evoking the aromas and rituals of mid-20th-century Italian mornings.
This splendid hand-cranked coffee grinder, produced by the historic Italian manufacturer D.P., embodies an era when objects were built to last for generations.
Why can’t you do without it? Today the world is rediscovering the luxury of slowness.
Grinding your own beans by hand is not just a gesture of times past, but the only way to preserve the essential oils of coffee without overheating them, offering an incomparable sensory experience that modern plastic appliances have erased.
Whether you want to use it for your daily ritual or display it as a bold Industrial Chic accent piece, this object will draw eyes and become the centerpiece of conversations with your guests.
The warm solid wood body proudly bears the signs of time, certifying its authenticity and increasing its collectible value.
The cap and the sturdy upper metal crank preserve the original mechanics of the era.
An aesthetic and emotional investment destined to appreciate in value.
The brand with the distinctive hexagonal shield "D.P." represents one of the historic realities of Italian metalworking and manufacturing, specializing in home articles active in the mid-century period.
Together with other historic brands (such as P.B. or Tre Spade), D.P. helped spread the culture of espresso and domestic coffee in Italian homes during the boom years and in the postwar era.

Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
