Decorating a kitchen is more than choosing a refrigerator and stove, it also means incorporating small appliances into the decor scheme and still having functionality at the same time. Antique coffee grinders are an excellent way to bring a touch of the past and its beautiful craftsmanship into the kitchen while at the same time having the functionality of the coffee grinder available to brew up a perfect pot of java.
Antique coffee grinders were often wall mounted grinders. These same grinders can be mounted on the kitchen wall today and not only grind coffee but save counter space and add a touch of beauty to the kitchen while doing so.

When searching for an antique coffee grinder it is important to make sure that all of the parts are functional before purchasing the grinder. The older cast iron models are the ones that have survived the passing years better than others and should be the ones that are looked for when shopping antique stores. Once the antique grinder is located it may require some cleaning and oiling to get it back in shape; however, once it is fixed it will be a working piece of art.
Antique coffee grinders are manual grinders that do not use timers or automatic features that the grinders of the modern world are accustomed to using. However, once the coffee drinker becomes accustomed to how long to grind the coffee beans they will be pleased with their choice. It will take time and practice to get the grind to the consistency desired; however, when an antique is the only thing that will complete the kitchen, it is worth the time and effort it takes to learn to get the consistency needed.
Antique coffee grinders are available on many antique websites and at antique auctions. It is best to purchase these from vendors who either can guarantee their product or are close enough to be able to see the product in person to make sure it is in working condition, if it is going to be used to grind coffee and not simply for decoration. Estate auctions are another excellent option for finding antique coffee grinders and being able to see and use them before purchasing them.
Antique coffee grinders have become a popular collector's item. Some people purchase them simply for their beauty; however, there are many people who purchase them to use for grinding coffee. These people tend to go to great lengths to restore the grinder to working condition and then to learn to use it for the perfect grind.

Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, Black Overview
Ask any coffee connoisseur and they'll tell you that in order for coffee beans to develop their full flavor profile, they must be ground right before coming in contact with hot water. This is where the bistro electric burr coffee grinder comes in and becomes part of the coffee making ritual. The Bistro is continuously adjustable - twisting the upper bean container determines how finely ground the beans will be. With over 14 settings from coarse to fine, you can deliver the ideal grind for any brewing method. But there's more to it than that. Most coffee grinders use plastic containers to receive the ground coffee but plastic and ground coffee don't go together well. The powder gets statically charged and spills all over the place. The new Bistro comes with a borosilicate glass container to catch the grounds. The glass catcher is inherently static-free, reducing the amount of overall static and "jumping" coffee grounds. This and the tight silicone/nylon lid make for an excellent, no-spill coffee grinder. The borosilicate glass container comes with a silicone band to make it slip-proof, an especially important feature when touched with wet hands. The Bistro is made from borosilicate glass, steel, plastic, rubber and silicone and comes in black, orange, red, green, and white.SAVE NOW on the special offers below!
