Even before its current zenith of popularity, coffee has been a favorite beverage worldwide for centuries. To prepare coffee beans for use, human ingenuity has created hundreds of versions of coffee grinders, and this book is devoted exclusively to them. With 600 quality color photographs, the authors direct a marvelous tour of the best and most sought after examples from around the world. Accurate information about the makers and the time and place of manufacture make this a valuable resource for collectors as well as a rich visual history of over 300 years of American and European coffee grinding devices. Each example is described with its current value. Joseph E. MacMillan, a leading authority on coffee grinders and author of the MacMillan Index, writes in his Foreword to this book, Knowing the quality of these authors, I am confident that this book will be an asset to the serious collector and will be enjoyed by all of its readers for years to come.

American Coffee Grinders: American, English, and European,
By Loki "mischiefrules" (Iowa USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Antique Coffee Grinders: American, English, and European (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
Wonderful pictoral book. It gives a broad range of visuals for coffee grinders, beginning with 18th century construction up to the 20th century. It occassionally gives a little background of the companies that produced the grinders, but overall the book should be used to assist with identification of grinders only. I have been able to indentify several grinders as far as age and manufacturer, so that I could make a more educated purchase.
