Enjoy the aroma of fresh coffee as you grind the beans using the flywheel. Connoisseurs agree that freshly ground coffee tastes so much better if it is ground manually, not electronically. This beautiful old Italian device transforms an unpopular chore into a pleasure. It is also extremely attractive: the body , flywheel and cogs are cast iron, the mill forged steel, and the crank handle and base are beech. The mill can be adjusted from fine, for espresso, to coarse, for filter coffee.

If the ongoing coffee machine boom of our time has taught us anything, it is this: Although the taste in the cup depends on the bean, it depends far more on the short time between grinding and brewing. The flavor and aroma-forming oils in the coffee bean are very unstable. Once the roasted bean has been broken open, it quickly loses body and flavor (in the form of ground coffee). So, however you brew, a coffee grinder is essential.
