This antique hand-cranked coffee grinder was made by the German company of Stahl-Mahlwerk CA Lehnartz. It is of warm honey-colored wood and carries the company's red rooster logo. Founded in 1925 by Omar Lehnartz, by the 1930s, this company was producing up to 100,000 coffee grinders a year. However, with the advent of electric coffee grinders, the company discontinued its coffee grinder production and today produces painting equipment.
Some coffee connoisseurs assert that these hand-cranked vintage coffee grinders can create a finer and more uniform grind than many modern electric grinders. They certainly are far less noisy and far more environmentally friendly. Plus this handsome beautifully-crafted piece would be a delightful adornment for any kitchen or coffee shop.
