grinder for sale
July 13th, 2009I’m letting go of one my favorite antique grinders.
This is a big Peugeot Freres A2 cast iron coffee grinder I picked up last year. It probably dates from 1890-1910. It has large conical burrs that are a bit bigger than a silver dollar and are reasonably sharp. The grinding action is smooth and satisfying. It is steampunk sexy, heavy, and looks really cool.
I’ve used this for brewing coffee at home and as an absurdly overkill roadtrip grinder. Not the most even grind quality but has worked decent for immersion brewing (eva solo) and gold cone. I had dreams of retrofitting new burrs to it and using it for a burningman theme camp project, but unless I sell it I probably can’t afford burningman anyhow.
Paint is original but fading. The drawer is original but missing its badge. Original bolt cap is gone (it came with a brass eagle that I removed for photos). Here is the heystuff page for it if you’re interested. I’m asking $550. Shoot me email if you have questions.
