            Antique K.K. Priv. E.K. Wien "Comfort" Coffee Grinder Mill Kaffeemühle Moulin a cafe

I have owned this majestic K.K. Priv. E.K. Wien "Comfort" Coffee Grinder for at least 15 years. I am running out of space and so it's unfortunately time to trim back the collections.

The grinder was manufactured in Vienna, Austria between the late-1800's and the early-1900's and is primarily of brass construction

The handle turns, and the entire grinding mechanism seems to work but, I must admit, I have never actually ground coffee beans with it as it has been a purely decorative piece. I'm sure it will still be able to produce a good grind, but will leave that test to the successful bidder!

As you will see from these photos, I have left the grinder unpolished, and it's in a wonderful condition for it's age.

Vital Statistics:

* It weighs a hefty 3.675 kg (8.1 lbs)....hence the shipping charge
* Measurements are 18 x 18 x 27cm (7.0 x 7.0 x 14.5 inches)
* The draw for the ground coffee measures 14 x 9.4 x 5cm (5.5 x 4.75 x 2.0 inches)

This monumental coffee grinder has great presence, and evokes a long-gone era of style and sophistication before the onset of the First World War. I wish I could hear its story!

Sold as seen and without warranty or guarantee.

Grab yourself a recessionary bargain, and happy bidding!
