Auction: Vintage Zassenhaus Wood Hand Grinder
Description: An extremely generous Coffee Snobs member has donated his own collection of high Quality European vintage coffee grinders to the Flood Appeal charity Auction. This is an amazing, big hearted offer.
The Gentleman in questions wishes to remain anonymous so I am listing the grinders on his behalf. This collection was not for show: they were serious grinders collected by a true coffee snob for actual daily use. They are tested and each one has a brief description from the owner. They will be posted to the high bidder anywhere in Australia FREE (overseas bidders are also welcome~ but will have to pay me for shipping to their country~approximately $25-45AUD).
Grinder 1
"1.Large Zassenhaus in original condition, bit of surface rust and
usual bumps etc...just pre war I think...dovetail sides...grinds
beautifully (evenly) for aeropress and espresso. It shows its age but
is very solid. The grinding mechanism is as it always
was...unbreakable. This one cost.... and was from a French
farmhouse clearance."
Lovely old grinder by one of the greatest German manufacturers. This one shows its age with pride. It looks to have ground many a bean- but the iron burrs are in great shape and ready to go. Zassenhaus are still in business- and are renowned for their quality. This is a large grinder and chews through the beans- stepless grind adjustment via a lever inside the grinder box.

QLD Premiers Disaster Relief Appeal
