The piece consists of four (4) parts: The cast iron handle with a brass finial, the grinding chamber cap, the grinding chamber with the cart-iron grinding mechanism and the catch chamber. The coffee beans (or pepper corns) are place in the top and by turning the hinged crank handle, the coffee is ground and caught in the lower part. The grind size of the coffee can be adjusted by means of a screw inside the receptacle chamber. Structure/Composition: Made of brass and cast iron (the central turn shaft And the crank handle are hand-forged). The grinding mechanism is secured by two (2) metal screws.
