Mine

I was actually on my way out of the thrift store when I saw it. An old-fashioned coffee grinder - the kind where you pour the beans in the top and grind them up yourself into a little drawer. You can actually smell the beans being ground up. It even says 'coffee', in case you forget. I spent way over my thrifting budget on it ($15 - eek!). But now it's mine.




And you know what? It doesn't grind as finely as my plug-it-in-and-push-a-button grinder. It's slower, and the ground coffee doesn't always go into the little drawer. But I prefer it nonetheless. Why? Because it makes me feel like the coffee is mine.



Yum.

  1. woohoo! such an awesome find. I work at a Starbucks and I keep hearing how using a coffee press (and course-ground beans) make for the best coffee. I'm def going to try that-- plus a coffee press is a lot cheaper than a coffee machine.

  3. Oh, oh, oh! Yes, that's an awesome find! I've been on the lookout for one of those to go with my pour-over drip. Hope it's wonderful for you. Definitely a great buy!

  4. Thanks guys! And boy, Karen didn't you make me feel clever! I have to tell you, this coffee is way better than the pre-ground stuff I've been buying. But the only problem is that I sit at home and drink a whole pot-full rather than a single latte out! Eek!
