Zassenhaus have been making fabulous coffee grinders in Germany for over 100 years and continue to do so to this day.
The Grinder on offer here seems to date from the 1950's - and is one of the top of the line models. It is called a 'knee grinder', as you can see in the images the sides of the machine are concave- so that you can hold the grinder snugly between your knees whilst you grind. In use this is very handy and practical.
This grinder has stepless grind adjustment with a dial at the top of the grinder. This is rare in wood grinders, and much more handy that the general set up where you have to reach up inside the grinder to adjust the setting.
This Zassenhas is heavily built of beautiful wood, the knob on the crank is a wonderful cherry hard wood and the box seems like beech or similar. The conical burr grinders are made of hardened steel and in superb condition. We tested the mechanism and found it to be a very good grinder capable of grinding coffee very fine for espresso machines. The settings are stepless.
Grinding your coffee fresh is the most important step towards making good coffee and many a coffee expert will be quick to tell you that the grinder you use may be more important than the coffee machine. This is a perfect choice fro travel or the home and a truly outstanding piece of craftsmanship. They simply do NOT make things like this these days. I have seen modern Zassenhaus grinders and whilst the quality is still excellent it is not as good as this one.
