Antique-style bronze coffee grinder mechanism with side crank

Bronze antique-style coffee grinder mechanism kit

Build a one-of-a-kind working coffee grinder with vintage character. This kit features an attractive cast bronze antique style mechanism that lets you create your own wooden grinder base and drawer, then add the decorative grinding mechanism to complete a practical project that makes a great handmade gift for any coffee lover. Plans are included to help you build a traditional box-and-drawer design, or you can adjust the dimensions and wood choices to create your own custom version.

What is included in this kit?

The kit includes an adjustable grinding mechanism, crank handle with knob, mounting hardware, and plans for building a wooden base and drawer. The grinder mechanism measures approximately 3" × 4" × 6" high (76 × 102 × 152 mm). Wood and finished grinder shown are not included.

This is a woodworking project that requires woodworking equipment, drilling, fitting, and assembly. You will not receive a finished coffee grinder.

How does the grinder work?

Coffee beans are added through the top of the mechanism and ground by turning the handle. The ground coffee falls into the wooden drawer below. The grind size can be adjusted at the top of the mechanism, allowing you to change the coarseness of the coffee grounds.

What do I need to make the wooden grinder base?

The included plans provide dimensions for a traditional wooden box and drawer designed to support the grinder mechanism. You can choose your preferred wood and adapt the dimensions to suit the design and finished size you want. Drill an opening in the top of your wooden box to accommodate the grinder mechanism, then secure it using the included mounting hardware.

Can I customize the grinder?

Absolutely. The plans provide a starting point, but you can choose your favourite wood, change the proportions, add decorative details or adapt the joinery to create a coffee grinder that's uniquely yours.
