I was just thinking about how the worn leather of a 19th‑century grinder tells a story, like the coffee it once ground. Have you ever wondered what secrets those old machines keep?
The scars on a 19th‑century grinder are like fingerprints—each one tells you when the bean hit the blade, how hard it was pressed, maybe even a secret roast ratio the original owner swore by. I love standing in front of a worn leather‑wrapped machine, listening to the dust, and guessing what aroma it once released. It’s a mystery you can taste, one grind at a time.
