Old -fashioned manual burr-mill coffee grinder

Manual burr-mill coffee grinder. 

Burr mills use two revolving abrasive elements, such as wheels or conical grinding elements, between which the coffee beans are crushed or "torn" with little frictional heating. The process of squeezing and crushing of the beans releases the coffee's oils, which are then more easily extracted during the infusion process with hot water, making the coffee taste richer and smoother. 

The old fashioned hand coffee grinder is hardly in use anymore, but is still valued as antique model.
