Molino Coffee and Grain Grinder

A note from Geoff on Sunday 9th April 2006
"Another 'attaches-to-a-bench' item for our kitchen
This brings our collection to four items
Mincer, Slicer, Grater and now a Grinder
I wonder how many more types there are!!!"

- The Ebay Auction

Large Molino Victoria Coffee Grinder
A well made Coffee Grinder with long handle
and fine adjustment for grinding granules to the right size
Funnel at top of grinder is 13cm or 5 inches in diameter
The red catcher catches most of the coffee
- but it is best to place a tray under the catcher to catch the rest
Grinder comes with spare grinding plates and screws
There is some surface rust on the funnel as shown in the photo's

A question I asked the seller during the auction
Hi ya
Do you have any idea of the age of this grinder??
and is it all completely original??
Thanks, Geoff
......and the reply
G'day Geoff
The grinder looks to have been made in the last few decades
and it is completely original
Thanks for your interest in the coffee grinder
Regards, Ross Leslie
