Zassenhaus Coffee Grinder
Related entries in GrindersA little while ago Alistair from the Elysian room left a comment recommending the Zassenhaus grinders, I was looking for a good affordable grinder so the timing was perfect. I did some research online and found good opinions of the Zassenhaus so yesterday I decided to go take a look at them. I ended up buying this one:
As you can see, it is a beautiful manual coffee grinder. I’ve only used it twice, I’m actually drinking a cup as I write this. I didn’t have a grinder before so I was stuck with drinking stale coffee at home, so being able to drink a cup made with freshly ground coffee makes a world of difference. It tastes so much better.

I do recommend it. Appart from being a good grinder I really enjoy using my hands to grind the coffe every morning.
I paid around $100CAD for it. You can find cheaper look-alikes in kitchen stores, but you really get what you pay for.

Where did you find your zassenhaus? I am looking for one as well. I’ve been looking on ebay. This grinder is going for 140.00 or so.

I bought it in the Elysian Room in Vancouver, can’t remember how much I paid but it wasn’t cheap.

My granmother, who is 90, no longer drinks my mother’s coffee because she has been spoiled by mine. My husband and I use a hand grinder much like this one. We have been searching high and low for a similar hand grinder to give her for a holiday gift, but cannot find one. In searching the net, I’ve come across your blog. But it does not state where you purchased the grinder. I’m ready to give up and give her my used grinder… but then, I am left without **sigh**
Please… help me find where I can purchase a new hand grinder… The electric ones are horrible…

We bought ours in Vancouver at the Elysian room. You can also buy them on Amazon. Not many stores carry them in-stock.

I have had a zassenhaus wall mounted grinder in storage for a number of year for I purchased it and then realized I had no convienient place to place it; consequently used a “knee type grinder.
Well, moving to Baja California approx. 1 1/2 years ago I found myself resorting to an electric grinder; both grinders placed in storage while we were building our new house. Well, today I’m pleased, an understatement, to say that I have now installed my wall unit. It truly is a part of the morning ritual and extremely enjoyable to again hand grind the morning coffee ;finally using my wall mounted unit!!!! Still not completed unpacked and consequently don’t know where my other unit is at?? Also, I now find that zassenhaus has for a couple of years ago discontinued making the wall units; what a shame!!!I hope the total ritual of handgrinding the morning coffee doesn’t go by the wayside???

Do you prefer hand coffee grinders over blade or the most popular form burr coffee grinders?

Canadian mail order source below, but I hope Elysian might still carry them locally! Thanks for the tip.
