Antique Coffee Grinder - article about Antique Coffee Grinder

Well, such things are bound to happen and while life had to go on, a couple of us started packing up her worldly belongings. It was then that we first found the antique coffee grinder. As far as antique coffee grinders go, it was a pretty nondescript one. Now I have no real idea what an actual antique coffee grinder is supposed to look like, but there it was! A genuine antique coffee grinder that sat staring at me right in the face.

So this was the secret of great grand mother’s great tasting coffee! My cousins and I gathered around to stare at the antique coffee grinder. There was more to it than the fact that it was old. Or that it was a coffee grinder, the likes of which could scarcely been seen nowadays. There was even more to it than the fact that it was a piece of history. It was a piece of our history. It was the one thing that made my great grand mother a legend.

We were holding in our hands the one piece of family history – in the form of that antique coffee grinder – that had given her a semblance of pride and a great deal of honor. And considering the fact that she came to this country as little more than a poor immigrant, with little more than the clothes on her back and the dreams in her eyes, it was a defining thing.

Who knows? She might just have brought that antique coffee grinder with her on her voyage to this country. Of course it would not have been an antique coffee grinder then. But over the years, through the skillful use of her nimble fingers and sharp mind, she made it more than a mere antique coffee grinder. She made it a defining part of her life by breathing life into it with her passion for the good things in life. And that passion found its way into every cup of coffee that that antique coffee grinder ever produced.
