What's It Wednesday: Answer for August 12th

Did you see our “What’s it Wednesday” post on Facebook? We asked what this wooden and iron object could be.

As a reminder the object is a wooden box with cast iron mechanisms on top. The mechanism is connected to a handle seen on top and turns 360° both to the left and right. The wooden box is joined by finger joints and has a small drawer that pulls in and out.

This object is a coffee bean grinder!

The top of the grinder opens up as seen in the image below to where you pour in your coffee beans. After closing the mechanism at the top, you turn the handle and your coffee grinds will fall into the drawer beneath which you can pull out to reveal your freshly ground coffee!
