It was probably so cheap because it's missing the drawer, but Kirby assured me one can be made very easily.
My aversion to ordering a box coffee mill on eBay paid off! Yesterday I went shopping at an antique mall and found this great old coffee mill. It was marked $12, which I thought was enough of a steal, but it was actually discounted. I ended up getting it, tax and all, for around $10! Of course it’s missing its drawer, but Kirby says we can build one with no problem. We were out of coffee, too, so I went ahead and got some fair trade whole bean coffee at the grocery store yesterday. I just put the filter where the drawer goes and ground the beans right into the filter. Easy peasy! I’m not sure how old the coffee mill is, but it still works well!
This is where you pour the beans.
In other news, next week is my last week of working a real job for a while. School is growing increasingly hectic, but I really hope that unemployment will offer me more time to devote to gardening, crafting, and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. The next few months should be pretty interesting!
