The Box Mill's drawer holds enough for 6 cups. Like all Zassenhaus grinders featured here, there is a 10 year guarantee on the grinding mechanism. The beans enter the mill through a spring-loaded rectangular door on the top of the mill. Like the other Zassenhaus mills, the fineness of the grind is set by turning a knurled nut on the handle shaft. It creates wonderfully consistent grinds for all methods of brewing.
Mahogany features gold-toned hardware.
The Open Hopper model is a version of the box mill where beans are deposited in the uncovered brass hopper and are introduced into the same high-quality, fully adjustable conical burrs. The difference between the Open Hopper and the other models is the handle and hardware that secure the shaft are a tempered carbon steel, not chromed. The drawer will hold enough grind for a six cup pot. A Zassenhaus grinder makes a world of difference in the quality of your coffee, resulting in a much more thorough extraction than a blade-type grinder. The Model 169 DG Closed Hopper Walnut Zassenhaus mill is perhaps a deluxe version of the closed hopper mills.
