The Zassenhaus 175M Havanna Model mill is built with stowage in mind! This is the most compact model in the Zassenhaus line of mills, ideal for camping, hiking, boating and any other activity where electricity is scarce.
The outer shell is made from solid brass for years of service. The inner conical burrs are similar to that of a pepper mill, and can be adjusted for a finer turkish grind of coffee, or a coarser grind suitable for french press and drip type brews and anything in between.
The crank handle and top dome of the mill both lift off to load the beans, and the bottom half of the mill acts as a canister for the ground coffee to fall into and is removed for emptying.
All of the Zassenhaus Coffee Mills have the same functionality as the next, fully adjustable grind, from coarse to Turkish fine grind. They work similarly to that of a pepper mill. Just rotate the thumb nut to get the grind you need. The thumb nut can be screwed down so that the top and bottom conical burrs mesh together for a fine Turkish grind coffee if desired. The burrs are machined from high carbon steel, and hardened for years of service. Zassenhaus mills do indeed demonstrate the high quality of German craftsmanship.
Hand crank mills are most appreciated during camping trips, and power outages, or anywhere that lacks electricity. Zassennaus mills provide a consistent grind, which is necessary for a great cup of coffee.
Since 1867, Zassenhaus has been producing precision non-electric hand crank coffee mills of all types. We think by now, theyve figured it out! These German crafted mills are manufactured in the heart of the Bergischesland of NordRhein-Westfalen in the city of Solingen, world renowed for their high quailty steel production, and the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors and razors. Milling excellence is important to them, just as important as their taste for a great Schwelmer Altbier! These mills are immaculately crafted to provide years of milling service. Youll find cheap oriental imports, sure... but nothing like these mills.
