I'm brand new here, but own the Texas Coffee Grinder Company. This looks like a pretty good forum so I'll probably stick around. If anyone is interested in my grinders, I'll offer a 10% discount...just enter "GCBC" in the coupon code for the discount...Tom

Welcome Gramps... and thanks for the discount.  I know nothing of your grinders, but I will take a look.

Very nice looking grinders!  Do you happen to make or have plans to make any of the old cast iron ones with the wheels on the sides?  That is what the wife will let me spend money on at the moment.

And right down the road, too.  Ever run up to the Hardwood Barn for wood?  I love that place, just wish woodworking could move up the priority list a bit  :)

Gramps,

My wonderful wife has been wanting to buy me a present and I need a new grinder for the church. I just ordered an oak that will be used at home and I'll take my Maestro to the church.

I'll leave comments for the club members about the grinder after I have gotten shipment and put to use. I'll post back here in a few weeks.

I'm interested in performance notes on the grind capabilities of the mill itself.

I'm assuming these mills are purchased from a vendor and attached to the custom wood cases...very nice looking woodwork for sure but I'd like to hear some feedback on the geek factors.  ;)

His ad does say, "This is not an espresso press but it does grind walnuts!"  So I don't think we should be expecting espresso quality grind.  Nice looking and well built grinders though!

That's fine... we need all sorts of grinds.  8)

I'm still curious about the finer details.

Not much "geek factor" in the mill. It's just a heavy duty cast iron mill. Won't make espresso but grinds a nice pot of coffee. I use mine twice a day, everyday and replace the mill about every 2 years as the burrs will eventually wear down. Replacement mill costs about $25

John,

I will give a geek review on grind quality. I did notice that it is not for espresso and I have a "Super Jolly" for that grind. I have a cabin with antiques and old stuff and if it grinds for my drip and Vac Pot I'm in business along with the "look factor." I will grind at all different grinds for consistency, ease of use, and burr replacement.

Curious on size.  Could you weigh the maximum amount of beans the hopper would hold please and state what that is in your review please?
