dramatically, adding new features and improving old ones. Canister coffee
grinders are a highly decorative feature and can be affixed to a wall. Sometimes
referred to as a mill, these wall mounted units look great and were produced

has a glass jelly jar affixed to the top, also known as a hopper. This enables
the mill to catch the ground coffee easily and efficiently.
