Pour-over coffee brand Kalita recently launched the Kalita Coffee Mill Paulownia Hand Grinder, which boasts a stunning handmade design.
The design of the elegant coffee mill crafted by Japanese artisans takes inspiration from traditional Japanese wooden chests that are often adorned with ornamental details. Each handmade mill boasts a design that is intricately carved, grooved, joined and sanded, with drawers that slide out and shut tight to keep stored coffee beans as fresh as possible. Although these wooden coffee mills look deceptively simple, they boast controls to allow a coffee lover to adjust the coarseness of the grind.
Kalita makes a range of coffee products, including everything from coffee filters and steel kettles to heat-resistant serving vessels.
