FILE UNDER C 4 COFFEE

click photo to enlarge

=======================

A mortar and pestle for grinding

coffee was among the cargo of the

Mayflower.

=========================

While working, I ran across this
article in a 1959 Stars And Stripes
newspaper. That's a great looking machine
and can be cleverly hidden away.
And it grinds an "unlimited
supply of fresh beans."
I wonder if any of these remain
somewhere anymore???

On my CD, I neglected to add my
friends song, so here it is:

Fresh Cuppa Coffee

That cabinet is probably custom built. Did you check on eBay?

coooool song.

the cabinet: have visions of a malfunction and the whole thing starting to steam, sputter and drip, while the secretary tries to get Mr Stanton his first cup of the day because, without that first cup, Mr Stanton, he is not a pleasant boss.

I don't think a lot of work would get done in that office. You can't beat the coffee klatsch.
