Until a week ago we had one of the ultimate design coffee grinders: a 20+ year old white Braun blade grinder. But then its engine went up in smoke and it died. We'll miss the simple shape and the high pitched sound in our kitchen. But it'll stay with us, in the attic.

Update: Seems that this grinder even had an appearance in "Blade Runner" from Ridley Scott, click here to see it.
