Addicted to coffee? You may be dopamine deficient
Sunday, July 08, 2012 by: PF Louis
How coffee elevates our moods and gets us going
Caffeine stimulates the brain to produce the neurotransmitter dopamine by occupying the brain's adenosine receptors. Adenosine is what helps us feel like sleeping, but the adenosine receptors don't discriminate between adenosine and caffeine.
Coffee's adverse effects and kicking the habit
A recipe for disaster is working a stressful job and drinking lots of coffee to cope with it! Adrenaline rushes can be addictive, just ask any gambler or sports nut.

What's The Best Time To Drink Coffee? The Hour Matters Because Cortisol Cycle Influences Caffeine Effectiveness
The hour at which you drink coffee could influence the effectiveness of the caffeinated beverage. Mortefot, CC BY-SA 2.0
According to a new report, caffeine effectiveness is determined by the hour at which the coffee is consumed because of the body’s cortisol cycle.
The body’s circadian rhythm is responsible for dictating when a person feels sleepy, hungry, happy, or sad. This clock controls sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, body temperature, and other functions. Cortisol — a stress hormone that increases sugar in the bloodstream — is typically released shortly after waking up in the morning, according to Medscape. Healthy people experience a 50 percent increase in levels during the first 20 to 30 minutes after waking up in the morning. Since cortisol levels are at their peak in the bloodstream, they promote alertness and help regulate the circadian rhythm — a natural boost without the caffeine.
Steven Miller, a neuroscientist at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., wrote in Washington-based science news blog NeuroscienceDC that people should hold off on consuming caffeinated beverages early in the morning when cortisol concentration is at its peak. “Drug tolerance is an important subject, especially in the case of caffeine since most of us overuse this drug,” he wrote. “Therefore, if we are drinking caffeine at a time when your cortisol concentration in the blood is at its peak, you probably should not be drinking it.”
Those who drink coffee when cortisol levels are high — commonly between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — are more likely to develop a tolerance to caffeine. This increased tolerance means the drug will become less effective in the body. Miller explains this by referring to one of the key principles of pharmacology: use a drug when it is needed.
“In other words, the same cup of morning coffee will become less effective and this is probably why I need a shot of espresso in mine now,” he wrote, the Telegraph reports.
To maximize the benefits of your caffeinated beverage, coffee should be consumed between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. when cortisol levels are dropping before the next surge. Cortisol levels peak in the bloodstream between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Miller acknowledged that cortisol levels at various times throughout the day vary from person to person, which means the best time to drink coffee varies from person to person. Early birds will commonly experience a drop of cortisol levels earlier than those who sleep in.
Coffee can not only increase alertness, but also benefit your health. In a study published in the journal Hepatology, a morning cup of coffee or tea was found to protect drinkers from liver failure. Researchers used cell culture and mice to examine the effects of caffeine on non-alcoholic fatty livers (NAFLD). The consumption of caffeine stimulated the metabolization of lipids stored in the liver cells, which decreased the fatty liver of the mice on a high-fat diet. These findings may be applied to humans if they consume four cups of coffee or tea per day to protect against the progression of NAFLD, especially those who tend to have a high-fat diet.

Kaffee beugt Depressionen vor
Kaffee schützt vor Depressionen. Hierbei handelt es sich nicht um eine alte Bauernweisheit, sondern um eine Tatsache an der US Forscher lange geforscht haben. Die Zusammenhänge sind zwar noch ein wenig unklar, aber ein Test mit fast 60.000 amerikanischen Damen über einen Zeitraum von 10 Jahren bestätigte die These, dass Kaffee vor Depressionen schützt.
Im Langzeittest der Studie kristallisierte sich klar heraus, dass Frauen die keinen oder kaum Kaffee trinken wesentlich leichter zu Depressionen neigen als Frauen, denen ein Kaffeekränzchen täglich sehr wichtig ist. Schon der Genuss von zwei oder drei Tassen Kaffee minimierte das Depressionsrisiko um 15% gegenüber den Antikaffeetrinkerinnen. Bei einem Kaffeegenuss von vier Tassen pro Tag erhöhte sich der Wert sogar um 20%. Würde sich also der Jahresverbrauch der Deutschen von derzeit 150 Liter noch erhöhen, gäbe es wohl kaum noch Menschen, die unter Depressionen leiden. Leider ist diese These sehr gewagt, denn vielfach haben Depressionen auch krankhafte Eigenschaften, denen man sicherlich nicht mit Kaffee allein zu Leibe rücken kann.
Warum kann der Genuss von Kaffee so gesund sein?
Kaffee enthält sehr viele Substanzen, die als Antioxidantien ihre Wirkung auf den Menschen entfalten. Aus diesem Grunde senkt Kaffee auch die Symptome von Prostatakrebs, auch hier tappt die Forschung noch im Dunkeln. Eines war jedoch schon immer klar, Die Wirkung von Koffein auf das Nervensystem, in seiner stimulierenden Art und Weise ist lange bekannt. Immerhin nimmt der Mensch das meiste Koffein nicht über die Cola ein, sondern zu 80% über den Kaffeegenuss.

Ich kann mir Kaffee aus meinem Leben unmöglich wegdenken. Doch übertreiben sollte man beim Kaffeetrinken auch nicht, denn man kann auch vom Kaffe abhängig werden und sich somit selbst die Freude am Kaffetrinken rauben.
Hey, super Beitrag. Echt spannend, was Kaffee alles bewirken kann.
Also ohne Kaffee geht bei mir gar nichts. Morgens brauche ich einfach eine Tasse starken Schwarzen! Toller Beitrag!!
Kaffee ist für mich ein echtes Genussmittel und aus meinem Kaffeeautomat schmeckt der super lecker. Das Trinkerlebnis ist fast wie Gaumensex ;-)! Super Seite mit vielen wertvollen Infos über den Kaffee!!
Sehr interessanter Beitrag.
Kaffee ist aus meinem Leben auch nicht mehr wegzudenken.
Survival Coffee
Every morning I take the pulse of the planet by brewing a cup of coffee. As the second most traded commodity on earth, and the number one imported food item in the United States, coffee is a major indicator of how smoothly the world is turning. Any hints of social collapse will hit coffee faster than either gold or silver, and only oil is traded more heavily than those precious caffeinated beans.
The National Coffee Association suggests there might be some truth in the legend that coffee was discovered in the Ethiopian highlands during the ninth century by a goat herder who noticed that his animals did not sleep well after eating the seeds of a particular plant. After some human experimentation with the beans, coffee as we know it was born. By 600 years ago it was off and running as a preferred beverage across the Middle East, and today it is keeping humans up at night all over the world.
Coffee and Guns
Although coffee is a global phenomenon, the only US state that grows coffee is Hawaii. But when the SHTF, as the saying goes, you can’t get there from here so your survival supply is all there is. Coffee has always been an important barter item, and it’s post-collapse value will skyrocket. Coffee and conflict go hand-in-hand. GI Joe, as in “Cup of Joe” experienced the importance of coffee as a ration during war time. Tea may have launch this country, but coffee and bullets keep it free!
Rarely does a daily hunt begin without a coffee ritual of some sort. Whether drinking “vitamin C” in a small town cafe, or pouring the black gold from a thermos in a duck hunting blind, coffee and guns are inseparable. So when society takes a wrong turn and you don’t know who to trust, coffee will still be your friend.
Standing Your Grounds
The point of grinding coffee beans is to break open the bean exposing the flavorful roasted meat inside the seed, and increase the bean’s surface area that can directly contact hot water. To grind coffee, all you need are coffee beans, and something harder than the beans. Kitchen or home-sized grain mills will make short order of coffee beans, but more than a few of the prepared folks I know have a hand grinder in the house, whether in storage or on display as an antique. Hand grinders are like giant pepper mills, which, by the way, can also be coaxed into service as coffee grinders depending on their size and capacity.
The best option is to get a modern hand grinder of which there are so many available that I cannot help but wonder if the manufacturers know something about the future that I don’t. For the long haul, I’d recommend one of the nicer modern stainless steel grinders rather than either an retro-looking one or a grinder with any part made of glass.
Stone Grinding
A mortar and pestle does a fine job of grinding up beans. Another method is similar to the maze (corn) grinding tools of the ancients. The mano, or hand grinder, is a rock with a depression like a bowl in it whereby another smaller rock is used to crush or grind the material placed in the bowl. Rolling pins also pulverize coffee beans when the two come in contact. Hardly a new idea since stone rolling pins are as ancient as the mano. And if you have plenty of time on your hands, or some children that need a diversion, imagine all the post-apocalyptic fun you can have crushing individual coffee beans with pliers.
Once you have the fresh grounds, the next step, and only other step is to make the coffee. Here are several ways to take that next step, some more refined than others, but all are effective and well-tested.
Steeped Coffee
Steeping coffee is a variant of cooking coffee, and is simply letting the coffee grounds sit in hot water for a while. The French Press is a popular coffee cooking method, but the familiar glass cylinder and matching plunger is hardly necessary. Any pot, cup, or tin can will work fine. Some outdoor companies are manufacturing combination French Press/coffee mugs where prior to drinking, the plunger handle is depressed forcing all the grounds to the bottom of the mug. Two cautions from experience; first the filter is about 90% effective meaning a toothy grin while drinking from a “Big Sky Bistro” will likely produce some laughter by those viewing the black grounds wedged in your teeth. And second, there will be an impressive pile of sludge at the bottom of your cup from which you can still drink. But don’t. It is nothing more than expended coffee syrup and will provide a rather tragic end to your drinking bliss.
Cowboy Coffee
Another variation of cooking coffee is popular named Cowboy Coffee, or boiled coffee and requires nothing more than the grounds be boiled in water. Cowboy Coffee differs from steeped coffee in that steeping has the hot water added to the ground coffee while away from the primary heat source. Cowboy Coffee is the simplest preparation method, but not the best for flavor due to the higher temperature that the grounds are exposed to for a longer time. Of course if you are up in the mountains, water boils at a lower temperature than at sea level so the damage to the taste of the coffee is less. Authentic Cowboy Coffee is little more than a handful of grounds tossed into a pot of boiling water. Or worse, thrown into the pot prior to boiling. If you want the true experience of Cowboy Coffee you can either drink the nectar, grounds and all, or run the fluid through an old sock to strain out the grounds. The more refined among us might make their Cowboy Coffee by placing the grounds into the sock before dropping it in the pot upping the macho factor. Since Cowboy Coffee is usually more bitter than other brewing methods, a dash of salt is often added to the pot to counteract the excess bitter tasting compounds.
Filtered Brew
Pour-Over coffee, or filtering, requires a filter medium full of grounds, a container below the filter to capture the coffee, and hot water to pour over the grounds. With a little practice, the coffee flavor can be controlled since the fluid flowing out of the filter will change over time as the bean’s essence is depleted. A popular survival accessory is known as a coffee sock. Not to be confused with the actual stocking used in Cowboy Coffee, the coffee sock is more of a reusable cloth strainer with a handle. A note of caution about filters is that the taste of the filter can overpower that of the coffee. If you use non-filter specific paper for your filter, such as paper towels, the bleach taste of the paper can render the coffee undrinkable. But that, of course, depends on your level of desperation. Filtered coffee is also trendy these days for health reasons. When brewed, coffee releases plenty of chemicals, some desired, some not. The longer the coffee sits in hot water, the more of the undesirable molecules leach from the beans into your brew of COF2E2.
Pressure Coffee
Espresso is the popular name for pressure brewed coffee. The variations of Americano, Latte, and Cappuccino are just post-expresso alterations to the tiny cup of black gold squeezed from the beans by pressurized hot water. Although sounding somewhat complex, pressure-brewed coffee can be accomplished with remarkably simple devices. Moka Pots, or stovetop espresso machines are small two-piece pots where a water reservoir base is topped with a strainer full of tightly packed ground coffee. A small pot is screwed tightly to the base holding the complete assembly together. As the water in the reservoir reaches boiling temperature, it encounters the resistance of the compacted coffee. The increased challenge posed by the coffee causes the water to heat beyond the traditional boiling point until the pressure is great enough to move through the grounds and up a tube to the top of the pot where it then falls into the collection area of the pot.
The process happens fairly quickly once boiling is reached. Due to the extreme danger of placing what amounts to a coffee pot bomb on your stove, I recommend only professionally made pressure coffee makers with a pressure release valve on the reservoir. Fabricating your own post-apocalyptic stove top espresso machine out of car parts is just asking for trouble.
The Grim Reality
Regardless of your brewing methods, you must have coffee beans to make coffee. In a post-collapse situation, coffee may be as powerful a barter item as ammo. However coffee does have a shelf-life and unless vacuum packed, it will absorb other flavors as well as lose its own. Freeze dried coffee will last quite a while as well, but in my opinion as a gift card-carrying coffee snob, things will have to really hit the fan before I’ll get excited about the freeze dried stuff.
Roast Your Own
Now all this assumes you have roasted coffee beans in your possession. If you only have green (unroasted) coffee beans, you will need to roast them first. While more of an art than a procedure, roasting coffee beans can be done using simple tools. With little more than a camp stove and old-school stove-top popcorn maker, coffee beans can be roasted into drinkable condition. Just don’t get your hopes up right away as there are far more ways to destroy your beans then to roast them. Home roasting is best done outdoors due to the smoke, but remember, there are only two main roasting mistakes once you have the right temperature dialed in: not roasting long enough, and roasting for too long. Other than that, its just a game of getting it right for your taste.
One For The Road
Survival has both hard edges and soft ones. As has been discovered through countless investigations of who lives and who dies when the SHTF, a positive attitude plays as much a role as having the right equipment. If one intends to live through the dark times, then one must learn to smell the roses though the smoke. If you don’t then you are already at a serious disadvantage. Instead, prepare to drink up and know when the world starts to crumble, you will preserve one of the finest aspects of modern society: the cup of coffee.

Excellent article and very good thoughts. If the SHTF, I'm really going to miss having my morning coffee. Coffee is the first thing I pack when heading out to go camping.
Forget all that unnecessary work and equipment, just stock up on FD instant coffee (Folgers for me)! Don't make a mountain out of a molehill, in the end, coffee is a luxury item, especially after SHTF! I personally store about a year's worth, but even though it may be a good barter item, it'll definitely be the last thing I would barter with! Good Luck!
I am not sure this world would be worth living without coffee. First week would be rough. Good read.
You can buy tons of instant coffee CHEAP in sealed packets and they come in small in boxes . You van buy containers of fresh ground sealed they last for years.
Well, the million dollar question is, how long WILL coffee actually store. We have about 120 pounds of Costco sealed 3 pound bags in large air tight Rubbermaid containers. I noticed that the fresh smell of coffee no longer emits from the bags of coffee during rotation.
So how long does reasonably packaged coffee store?
Your coffee was stale when you bought it, next time buy green coffee. Shelf life is about 3 to 4 years. I bought mine at coffeebeancorral.com
I buy and store coffee grounds for at least a year as long as it stays sealed. Cans are best but the sealed cans of MH or Folgers work well with the inert gas and top seal too.
Actually, there are stories of green coffee beans having been found in pyramids that were extremely old but were roasted anyway. They apparently were still good. It's only after roasting that the bean will begin to deteriorate and the three main reasons a coffee bean will deteriorate is sunlight, moisture and air.
Thanks, Hugh Vail for continuing the great prepper tradition of very valuable info posted for free!
I drink 4 cups every morning at work. I like to treat myself to a more expensive cup from a local coffee shop BUT if things were tight, much less SHTF or survival, coffee would be one of the first things I gave up and not high on the barter list.
Are all instant coffee freezed dried? I know MH and Folgers are….any others?
Oooh cool info. Quite the Starbucks beans you have there!
Trader Joe's makes excellent freeze dried coffee, in a large glass jar, for about $4. Way better than the supermarket brands.
No mention of a percolating coffee pot. I own two, one is part of a camp set and the other one is a household item stored in a closet. Comes in handy when the electricity is out but the gas stove is working.
excellent post on my favorite subject.. i have busted beans with the steel butt of my rifle a few times, ground them down for cowboy coffee, evcepting i add a bit of rusty horse shoe to take the bitter out or drop in an egg shell and whit of the egg to mellow it, and use a dirty gym sock to filter it through for real stand up and kick yer butt int gear coffee
i wonder if we could plant a coffee tree and grow our own beans..would i have to have a hothouse since coffee is a tropical fruit? how many trees would one have to have to raise a good crop of beans..just wondering
I like cowboy coffee a pinch of salt level scant teaspoon per cup of coffee per drop in an egg boil for 7 minutes
and you have breakfast if your lucky enough to have smoked bacon a slice or 2 on a stick over the same fire and
wahoo got to let the coffee to cool / settle a minute you don't want a mouth full of grounds or to remove your lip prints.

The Japanese believe that bathing in coffee grounds fermented with pineapple pulp will reduce wrinkles and beautify the skin and there is a spa in Japan that lets you bathe in coffee, tea, or wine. I wouldn’t drink it though…
Before coffee caught on in the US in the 1700s, beer was breakfast drink of choice. Difficult choice!

Beethoven counted the number of coffee beans he used to make his coffee and insisted on 60 beans per cup.
During the American Civil War soldiers who were craving coffee and couldn’t get it tried roasting sweet potatoes and corn to make a beverage similar to coffee. It obviously didn’t become a popular choice.

According to David Levitsky, PhD, professor of nutritional science at Cornell University, “Caffeine decreases the rate at which the stomach dumps its contents into the duodenum – a part of the small intestine where digestion takes place – and also increases metabolic rate.” so sipping a cup post-meal could, in small part, help promote a healthy weight.
Water is the only beverage more popular than coffee.

In Costa Rica, coffees are graded as ‘Strictly Hard Bean’, ‘Good Hard Bean’, ‘Hard Bean’, ‘Medium Hard Bean’, ‘High Grown Atlantic’, ‘Medium Grown Atlantic’, and ‘Low Grown Atlantic’. Those coffee beans from Colombia are labelled as ‘Supremo’, ‘Excelso’, ‘Extra’ and the lowest grade, ‘Pasilla’.
In 1763, there were over 200 coffee shops in Venice.
Caffeine is on the International Olympic Committee list of prohibited substances. Athletes who test positive for more than 12 micrograms of caffeine per millilitre of urine may be banned from the Olympic Games. This level may be reached after drinking about 5 cups of coffee.

It was said that cowboys made their coffee by putting ground coffee into a sock (hopefully a clean one) and immersed it in water heated over a camp fire. When ready, they would pour the coffee into tin cups and drink it.
A study from the Harvard School of Public Health, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that women who regularly drink fully caffeinated coffee have a 20% lower risk of depression than non-coffee drinkers. The study, which followed a group of women for 10 years, found that as more coffee was consumed (up to six cups per day), the likelihood of depression decreased.
There are two major coffee markets in the world. One is in London, which deals with the buying of Robusta coffee. The other is the ‘C’ contract market, known as Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange (CSCE), which is in New York. It handles the trade of Arabica coffee. The ‘C’ market is also a futures market.

Coffee, Niacin and PGD2 = Hair loss
Coffee, Niacin and PGD2 = Hair loss

It is very hard to convince people. I knew EVERYTIME I drank coffee it followed with itching and rapid shed.

I know , that's why I posted this.
Did you know coffee had loads of niacin. I personally did not. Now I am not saying coffee is the cause of hair loss. Obviously not. I used to drink coffee before the low carb diet and it did not cause any hair shed. It was after the low carb diet and associated health damage coffee started affecting my hair health.

nope, it was your genetics. Prove me wrong by getting a genetics test that comes up negative for baldness gene.

I guess the folks at hairlosstalk cant keep you busy so you've wondered around here.

You deserve every bit of character attacks and perhaps more. Where did I say coffee kick started my MPB?. I did not say it, I actually clearly stated coffee did not affect my hair prior to the low carb diet I did. I had no hair loss until age 27. none. I did south beach diet for three months and stopped when my hair started to fall. my hair loss never stopped since then.

right on the third paragraph.
How can you be like this 2020? How can you live with yourelf when you are so sloppy in your thinking and reading. You do not even read man. As I stated in the first paragraph My hair loss was started by a low carb diet. Coffee did not affect my hair before this. I already said this. but you do not read. I gave the coffee example to link to inflammation response, which all makes sense now with the PGD2 research and niacin in coffee.

chronic, low level systematic inflammation. PGD2 research shows inflammation may be the key part of hair loss.

Long term: reducing inflammation by eliminating/limiting the foods that cause it. Supplements alone do not appear to be enough due to their short half lives in blood or simply because they are not taken in sufficient amounts due to megadosing fears.
^ this simply won't happen! NO DIET IN THE WORLD HAS EVER REVERSED MALE PATTERN BALDNESS!

Wall Mounted Coffee Grinders or Mills
This mill was manufactured by the Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Ill. for the Citizens Wholesale Supply Co. of Columbus, Ohio. Citizens sold medicines, candies, toiletries and their Golden Rule blend of coffee from 1900 to 1920. The coffee was so popular that they had Arcade make them this mill. The front reads
THE FINEST BLEND
THE CITIZENS WHOLESALE SUPPLY CO.
This mill was in fairly rough shape when I got it with almost 100years of dust and grease covering it so it was disassembled and all the internal metal parts were wire brushed down to bare metal and the external wooden parts were lightly sanded and refinished with an antique oil finish. It had a hole that someone had drilled in the back to hang it off a hook that I repaired. The metal plaque on the front retains it's original finish and it's original glass window that allows you to see how much coffee remains in the grinder. This mill is now in very good condition and ready to put back to work if you wish. It comes with an original Arcade No. 3 catch cup which was the one that was originally used with these mills. It has measure marks 2, 4, 6 and 8 on the front with hash marks in between for the odd numbers. The bottom is embossed with Arcade Mfg. Co. Freeport Ill. with a number 3 in the middle. The catch cup has a tiny flea bite on the upper lip and an inclusion (looks like a scratch but is from when it was made) in the glass that starts right below the embossed "r" in "Freeport Ill." and loops under it in the base. The square lid on top is original and is more rare than the round lid that is usually found on these.
This is the last of the crystal series of coffee mills manufactured by Arcade. The 9010 was manufactured in the 1920's and has a very sleek, art deco look with vertical lines running throughout the mill. It has the majority of it's original finish but there are some small areas where surface rust had started to develop. These were oiled and cleaned to stop them from advancing. I installed a new gasket between the hopper and body as the old one was dried out and hardened. It is in overall very good condition with only the following flaws to report. There is some minor chipping around the top lip of the hopper that is most likely from when the glass was ground at the factory and there are two areas (front and back) of missing glass on the lower lip of the hopper where it is clamped into place by the body halves. These were most likely caused when the original gasket gave out and the hopper was allowed to move back and forth. They do not affect usability and are not even visible unless you look down into the hopper or disassemble the grinder. The lid is in good shape with no dents but does have original paint loss and some paint spots from when Grandpa painted the kitchen. The original catch cup is almost flawless and looks like it just left the factory. This mill has been thoroughly cleaned so it's ready to hang and use. This 9010 mill measures approx. 16" tall with the catch cup and a little less than 4" wide not including the adjustment knob.
This Arcade Crystal No 3. had almost no original finish left when I got it so it was sandblasted and repainted in a semi-gloss black which is very close to an original finish. It has a glass hopper with no chips or cracks which is embossed with "Crystal No. 3". It has the original "Arcade" embossed lid which has a few very light dents but screws on and off easily and is also embossed "Arcade Crystal" on the cast iron body. The gasket between the glass hopper and the cast iron body was replaced as it had dried out and was not holding the hopper as it should. The top lip of the hopper has a small bubble that burst through when it was being blown, it has been smoothed over so there are no sharp edges. It has a replacement horseshoe and star catch cup that is very close in size and style to the original cup. This mill has been thoroughly cleaned with anything not painted being wire brushed down to bare metal. It measures about 19" from the top to the bottom of the pull ring.
The original finish on this mill was almost completely gone so the mill was sandblasted down to bare metal with 100% of the original finish being removed, the cast iron was wire brushed to a high sheen and given a few coats of a clear enamel to give it an industrial look, (Arcade did make some No. 3's with a nickel finish and this looks very similar to those). It has it's original embossed "Arcade" lid that does have some small dents but screws on and off easily. The hoper is embossed "Arcade Crystal No. 3 and has some fine scratches and use marks as should be expected of a tool of this age. It is embossed "Arcade" and "Crystal" on the main body of the mill above the handle. I installed some new gasket material between the body and the hopper because the old one had dried out and was not holding the hopper in place as it should. It has an old horseshoe and star cup that fits well in place of the original catch cup. This entire mill has been thoroughly cleaned with the interior parts wire brushed to bare metal and the exterior carefully cleaned and/or refinished. It measures about 19" from the top to the bottom of the pull ring.
Manufactured by the Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Ill. this Crystal No. 3 coffee mill still has the majority of it's original finish left but had been painted over several times when Grandpa did the kitchen walls so it was cleaned to bare metal and repainted in a semi-gloss white. It has an embossed "Crystal No. 3" hopper with the original embossed "Arcade" lid. It is also embossed and highlighted in gold with "Arcade" and "Crystal" on the main body of the mill. I added a little extra gasket material between the body and the hopper because the old one had shrunken slightly with age and was not holding the hopper in place as it should. It has an old horseshoe and star catch cup replacing the original. There is some slight roughness where the base of the lid meets the hopper but this is from when it was manufactured and is not a defect. This mill has been thoroughly cleaned with the interior parts being wire brushed to bare metal and the exterior carefully cleaned and refinished. It measures about 19" from the top to the bottom of the pull ring.
This mill is actually a two for one deal. You are getting a functional coffee mill along with a piece of art. I'm not quite sure what to call the artistic style on this mill but it's somewhere between Pennsylvania Dutch and tramp art. The mill was manufactured by the Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Ill. It has it's original glass hopper embossed with "Crystal No. 4 in cursive script and panels which follow through to the cast iron body that is embossed with "Arcade". The lid is original and is embossed "Arcade" in cursive script. This mill has some wear to the paint that was added to the glass hopper and a few spots of paint that were slopped on when grandpa painted the kitchen but the black underneath is the original finish and is in good condition with minimal paint loss. All internal and external parts have been wire brushed or cleaned as needed. I lightly cleaned the outside of the hopper so there was no additional paint loss. This mill is equipped with an old jelly jar as a replacement catch cup so it's ready to hang and use.
Manufactured by the Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Ill. this No. 40 Arcade coffee mill has a clear glass hopper embossed with "Crystal No. 4" in cursive script and panels which follow through to the cast iron body that is embossed with "Arcade". The lid is original and is embossed "Arcade" in cursive script. The original gasket between the hopper and the cast iron body was still in good shape and only needed a slight amount of extra material added to hold the hopper tightly in place. The screw and nut that hold the catch assembly to the body are replacements but these are not normally used as the hole becomes a third mounting point. This mill had some light surface rust on the exterior of the body but a coat of Liquid Gold and a light brushing cleaned it up well enough that I decided to leave it as is. All internal and external parts were wire brushed or cleaned as needed so it's ready to hang and use.
The Crystal No. 1 was the first glass hopper mill produced by Arcade. This mill has it's original un-embossed lid and hopper and a replacement catch cup.
Although this mill is identified as a No. 1 mill on the embossing above the catch cup, I refer to these as an "improved" or a "1.5" No. 1 Arcade coffee mill. I can only assume that Arcade discovered that the original No. 1 design which used rubber grommets to hold the catch cup needed improvement so they removed the grommets and added a spring loaded catch assembly.
This mill was a rusty mess with a rusted through lid so it was cleaned to bare metal and repainted in semi-gloss enamel. It had new gasket material between the glass hopper and the body and a replacement lid was added along with a horseshoe catch cup. The grind is adjusted with the screw that goes through the back of the grinder.
This is the first of two versions of the rare Fruit Jar mill made by Arcade. Both models will take either a pint, quart or two quart canning jar with a threaded lip. These are hard to find complete with all the original parts as this one is. The original finish was almost non existent except for a small area that remained on the back so it was sandblasted and repainted in a semi-gloss black that is very close to the original finish.
The screw on lid of the canning jar has a shut off flap that allows you to refill the jar and flip it onto the grinder. It is secured to the body of the mill with a round thumb screw that tightens against it through the side of the body. The flap is then opened to allow the beans to flow through to the grinder
It measures right around 15" tall with a quart sized fruit jar.
This mill was manufactured by the Arcade Mfg. Co. of Freeport, Ill. around 1900. This X-Ray mill w as covered with green paint, the back board had splits through the mounting holes and was badly chipped on the sides so the back board was replaced, the rest of the wood was stripped then lightly sanded and finished with a golden oak stain and an antique oil finish. The glass viewing window was broken so it was replaced with an older pane of glass which now has a reproduced Arcade X-Ray label attached. This mill has it's original japanned finish on the exterior of the cast iron and the mill was completely disassembled and cleaned to like new condition with all the interior parts wire brushed to bare metal. A washer was placed between the handle and the body of the grinder to increase the clearance between the handle and the hopper holding the coffee. (Many of the x-ray mills have the two notches or rub marks where the handle would hit the front of the box when rotated). The wing nut is not an original Arcade but is from another make of coffee grinder from the same era and works well. This mill comes equipped with a reproduction catch cup which is almost identical to an original. The length of the wood portion is right around 11 1/2" (14 3/4" long with the catch cup hanging at the bottom), 4 3/4" wide and 3 1/2" deep.
This is an Arcade No. 25 coffee grinder that was produced sometime around 1910 - 1930 by Arcade in Freeport, Illinois. It has a cast iron body with Arcade embossed on the neck and Arcade 25 embossed on the hopper along with scrollwork on the arm of the handle. The lid is an original embossed Arcade that fits well and screws on and off easily. An older horse shoe cup with panels is used in place of the original catch cup which was long gone by the time I got it. The original finish is present and has some minor paint loss but was cleaned, oiled and left as is. All interior parts have been thoroughly wire brushed to bare metal so it's once again ready to grind. The original gasket that is between the glass hopper and the body was present but needed to have a little additional material added as it had hardened and no longer held the hopper in place as it should. A washer was added between the handle and body to ensure that the handle will rotate without touching the glass. There are some air bubbles in the glass hopper as is normal with a piece of this age but it has no chips or cracks. . This is one of the shortest of the Arcade wall mount mills at 15 1/2" so these can be mounted under most modern day cabinets (with the cup mount overhanging the back-splash.)
Arcade made the #25 mills in several slightly different versions. Although they all had the same cast iron body style, some are embossed on the neck below the hopper with "Arcade", but others have no embossed name at all and yet others are found with the names "Atwood", or "Lees" embossed. Some were produced with "Arcade 25" embossed hoppers and others have plain hoppers. No one seems to know exactly why this was, but I suspect that Arcade may have manufactured some of these mills for distribution by other companies.
This is an Arcade No. 25 coffee grinder that was manufactured by Arcade in Freeport, Illinois. It had almost none of it's original finish left by the time I got it so it was sandblasted to bare metal and repainted in a semi-gloss black which is very close to the original color. The grinder body is plain with only the handle having some fancy scrollwork. The original gasket that is between the glass hopper and the body was present but needed to be replaced as it had hardened and no longer held the hopper in place as it should. The glass hopper has no chips or cracks. All internal parts were wire brushed to bare metal and the exterior and glass were thoroughly cleaned so it's ready to grind. This mill has an old lid that may not be original to the grinder but is from the same era and an old horseshoe embossed catch cup. This is one of the shortest of the Arcade wall mount mills at 15 1/2" so these can be mounted under most modern day cabinets (with the cup mount overhanging the back-splash.)
This is an early style Arcade Crystal No. 3 Catch Cup that was supplied with the No. 3 coffee grinders when they were new. Not very many of these have survived through the years as they were often broken and rather than pay the 15ў that Arcade wanted for a real replacement glass they would just substitute any glass they had which would fit. It has measure marks 2, 4, 6 and 8 on the front with hash marks in between for the odd numbers. The bottom is embossed with Arcade Mfg. Co. Freeport Ill. with a number 3 in the middle. There are no chips or cracks on this glass, but here is a small inclusion that looks like a scratch starting above the "3" in the base and running to the outside edge. This and the bubbles present in the glass are common with these cups and is from when it was produced. The glass is clear, but the glass on these earlier cups tends to have a slightly darker tint to it. This cup as well as all original Arcade cups measures approximately 3 3/4 inches tall.
This is the later style of original catch cup that Arcade used on the Crystal No. 3 mills. It has measure marks 2 - 14 on the front with hash marks in between for the odd numbers and Tablespoons written across the top. The bottom is embossed with Arcade Mfg. Co. Freeport Ill. with a number 3 in the middle. There are no chips or cracks on this glass, just some minor scratches and the usual swirl marks and some straw marks from the manufacturing process. There are some heavier straw marks in the base of the cup. None of these are cracks and most likely formed during the cooling process.
This is an original Arcade Crystal No. 4 or No. 40 coffee grinder catch cup. Even fewer of these are found as the production runs of the No.'s 4 and 40 were much smaller than the No. 3's. It has measure marks 2 - 14 on the front with hash marks in between for the odd numbers and Tablespoons written across the top. The bottom is embossed with "Arcade Mfg. Co" with a number "4" in the middle and "Freeport, Ill" below that. This cup has a few of t he usual straw marks and bubbles in the glass from the manufacturing process and there is a small chip on the back of one of the ridges and another tiny spot on the front that I believe is from when it was made. This cup as well as all original Arcade cups measures approximately 3 3/4 inches tall.
I refer to the two cups shown as Arcade "Generic" cups as they was used on many grinders manufactured by Arcade. This is the earlier version of the cup with the writing on the base more towards the center and the base itself is slightly more concave than the later "Generic" cup. In addition to the Arcade 25's this cup also came with the Golden Rule, Bell, and Monarch mills. This cup has no measure marks on the side, and is only identified by the "Arcade Mfg. Co. Freeport Ill." that is embossed in the base of the cup. As is usual with glass of this age there are the normal swirls and straw marks, but there are no chips or cracks to report on this cup. This cup as well as all original Arcade cups measures approximately 3 3/4 inches tall.
This is the later of the two Arcade "Generic" cups used on many grinders manufactured by Arcade. This later version of the cup has the writing on the base more towards the outer edge and the base itself is slightly less concave than the earlier "Generic" cup. In addition to the Arcade 25's this cup also came with the Golden Rule, Bell, and Monarch mills. This cup has no measure marks on the side, and is only identified by the "Arcade Mfg. Co. Freeport Ill." that is embossed in the base of the cup. As is usual with glass of this age there are the normal swirls and straw marks, and this cup also has some very minor chips near the base edge. This cup as well as all original Arcade cups measures approximately 3 3/4 inches tall.
This is an Enterprise No. 100 which was manufactured by in Philadelphia, PA. starting in 1917. It retains it's original tin lid and about 90% of it's original rare white with gold trim finish. There is quite a bit of tan wall paint covering the mounting brackets that I didn't try to remove as the paint usually bonds together (grandpa couldn't be bothered to take it off the wall when he was painting). It has a horseshoe and star catch cup replacing the original cup. It has been completely disassembled, cleaned to like new condition and is ready to use.
This is an Enterprise No. 100 with the more commonly seen original black with gold trim finish. The finish on the body is in fair condition but because the original gold highlights are still there it was oiled and brushed and left as is. The hopper is in good condition with the normal bubbles and straw-marks found in glass from this time period. The hoppers on these mills were made in a two piece mold and screw directly onto the grinder body rather than being clamped in place. It has a horseshoe tumbler that is very close in size and shape replacing the original catch cup. It has been completely disassembled, cleaned to like new condition and is ready to use.
Original Catch Cup for the Enterprise No. 100
Enterprise No. 100 Coffee Grinder or Mill
This is a very rare grinder that is a part of my personal collection. It is an earlier version of the 100 that is not shown in any of the Coffee Mill reference books and I have only seen one other complete example. It has a glass catch cup assembly that is similar to an Arcade No. 1 with the catch cup sliding between two rubber guides. The catch cup is embossed "Enterprise" on the front and has measure marks 1-5 and "Tablespoons" embossed on the back. This was manufactured in 1915 which is two years before the 1917 date given for the later Enterprise No. 100.
Freidag Wardway Coffee Grinder or Mill
This is a rare grinder manufactured by the Freidag Mfg. Co. that was located in Freeport Il. along with the Arcade Mfg. Co. This is their "Wardway" hopper mill that was sold by Montgomery Ward along with their other "Diamond Cut" mill. Both of the mills manufactured by Freidag used adjustment mechanisms that were unique. This mill used a knurled screw adjustment that moves the grinding cones closer together when moved toward the "F" or fine side or further apart when adjusted towards the "C" or coarse side. They appear to have sold both mills with either hopper attached. The hopper is embossed "Wardway" on the front and back and has a threaded base which screws into the body. There was NO finish on this mill when I got it except for a small patch on the back of the catch cup assembly. It was also missing the metal plate which covers the back side of the grinding mechanism so a copy was made using another identical grinder in my collection. The entire grinder was taken down to bare metal inside and out and refinished in a semi gloss black enamel. The only thing to report is that there is a small area with some bubbles in the glass below the "a" in Wardway but no chips or cracks. It has a horseshoe and star glass as a replacement catch cup. This mill has been thoroughly cleaned and is ready to be put to work again if you wish.
This coffee grinder was manufactured By Landers Frary & Clark in New Britain CT. Called "one of the best wall mills ever made" by Joseph Edward MacMillan in his book The MacMillan Index of Antique Coffee Mills. This mill has a rare original glass hopper that is embossed with "Universal LF&C". I added a ball rubber gasket inside the body below the hopper to prevent any further chipping and so it stops when centered. The No. 24 is the only grinder that has a quick release mechanism where you loosen a bolt and remove the entire grinder from the wall for filling. It has a few minor scrapes and areas where the paint was chipped on the original black finish but is in very good condition overall. The hopper has one larger chip at the base and some chipping on threads but screws on and off easily and none of the chips are visible when the hopper is screwed in place. It has a Hazel Atlas Jelly jar replacing the original catch cup which I believe were unmarked. It has been completely disassembled, cleaned to like new condition and is ready to use. It measures right around 18" tall.
The No. 24 coffee grinder was manufactured By Landers Frary & Clark in New Britain CT. One of the great things about the No. 24's is that almost any threaded "Mason" style jar will work as a hopper. This mill has an old glass hopper that is open on both ends. It has a screw on porcelain lined canning jar lid that allows you to refill it from the top or you can unscrew the hopper from the base as it was originally designed. The body on this one was very rough with more rust than finish left. It was sandblasted to 100% bare metal and was then wire brushed to brighten the cast iron. It was finished with a clear enamel to keep the finish stable. It has a "Ball" rubber between the jar and body at the base to prevent any chipping and an old jelly jar used as a catch cup. The No. 24 is the only grinder that was designed with a quick release mechanism where you loosen a thumb screw and remove the entire grinder from the wall and unscrew the hopper for filling. It has been disassembled and all interior and exterior parts have been thoroughly cleaned to like new condition and is ready to use. It measures right around 18" tall.
This is a No. 24 coffee mill manufactured in New Britain CT. by Landers Frary and Clark. It was in tough shape when I got it with surface rust and almost none of the original finish left so it was sandblasted and repainted in a semi-gloss black enamel. It has an old Wan-Eta Cocoa Boston canning jar used as a hopper. (I looked around forever for a brown catch cup to fit this but I finally decided nobody made one and gave up) It has a "Ball" rubber between the jar and body so that the jar faces forward when tight, and an old jelly jar in place of the original catch cup. The No. 24 is the only grinder that has a quick release mechanism where you loosen a bolt and remove the entire grinder from the wall for filling. It has been disassembled and all interior and exterior parts have been thoroughly cleaned to like new condition and is ready to use. It measures right around 18" tall
This coffee grinder was manufactured By Landers Frary & Clark in New Britain CT. It has been completely refinished and repainted in a semi-gloss black enamel as the original finish was mostly gone and the grinder had quite a bit of surface rust. It was called "one of the best wall mills ever made" by Joseph Edward MacMillan in his book The MacMillan Index of Antique Coffee Mills. This mill has a clear Hazel Atlas Glass Co. canning sized jar in place of the original hopper and a Hazel atlas jelly jar with it's original lid as a catch cup. The No. 24 is the only grinder that has a quick release mechanism where you loosen a bolt and remove the entire grinder from the wall for filling.. I added a cut down ball jar rubber on the interior where it threads in that allows it to stop with the blank panel of the canning jar facing forward and to prevent the jar from chipping. It has been disassembled, cleaned to like new condition and is ready to hang and use. It measures right around 18 1/2" tall
Manufactured by the Charles Parker Companies of Meriden CT. this mill features a hopper embossed with "Parker", the number "449" directly below the hopper, and "Pat. Dec. 4. 1917 on the handle. It has it's original tin lid and black Japanned finish. There is some scraping of the paint on the catch assembly but it is hidden by the catch cup. The interior has been cleaned so it's ready to be used again. It comes with an older replacement catch glass.
This is an original catch cup used by Parker on their glass hopper coffee mills. This cup was definitely used on the No. 441, 446 and the Rev-O-Noc and I believe it was used on at least some of the other wall mount mills made by Parker. There are bubbles, small imperfections and waviness throughout the glass and a mold seam that runs up the sides but no chips or cracks. This one has raised lettering on the glass and I believe there was also a very similar version made with white acid etched lettering.
Wilmot Castle Coffee Grinder or Mill
This is one of the earliest of the canister coffee mills and I assume this is a very early one as it doesn't even have it's patent date of 1891 embossed below the hopper as most do. It's hopper is now well worn, but some of the outlines of where it would have been originally painted with "Wilmot Castle", "Do not regrind with this mill" and usually the name of a hardware store who would have been the one to distributed the mill are still visible. Although I see no reason why this couldn't be used with a more through cleaning, I would consider this more of a display piece rather than a grinder for daily use so I have only cleaned and oiled the outside of this mill. This mill was made with two different catch assemblies and I believe this is the first variation with a screw off cup (the second variation had a sleeve around the cup with a twist and lock mechanism on the sleeve. This catch cup has a large chip out of the upper lip which is hidden when it is screwed in place but I believe it is original to the mill.
