Be Ha or Bernhard Coffee Mills...

Postby WestTexasDerek on Tue Apr 19, 2011 12:35 am

Buying & restoring the old German & Dutch hand coffee grinders is becoming a favorite hobby of mine. I have some DeVes, a TreSpade, a Trosser, and a couple of these Be Ha grinders. I have been looking all over for information about them. The only tidbit of info I could find was that maybe Zassenhaus bought Bernhard out. I don't even know if this even remotely correct. Does anyone know anything about Be Ha grinders?

Hi - there is a little information over in the hand grinder hand jive thread:

A question:
Hand (grinder) Jive - a photo essay

A reply:
Hand (grinder) Jive - a photo essay

Not much, but it might help - btw, that thread is long but full of old hand mill photos and info.

Thank you, Eric. I did see those posts before. I have read a lot of that thread already, too. It is responsible for getting me into collecting hand grinders. I appreciate the reply.

I have some minor cosmetic work to do on some. After that, I will get the photos up.
