Thank you so much for everything! The package was wrapped beautifully and well taken care of!
I truly appreciate it! The grinder itself is absolutely amazing! Thank you again!!!

Well I broke down and bought this coffee grinder a couple of weeks ago. I was very pleased with way the order was handled by RedRooster and PayPal. I was notified promptly of payment received, order process, and order shipped. Fabulous job.
But 5 good reasons to buy the Camano Coffee Mill are:
1. For those who worry about trees the instructions are no different than on web. Very little paper wasted on that.
2. Environmentally it does save some on electricity
3. If a normal male who fails to read instructions they are basically none existent, so no guilt.
4. It does take some effort and time to use but I have discovered it is wonderful to grind coffee as I read political news. Frustration and anger helps turn the crank.
5 MOST IMPORTANT THOUGH, THE FLAVOR OF COFFEE IS FABULOUS. NEVER NOTICED MUCH DIFFERENCE IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEANS BEFORE
I highly enjoy as does my wife.

PS the most difficult part for us was removing unit from burlap bag it was in.
Thanks for wonderful addition, beautiful and very functional, to our kitchen.

Hey Britta and company,
Just wanted to let you know that the new updated grinder is totally fantastic! What an upgrade! It’s just so awesome to find folks devoted to their craft and the creation of high quality products in this day of dispensable disposable garbage. Keep up the awesome work! And thanks for the replacement piece for the old grinder. Fits great and already getting used for spices.
All the very best,
Craig

Hi, Britta!
I just wanted to let you know that the Camano coffee grinder for my son was TRULY the PERFECT gift!!! My daughter said that whenever they would go to antique stores, Michael always loves to look at the COFFEE GRINDERS! He could hardly believe the gift and he was so pleased!
Now, even though he and his wife have a very expensive electric coffee maker and grinder, she said Michael is hand grinding his whole coffee beans, because he said he can actually TASTE A DIFFERENCE in the coffee when hand ground …and it is much better! He is a perfectionist in his workmanship (actually ALL that he does !), thus was
MOST IMPRESSED with Justin’s values and HIS craftsmanship!!
THANK YOU AGAIN SO VERY MUCH for making this ‘PERFECT GIFT’ even possible!
In love, Diane

I’ve had my coffee grinder (Camano Coffee Mill & Traveling Coffee) for nearly 2 years now, and I still adore it. <3 Thanks a million for this sturdy, durable and beautiful piece of art.

Justin and Britta,
I loved working with both of you and feel as if I know you! Justin took care of me like I was one of the family. He worked with me on pricing & shipping and was so accommodating to all my specifications! I’ve seen plenty of “reclaimed wood” products out there but none match up to the quality of the true 100+ year old barn wood that Justin uses in his pieces! Not to mention the unique antique/salvage pieces he collects to incorporate into each one of a kind piece and creates his own designs!
Justin is a true artist and it’s evident in his work! Every last detail…I’ve had over 50 guests up at my cabin and my sled table is the biggest conversation piece! Why fill your home with production line pieces that we’ve all seen in every store and website? The craftsmanship and uniqueness of Justin’s pieces are timeless and worth every penny! Not to mention, they’re indestructible and true family heirlooms! I’m proud to have a genuine Red Rooster, one of a kind, sled coffee table in my cabin and will treasure it for a lifetime!

You guys make the best coffee grinder. It’s been a beloved part of my daily coffee routine for over 5 years now. While traveling this past year I left the grinder with my dad, and now that I’m home I don’t have the heart to take it back! He’s hooked, so I made a gift of it and bought another. Its quality and beauty, and the fact that it’s handcrafted in the USA, makes it a feel-good investment which I recommend to anyone who loves a freshly ground cup of coffee.
Thank you, you guys are awesome. FYI while my brother was staying with my parents he also fell in love with it and got himself one! It’s contagious in the best way :)
Best wishes,
Rebecca

I just wanted to let you know we received the Camano Mills, and they look fantastic. You should be very proud of your work, I am very leased. The mechanical improvements are excellent, as well as the fit and finish. We have been testing a Camano here for a few days… I’m very pleased, the grinding mechanism is excellent.

My wife uses this regularly and loves it.
My little girls like to “Be pioneer women” and use the grinder to make coffee for mom.
Fun gift for those that find it beautiful. My wife definitely does.

Dear Britta & Justin,
A Bialetti Stovetop Espresso Maker, An Aerolatte and your CAMANO coffee mill – your coffee mill made enjoying coffee in Canada possible
– finally!
YUM YUMMMM I was enjoying you coffee mill a lot this week. It’s perfect! The wood, the metal, the jar bottom and the second jar from the bundle to switch … Just WoW. Love it! The adjustment you made for me is perfect, too – couldn’t buy such fine espresse (nor coffee) here. And the smell … YUMMMM
I hope my friends will feel the same when they will get the second mill I ordered for Christmas … they will, I am very certain.
Have a very Merry Chritsmas and further success with your awesome products!!!
HUGGGGGGGG

Hi Britta & Justin
I’ve put this off long enough so here goes. ‘Yee-Haw’… That’s my way of saying I like your stuff. Especially the ‘hand made’ part. I’ve been grinding my own coffee beans for a long time. First the blade grinder-no consistency, then the electric grinder-generates too much heat resulting in ‘burnt’ grounds. Then I saw ‘Dances with Wolves’ and watched Kevin Costner hand grind coffee for the Indians and I said “Now that’s what I need.”
Then I found you folks. Don’t remember how but I did and I’ve been enjoying great coffee ever since.
I thank God for you and the stuff you make,
Dale

The Mabana pepper grinder arrived today…it is beautiful!! It will be hard for me to wait until Christmas to give it to my husband:))
Have a Blessed Christmas and thanks for the great product and service.

Hey, I just wanted to stop by and let you know…WOW!! I ordered a coffee grinder from you only a couple days ago and already it has come. To start with, your packaging is superior. Even though this is a Christmas present for someone else, it was quite a treat for me opening up your packaging and seeing your beautiful presentation. As for the coffee grinder, it is so so beautiful! I’m not much a coffee drinker myself, I prefer tea, but I’m trying to figure out any excuse to order one for myself. I am so happy that I opened up the newest edition of Martha Stewart Living and found your products, as I will be sure to come to you for future birthdays and Christmases (and maybe spoil myself occasionally!).
Thanks so much,
Cerisse

Dear Britta and Justin,
Just wanted to say that I finally got my mill today {U.K.}, and that I’m very pleased with it. It’s a pleasure to use, and I’m currently enjoying the best cup of coffee I’ve had in a long time – great french press with no dust and dregs! Count me as one of your many satisfied customers.
All the best
John

The coffee grinder arrived today YIPPEEEE!!!!! I’m so impressed!! I love the hand made quality and it’s just so inventive too. The detail of love that so obviously goes into this beautiful gift is unique indeed. I love the shredded newspaper, the burlap bag, and the card. I’m so happy to be giving a hand made gift of such high quality, it’s just amazing! My coffee nerd is going to love love love this!!!

Thanks again,

What a great little coffee grinder, so easy to use and adjust. The packaging with its label, custom box and burlap bag was quite an unexpected treat. Not only is the grinder most attractive but it comes suitably packaged as its own gift wrapping. Top that off with excellent communication from a vendor selling a product made in the USA, what more could one ask. Now, with a US made, stove top, stainless steel percolator we’re all set.
Thank you.

Thanks, Britta! I appreciate the extra touches. Here’s a little story for you:
Last Friday afternoon, at an outing with my department at work, the vice president gave me a cigar on the balcony and we talked for an hour about a shared affinity for things that are low-tech, nostalgic, and/or put us back in touch with simpler ways and times. Of course i had to mention Red Rooster Trading Company, and told him all about my new manual coffee grinder. Among other things, i told him that the the visceral pleasure of feeling the slight resistance of the beans as i grind away really adds a whole new dimension to the enjoyment of the coffee (which is organic and fair-trade, naturally). He was smiling the whole time i talked about it, and said he would absolutely check it out. First thing Monday morning, i sent him an e-mail reminder with the website name, as i said i would. He wrote back right away, “I already bought it!”

My new coffee grinder arrived yesterday and I’m not sure what I like the best–the coffee grinder or the cool way you packaged it!
I suppose it is funny to take such delight in some shredded newspaper, burlap and a few printed tags, but there it is: I was delighted! It was pure fun opening the package–reading a PERSONAL note from a PERSON who lives here in the US and MADE something useful, fun and pleasing to look at.
I didn’t need to grind any coffee, but I had to! And it was fun and produced perfect results. Of course, it wasn’t effortless like using my Braun grinder, but it was how things should be done. My Braun grinder will be going to Goodwill. And, my modest weight-loss goal will be helped along by a tiny bit of added manual effort.
Thanks for a great product.

Dear Britta—We received our Camano Coffee Mail today, and wanted to let you know how pleased we are with your product and your prompt service. The handwritten note was so unexpected, and such a nice touch. My husband is so impressed with the coffee mill. And that doesn’t happen very easily, so that is a huge compliment to your business. Anyway, thank you again!!!! I could have written more!!!!! We are still amazed, too, at the fast delivery in the middle of the horrible nation-wide winter weather. Wishing you the best!!!

We have had our Camano Coffee Mill now for several months and enjoy it as much as the first day it arrived. It combines rustic beauty with durable functionality in a way that makes one look forward to preparing the coffee beans for brewing, no matter the method you choose to brew. Our sense is that each time we use the mill it works better than the last. Perhaps, we are getting used to the grinding process, which in many ways is a lot of fun, or perhaps the machine itself is becoming more efficient the more we use it. Not sure, but that is our impression. This is a hand grinder that every coffee connoisseur should own, particularly those who believe, as we do, in the advantages of grinding by hand instead of by a power-assisted device. Yes, there are other hand grinders out there on the market, some cost more, a few cost less, but the Camano Coffee Mill is a very special device worthy of a place of honor in your kitchen. We certainly like the look and the feel of it, hope you do, too.

Britta, The mill just arrived! It’s beautiful, and we really appreciated the plastic-free packing and the hand-written card. I used it already tonight to make some decaf in my Aerobie AeroPress. I tightened the nut at the top all the way and got a perfect fine grind. I just ordered a French press with some Christmas money and can’t wait to see how well it works for a coarse grind. We’re so pleased with the mill and will recommend your products to all of our coffee-loving friends.
Thanks, Steven

Talk about the best birthday present ever! I am so impressed with this product as well as your care in a plastic free packaging! I have been trying to watch the plastic products in my life–so this Mill fit the bill to replace the electric coffee grinder that I re-homed. So happy to have a REAL product in my hands! Did not expect the awesome care you put in to the natural shipping supplies! The personalized note included was a wonderful touch. Thank you so much.

Can’t wait to get started on my own freshly hand ground coffee this week! You guys were a terrific find online. Thank you, Britta and Justin …and the hand written card…what a special touch….absolutely lovely 8)

Order received this week. Very pleased! Great presentation; the enclosed card was a nice personal touch. Felt like I was receiving a gift not just something I ordered. Very nice quality grinder, Works perfectly.Hand-grinding coffee has turned the morning ritual into something quite special. Its not just the improved taste of the coffee, there is something earthy and visceral about the all hands-on process from grinding to pressing. Well maybe it’s my imagination, but isn’t that what good coffee is all about? Thank you and kind regards.

I wanted a coffee grinder that made little noise, little mess, and gave me total control. I found all this in your mill, and it’s sturdy and easy to use. Your efficient customer support just makes it that much better a product. Keep up the great work, and thanks again for such a no-fuss, quality grinder.

You guys have a wonderful product. I really look forward to grinding my french press in the mornings and the fact very little electricity is used is a plus. Very rugged and adjustable, the grind is excellent. I also love the fact it is from the USA. Good choice of materials thru out. Bravo!

Got it yesterday! Used it this morning. Love it! I made a very coarse grind for a 5 minute soak in a french press and the coffee was wonderful. I think I’ll use this fine little grinder the rest of my life. Thank you for proving American craftsmanship is not at all dead! You should be proud of what you make, as it’s useful, tough, and beautiful.

The grinder you’ve made is an “old soul” though brand new! It is beautifully made: the finish is lovely. I’ve tested my coffee grinder for a couple weeks now, and I am very pleased. It is so easy to use and is perfect for my single cup of coffee in the morning. I know coffee is partly about “waking up”, and the screeching-motor-boat sound of an electric grinder might be considered an aid in the process of rousing from sleep, but I much prefer the pleasingly quiet munching sound my hand grinder makes. Thank you for a quality product that I love.

I LOVE my new coffee mill! No more shattering of the morning peace with the electric grinder. I am so pleased with the consistent grind which was why I was searching for a burr grinder in the first place. Not only was I surprised to find a hand crank coffee mill, but I have a great love of fine woodwork, and your price was amazingly reasonable. Thank you.

Your coffee mill arrived on my doorstep today. I am at a complete loss for words – it is truly exquisite and the pictures on your website don’ t do it justice at all. I have searched for years for the right one – something functional, not just decorative, that had the appeal of an antique grinder. I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase and you are also to be commended on the timeliness of the delivery from the date it was ordered. THANK YOU.

The mill more than meets my expectations. I am not much of a coffee drinker. I use the mill to grind dry seasonings to cook with. One recipe called for a half cup of freshly ground pepper. It would take me forever to grind that much pepper with my previous pepper mill. Plus my arm would probably fall off, from all the twisting motion. I had the correct amount of pepper in about 30 seconds. Continued success with the mill. Thank you.”

Seems like I enjoy using the Camano hand mill every morning instead of my Capresso Infinity, and I do believe the coffee tastes better. The glass jar is such a clever idea.. no static.. no mess.. no fuss..

If you didn’t notice this is my second mill. I liked the first one so much I bought the second one to travel with. It’s small enough I can fit it in my carry-on! No more crappy motel coffee.

I have been using the Camano Coffee Mill for two weeks now, and it works great! I have a 12 cup Coffee machine and one “Full” hopper is all I need for 12 cups. It only takes about 4 minutes to grind, all the while smelling the aroma of freshly ground coffee; a very enjoyable 4 minutes! The lock on the grind adjustment works great and keeps the grind consistent. The quality and workmanship on the Camano Coffee Mill is excellent! My wife thinks the mill is cute and wants me to leave it on the counter as a decoration! And also no more warnings to my wife that I am about to grind coffee :) So far I am extremely pleased with the Camano Coffee Mill. Thank You!

It arrived this past weekend, and I used it for the first time today. By far, it is the absolute best cup of coffee I have ever had. It’s by far my new best friend in the afternoon (lunch coffee is the best) and I can’t wait to start getting up early to make a bit before work too!

Received your fine product late last week and I must say, this is truly a work of art. I adjusted the grind and began preparing my first pot when it brought back precious memories of my grandma making coffee in this manner back in Mexico in the 60’s. I really enjoy using this mill…it’s a great way to start each day. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do.

I wanted to thank you for such a quality product. I eagerly awaited the arrival of my Camano Mill and was pleasantly surprised when it came. I do a lot of adventure touring with my motorcycle, and the Camano Mill is the perfect complement to my stainless steel french press. No more preground coffee!! I can sit under a tree in the midst of nature and brew a batch of coffee the way it should be done. Itʼs the perfect size for my pack and is so simple to use! The electric grinder hasnʼt been touched since. Thank you for a wonderful piece!

Thought I’d drop you a note acknowledging receipt of the mill, and noting my satisfaction. I was particularly favorably surprised by the ease of grinding. The ease is also an implied compliment to the blades’ sharpening, etc. I think the use of the jar as receiver for the grounds is brilliant. No other mill I’ve used, mechanical or electrical, has emptied as easily and completely. Nice work!
