Coffee in Cleveland: Knowing the Drill

Before leaving my good hosts Jon and Karissa Piper in Cleveland this morning, I was treated to some freshly-ground and excellent coffee. Jon's put up an old-fashioned wall-mounted ceramic coffee grinder, but he's discovered that it's tedious to crank it by hand.

So he affixed a bolt to it and keeps his cordless drill nearby, and he lets the tool do all the work for him. Jon's a funny guy.

While I recognize that the Roediger House might seem like a large abode to some, you've not seen anything until you roam around the Pipers' Cleveland Heights household. I've got a great old downtown house; they've got themselves a veritable mansion. It's an impressive place.
