The cast iron coffee mill came wrapped so carefully, I even enjoyed the british tabloids it came wrapped in; added to the allure of purchasing the Spong direct from England! A great price for a clean, seemingly unused Spong mill, complete with saucer. Thank you SO much. I just made coffee and it tastes fantastic. Delivery was prompt too. I expected a longer wait time for international, but it came as fast as something I order online from the west coast.
