The Krups Type 308 coffee grinder from the 1970s is a compact, cylindrical appliance that exemplifies the principles of German modernism of its era. The body is composed of two distinctly separated sections: a glossy, pastel lemon-yellow base contrasts with a cool, creamy white top. The clear division of color highlights the design’s clean lines and geometric simplicity. The grinding chamber is made from brushed, matte aluminum, while the transparent plastic lid features vertical ribbing for improved grip and a subtly frosted finish. The iconic red Krups logo on the front serves as a bold visual accent. Materials include metal, plastic, and likely Bakelite for the plug. Dimensions are 16 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter. The original paper tag remains attached. The condition is very good, exhibiting only minor scratches and small chips consistent with age—these are purely visual and underscore the grinder’s authenticity.The proportions and material composition of this model reflect the spirit of the 1970s, a period when the design of household appliances acquired a new rhythm. The grinder tells the story of an era when ergonomics and clarity of form were combined with durability and everyday comfort. The interplay of yellow and white, together with the distinctive logo, evokes a time when functionality was given a modern face, and everyday objects began to attract attention not only for their practicality but also for their considered detail. The fine scratches and patina on the metal surface are like traces of mornings past, when making coffee was a cherished ritual.The Krups Type 308 grinder can be integrated into a kitchen or living
