Look at this bonkers modernist coffee grinder, by Chinese brand Timemore:
That's the Sculptor 078 electric coffee grinder, designed in-house (of Timemore's three co-founders, one is an industrial designer and another is a mechanical designer).
Created to produce the coarse grinds desirable in pour-over, drip or French press coffeemaking methods, the three rows of milling burrs have been designed to minimize fines. The dial allows you to set the RPMs to your liking, and the little magnetic cross on the base is a slick touch to add that bit of magic.
The machine is relatively new and at press time I couldn't find a U.S. distributor, but the UK's Sigma Coffee is selling them for $609.

There's something incoherent about the form, and less so, the material choices, that make it look cheap. It's too bad because that jumbo dial in the cylinder is a strong basis to work from.
