Grinding the Morning Tone

Wandering into the kitchen to shake off the morning stillness, an antique wooden coffee grinder caught my eye on the sunlit counter. Damn, look at that cast-iron crank handle waiting up top. I climbed onto the edge, hooked both hands around the smooth wooden knob, and put my full body weight into a sharp heave. Skrrtch-crr-clack! The heavy steel burrs inside groaned, then gave way with a deep, crushing chew that shook the entire wooden box beneath me. I leaned down and tapped the base of my toy mic against the side to measure the dense, aromatic rumble vibrating out of the hopper. Pure mechanical bite. #nakinaki #naki @nakinaki
