Intoducing the Grindripper

Dan Salter - Thursday, October 20, 2011

The Blackwine Grindripper is a uniquely designed coffee hand grinder and drip brewer. The grinder and brewer lock together to form a self-contained brewing system ready for the office worker or traveller alike.

Blackwine Grindripper is Portable
Grindripper can easily be carried around because of its compact size. Our Grindrippers come with a handy carry pouch so that you can have coffee where ever, when ever! So whether you're in a hotel or camping in the middle of the bush in a tent, you can have coffee anywhere you want.

Style of Brew
The Grindripper grinds directly into an individual cup drip filter. The simplicity of this drip filter accentuates good quality coffees. Fresh coffee is always better ground directly before use to maintain the integrity of the beans.

Comfortable to Use
The Grindripper is extremely comfortable to use thanks to it's tapered neck. Simply grab hold of it, attach the crank arm and grind away. The design of the grinder makes light work of manually grinding coffee - it's almost effortless!

Environmentally Friendly Product
The Grindripper is the first coffee brewer to utilise the Tritan technology. Tritan makes Grindripper 100% safe from strong heat during the brewing process (BPA free), environmental hormones and any harmful substances that could cause illness.

The Grindripper is an environmentally friendly product - unnecessary processes have been removed or streamlined so that only a minimal amount of Carbon Dioxide is produced in the production of the Grindripper at Blackwine. Less Carbon Dioxide in the world means a healthier world for everyone.

At $79.90 this is a great gift for the great out doors person.

I was contacted a few weeks ago by a young Lady called Ann, asking if she could take some photos of Coffeeguy.

I was tickled that someone expressed interest in the details that I enjoy paying attention to in the hope that it adds another layer to a warm & inviting experience here at the Coffeeguy Lounge.

I closed the shop one afternoon an Ann spent an hour or so just tacking shots.

A couple of days later, i was sent a copy of the picks taken by Ann and was impressed.

The next time Ann was in, I was then presented with the most professional looking cd case, printed with sepia images the images in a collage of Coffeeguy.

Anni has provided a brief bio below and I would encourage you to go to her website to view some of the beautiful images she has produced.


Anni is in her early 20s, and has been a Brisbane resident for the last 5 years. Always known as the one with a camera in her hand, she has a strong passion for photography and documenting events and details. Her background is in print and design, which has propelled her on her mission to improve her photographic skills and creative eye. Currently enrolled in a Diploma of Photoimaging, Anni is excited about what the future will bring!
