"Coffee Grinder" is a story full of sudden twists, strange characters, and incredible places. It's a tale about transience, old age, but above all, about the power of imagination and the longing for the taste of freshly ground coffee. Gałczyński, along with Bujnicki, created the Kukułka wileńska program on Polish Radio, which adds flavor to the whole story. This book is a tribute to a slow and mindful life, a celebration of simple pleasures and objects that hold sentimental value for us.

Stanisław Zamecznik, an architect, graphic artist, set designer, and educator, brought his unique style to "Coffee Grinder." His illustrations and graphic layout were appreciated in 1959 when the book received an award in the PTWK competition for the best-designed book. Interestingly, Zamecznik's children, Piotr and Marta, also participated in creating the illustrations, adding family warmth to this exceptional edition.

This edition of "Coffee Grinder" was printed using the RISO technique on Crush Corn 120 g paper in a limited edition. Thanks to this technique, the book smells of rice oil and banana leaves, making it even more special. Zamecznik's graphics perfectly match this printing method, emphasizing their character and colors. The changed format, slightly larger, makes the book even more enjoyable to read.

Rediscover "Coffee Grinder" and let yourself be carried away on a magical journey full of imagination and sentiment. It's a masterpiece that opens a series of books printed with this method, featuring illustrations by outstanding artists. Each illustration by Zamecznik is like a painting in an art gallery that you can have at your fingertips! It's the perfect gift for lovers of literature, art, and beautiful objects.
