Braun Audio. Dieter Rams Designer

Braun - famous for coffee bean choppers.

I wouldn't want it now, but it must have been a really cool system in the context of that time. Thanks.

Though it requires payment, there is an outstanding documentary on Dieter Rams available on Vimeo (also on Amazon). Here's a clip:

I bought a Braun coffee chopper at Design Research, 57th street, NYC 1967 when in college. It still works.

After a lotta years, I wrote them asking for a new blade, got a letter back, one sentence.

"Your unit is obsolete". Not another word.

My brother bought me a blade that didn’t fit, but I learned from that blade: I sharpen the original blade myself, you make the leading edge flat, not tapered,

Fukkkker still works.
