what's most ironic about my interest in this thread is that my paternal great-great grandfather, john gaspar, "constructed the first coffee mill for preparing and grading coffee. before that all coffee was shipped in the parchment to honolulu and cured and polished there. in time gaspar controlled the coffee business of the konas, purchasing the green product, preparing it for the market and shipping the finished article to honolulu." as quoted from a newspaper article circa 1937. don't know the name of the publication. i don't know anything about coffee or the business except i love to drink it![^]
