Coffee Mill
A coffee mill, grinding hard matter down by steady force, often touches a danger that asks for alertness and grit to meet. The dream may ask where you sense something working against your interest, and whether your energy and obduracy are equal to wearing down what threatens to wear you down first.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for coffee mill, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a coffee mill in your dreams, denotes you are approaching a critical danger, and all your energy and alertness will have to stand up with obduracy to avert its disastrous consequences. To hear it grinding, signifies you will hardly overthrow some evil pitted against your interest.
