I’m only familiar with them by the fact that I owned a restored 700. Bought it three years ago and sold it in June this year.
There are others on this forum who know a LOT more about Parker coffee grinders than I do. Hopefully they’ll pipe in. .

I was talking to a friend last week around 7 or 8 am one morning and he was using a Parker grinder to grind his morning coffee and as you might expect he’s on here as well .

Original scoop, very uncommon. My first Parker grinder was a 700. Fifty years later, I still have it. I also have an XXL 900, but it is covered in surface rust. I refuse to restore it.

Many I googled about on line seemed to have a wooden drawer. I like the scoop better. Value anyone? |

I have used a #200 to grind our daily coffee for several years now-
gives a nice course grind that works well with a French Press old original paint - replacement bin - works great

Okay, I don’t seem to be getting anywhere with value, or what YOU would pay for my No 700 Oarker coffee grinder (or is mill a better term?)
I suppose valuation is based on percentage of original condition and is the original scoop present (check off these boxes for mine; and How desirable are the wares of Parker when it comes to the competition, such as Enterprise? Are larger models more desirable or are smaller ones, and where precisely does the No 700 fall in this mix? And are some models manufactured by Parker rare and thus desirable due to rarity? And is the No 700 rare or uncommon? And it may be that the rarity of a particular Parker coffee grinder or mill has no bearing on the desirability of a particular grinder or mill. The No 700 is hefty and at least 2 feet high. Instead of playing this back and forth game, I’ll reveal what I paid for it, which may or may not have been a nosebleed price. I like auctions because I try to pay wholesale for retail. I went to this public auction with three items in mind. The third item had already exceeded my comfort level on line before I arrived at the auction. Despite most items handsomely exceeding high end estimates, I acquired the first lot at well under the low end estimate and this was well below what I was willing to bid, which left the second lot, this coffee grinder. I’m a wholesale kind of guy, but I probably bid full retail on the floor, bidding against an on line bidder. It went at my highest bid of $1200, this being higher than I was originally willing to go until I did well already on my first lot (which was unusual. Add in buyer’s premium and sales tax, and this cost me $1590. It’s certainly attractive, but perhaps nosebleed. A few days later, however, I have zero buyer’s remorse. |
