Charles Parker of Meridian Connecticut became a dominant name in coffee mill manufacturing during the 19th century. Originally Charles was under contract to Lewis & Holt Company in 1828. Lewis & Holt patnership dissolved in 1833, in 1834 it was bought out by Charles Parker. (His brother Edmund and Herman White obtained one of the earliest coffee mill patents in 1832) Parker & White and Holt & White coffee mills were produced in the mid 1830's. By the 1850 Parker Union Works & J&E Parker Union (J& E standing for Charles brother's John & Edmund) were well established manufactures of coffee mills along with related brands Parker Eagle and Parker Planters' Mills. Production of some (possibly all lines) continued into the early 1900s. (source reference Antique Coffee Grinders, M.L.White & J.A.Sivonda, 2001)
Arguably, coffee is grown commercially in one little part of Europe. The Canary Islands belong to Spain, are part of the European Union, and are considered by their inhabitants to be part of Europe (although they are off the coast of Africa). A small amount of very high-quality coffee is grown there. So, if we stretch things a bit, we can say that coffee is grown commercially on all of the continents except Antarctica. Most of Europe, however, has too cold a climate for commercial coffee production to be successful, although coffee plants are found in several botanical gardens throughout the continent. It is my understanding, though, that coffee was once grown commercially in southern Italy and Sicily.
