Koffiemolen, Stellingmill in Formerum, Netherlands

The Koffiemolen stands three stories high with a one-story base and features four common sails spanning 19.50 meters across the structure.

Built in 1838 in West Terschelling, the mill was moved to its current location in Formerum by P S Bos in 1876 for grain processing operations.

The ground floor transformation into a coffee house in 1964 maintained the original milling machinery while adding modern dining facilities to the structure.

The mill contains two pairs of millstones: French Burr stones measuring 1.30 meters and Cullen stones of 1.40 meters in diameter for grain processing.

The cast-iron windshaft, manufactured in 1891 by Prins van Oranje in The Hague, connects to the sails and supports the clasp arm brake wheel.
