why are they called corona mills?

is there some affiliation w/ the beer?

you know, that's a great question, and I look forward to the answer.

It's a brand name, is it not?

(Not to be confused with the Mexican beer company)

The Corona/Victoria Grinders are made by Corona, in Columbia, South America.

Yup, here you go:

Corona is Spanish for "crown". So, it's not an uncommon brand name.

That information is completely useless, I know. But I thought I'd throw that out there.

El Niño...Spanish for...The Niño...

Wow, I am an idiot. We have one of those in our house, in the garage and I didn't know what it was.

My mother in law brought it over one day, and I was like 'yeah, OK Sue, we'll use that all the time'...I think she wanted us to use it to crush/smash our own baby food. Weird.

All true, but the reason Corona is a well used brand name is because the crown belonged to the king, he always had the best also. It just indicates (in the sellers mind) that this item is the best.

Incidently, Acme, as in the coyote's Acme, means the top or best also.
