I'm not familiar with the German 'coffee mill' so cannot compare features, design or function.
On these jacks the square upper section is the oil reservoir and also contains the pump. A square shaft sticks out one side of this section and the handle which is about three feet long slips onto this for pump operation. Below this shaft is the valve for lowering the jack.

Correction:- the jack I have is 15 ton not 22.5 as the one in the photograph.

The 15ton isn’t listed in the recovery manual. It jumps from 10 to 22 1/2 tons, with different designs. They probably had other uses though, like the railways.

Interesting, it used engine oil (10HD) rather than hydraulic oil.
