Ascaso I-Mini Grinder - Polished Aluminum

Overview:

With its manually polished aluminum body, this model was recognized by the Ambiente Trend Forum in Frankfurt as a trendy representative of coffee grinders under the category “Clean & Pure.” This product comes in two finishes and three color variants.

This Ascaso mini grinder is the ideal accompaniment to Ascaso’s series of home model espresso machines. Although miniature in size, the grinder does not fall short in its functional attributes. It remains an excellent choice for homes as well as small-scale establishments that work with regular and decaffeinated coffee variants.

The grinder features a filter holder in the form of two small rods that guide the portafilter. It is highly advisable to avoid detaching the rods as the interior holding the nuts will dislodge and may cause difficulty in setting it back into place. The guides, however, do not hold the portafilter in place and only serve as a guide. To push in the grinder activation button, it remains imperative to hold the portafilter.

Features:

• Professional blades: Plastic grinding group and a conical (cone shaped) grinding wheel (conical steel burrs).
• Unbreakable coffee bean hopper: Made of clear shatter resistant plastic and topped with a plastic lid.
• Micrometric Regulation System (MRS): AKA stepless adjustment. Controls the quality and consistency of the grinds. Allows for unmatched, precise adjustments to the grind setting, which is critical for espresso grinding.
• Doserless: Features a coffee chute which funnels the freshly ground coffee from the grinding chamber directly into a portafilter for your espresso machine or into a coffee filter for drip coffee.
• High quality of the materials and components: Made of aluminium.
• Easy to clean: One important and often overlooked task required of owning a good coffee grinder is routine cleaning. To clean, just remove the coffee bean hopper and cover to expose the grinding chamber. All their components are designed for a great durability and low maintenance.
