Description
Ascaso i-Mini Doserless white Grinder (i-1) - Don't underestimate the Ascaso i-mini because of its size. This grinder is not only has Ascaso's characteristic beauty but also serves as an exceptional espresso grinder. This version of the I mini is an i-1 which means brass grinding group with a flat grinding wheel system (plane steel blades). It is a doserless grinder so you can grind directly into the portafilter.
This grinder allows for very fine grind adjustments. Ground coffee is dispensed directly into your portafilter or coffee container by holding your portafilter or container against the button on the front of the grinder, which activates the grinding mechanism.
This is the smallest in the Ascaso range, designed and created to be the perfect match for the Ascaso home machines. Its size does not compromise its professional features, being a good option not only for home but for professional establishments. This model, in its polished aluminium finish was selected by the Ambiente Trend Forum in Frankfurt as a trendy representative of coffee grinders in its section “Clean & Pure”.
Unlike steel-bodied grinders, when the Ascaso i-Mini gets wet near your espresso machine, there is no rust! The all metal dispensing chute is a nice touch too, as it is one less piece of plastic to worry about. Additionally, while the I-Mini is definitely smaller than other units, Ascaso does not skimp on capacity with a bean hopper that still holds over half a pound!
Ascaso equipped the I-Mini grinder with the same serious heavy-duty conical burrs found on its big brother, the i-2. The I-Mini's burrs are harder and more defined, with a tooth pattern that is incredibly precise and intricate. The resulting grind quality from Ascaso I-Mini is absolutely amazing and consistent. In addition, the Ascaso's burr set is simple to clean, making this often overlooked yet important task a breeze rather than a chore. To clean, just remove the coffee bean hopper and cover to expose the grinding chamber, which takes about 30 seconds. You can perform a thorough cleaning to remove built up coffee grounds around the lower burr and then reassemble the grinder - total time is about 2 minutes.
It is made of clear shatter resistant plastic and topped with a plastic lid.
Micrometric regulation, also known as stepless adjustment to control the quality and consistency of the grinds. This system allows for unmatched, precise adjustments to the grind setting, which is critical for espresso grinding.
The Ascaso grinder features a coffee chute which funnels the freshly ground coffee from the grinding chamber directly into a coffee holder for your espresso machine or into a coffee filter.
The I-mini coffee grinder is made in aluminium.
