The brand new i Mini is a superb burr coffee
grinder from Ascaso, a company that specializes in commercial and domestic
coffee equipment. Its compact size makes it ideal for home use, and it
sports a very solid construction.
Turning the knob on the side of the grinder
allows the grind setting to be adjusted to any point on a continuous scale
from the finest to the coarsest setting. This is known as stepless
adjustment. This feature allows very small adjustments to be made very
easily - making it one of the few grinders that can achieve the perfect
grind setting for making espresso.
The body of the black i-Mini is made from
aluminum which is then powder coated to give a durable black finish. The
body of the i-Mini is made from Plastic , Metal or aluminum polished to a shiny
finish. When these grinders get wet near your espresso machine, there is
no rust!
The hopper is made from clear plastic and holds
approximately 250g of coffee beans. The hopper just lifts off for washing,
and the top of the grinder is easily removed to allow access to the burrs
for cleaning. Please make sure to remove the beans from the hopper prior
to removing the hopper.
The ground coffee is dispensed directly into your
portafilter handle from the chute. Simply hold the portafilter handle
against the button on the front of the grinder to activate the grinding
mechanism. If you do not use an espresso machine, you can dispense the
coffee into a small cup or container.
NEW FEATURE: 2
rods have been added on the front to guide the portafilter.
