Ascaso I-2/I-2D Espresso Grinder
Overview:
 The
line of coffee grinders from Ascaso can be described as
beautiful, colorful, and best of all, excellent coffee grinding
machines. Ascaso has developed two versions of their coffee
and espresso grinder, one with a flat grinding wheel system
and one with a conical (cone shaped) grinding wheel. The
flat wheel grinder is called the I-1 Grinder and the conical
grinding wheel version is called the I-2 Grinder.
The Ascaso I-2 Coffee Grinder features a conical (coned
shaped) primary grinder burr (grinding wheel) and it is
the only professional grade coffee grinder for home and
office use that features such a grinding system. Conical
burrs are exceptional at producing the most consistent grinds,
from very fine to very coarse, and they are particularly
tough and long lasting. The grinding chamber is encased
in commercial grade plastic composite. We recommend the
conical grinding wheels if you will be doing general purpose
grinding.
The Ascaso grinders have a Micrometric Regulation System
(MRS) or 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. If you have an
espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being
able to grind directly into the coffee holder for your machine.
Features:
- Simple Manual Operation - On the side
of the grinder there is a button that you can control the
main power. Just under the coffee dispensing chute, another
spring-loaded manual on/off button is present, and when
pressed, the grinder will start, then immediately turn off
when the button is released. Place the coffee holder (or
any storage container) against the button to start grinding
and then remove the coffee holder when the desired amount
of coffee has been dispensed.
- No Coffee Dispenser - The grinders feature
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, or even a storage
container.
- 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, which takes
about 30 seconds. You can perform a thorough cleaning to
remove built up coffee grounds around the main cutting wheel
and then reassemble the grinder - total time is about 2
minutes.
- Large Coffee Bean Hopper - With the ability
to store up to 1.3 pounds of coffee beans in the hopper,
there is no need to constantly refill the grinder. It will
hold enough beans to brew several full pots of coffee or
60 shots of espresso. It is made of clear shatter resistant
plastic and topped with a plastic lid.

We will not accept a return under our return policy if this
grinder was used to grind other types of food products (i.e.
spices, paper, etc) as some previous customers have tried
to do.

for manual. The instructional manuals for Ascaso are

features, accessories, or colors available in Ascaso equipment
in other countries, but not available in our models produced
for the United States.
