54mm Flat Burrs

These tempered steel burrs are housed in a solid brass burr holder, producing consistent grinds.

Stepless Grinding Adjustment

The micrometric stepless adjustment system allows near-infinite settings for your coffee, making the I-mini very well-suited for fine-tuning espresso shots.

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.

Aluminum Body

A sturdy aluminum body not only helps the grinder rust-resistant but also keeps it light. After preliminary polishing, Ascaso treats the machine with a high-quality varnish (the same coating as used in Formula 1 and on boats), with a range of 3 colors and a choice of finishes – polished gloss or textured matte. As well as these colors, they also offer a mirror-polish finish, featuring an artisan-mechanical process that gives its own character to each piece.

Unbreakable Bean Hopper

Made of clear shatter resistant plastic and topped with a fitted, plastic lid. This hopper holds 250g of coffee beans (about 1/2 lb) depending on bean size. Also features a finger guard to prevent accidents.

Small Footprint

Standing at only 13″ tall and less than 5″ wide, the I-1 Mini offers ample room on anyone’s countertop!

Easy Cleaning

One important and often overlooked task required for 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 great durability and low maintenance.
