Ascaso I-Steel Espresso Grinder – conical burr 2018 Model OPEN BOX DISPLAY

Designed and created to become the perfect match for the Ascaso Steel models. Its size does not compromise its professional performances, being a good option not only for your home but also in small professional establishments that work with different varieties of coffee (regular and decaffeinated).

WARNING: Due to portafilter design, shape, and/or sizing, the following espresso machines and equipment brands are not compatible with this grinder:

All Gaggia, All Krups, All Delonghi, All Braun, All Mr. Coffee,  All Cuisinart and Elektra (Microcasa A Leva only)

Features:

  • Professional blades: Plastic grinding group and a conical (cone shaped) grinding wheel (conical steel blades) .
  • 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.
  • Nozzle: Funnels the freshly ground coffee from the grinding chamber directly into a coffee holder for your espresso machine or into a coffee filter.
  • High quality of the materials and components: Made in 100% stainless steel with a brushed finish.
  • 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.

  1. Changing grind settings: As with all coffee grinders, it is very important to only change grind settings when the unit is powered ‘on’ and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will ‘gunk’ up and require cleaning by you every time this occurs. Changing the grind settings when the burrs are not in motion will render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. If this result occurs, this will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and not be classified as a defective grinder.
  2. Finding coffee grinds in a new grinder: We have confirmed that the manufacturer tests EVERY grinder with coffee beans before it leaves their facility, but they are not always able to get every trace of coffee out of the grinders after testing. As a result, you may find coffee beans or grinds inside your grinder, or there may be grinds in the packaging when you unwrap it.
  3. Static issues: There are static issues with all grinders, even the highest quality models. We firmly believe that the static comes from the coffee beans. If you are having static problems with your coffee grinder, trying using a different blend of beans.
  4. Replacing burrs: NEVER use a flat head screwdriver and hammer to wedge under the burrs for removal. This could badly damage your grinder.
  5. Electrical cord: Please note that the electrical cord is placed between the packaging (foam or cardboard) and the underside body of the grinder. During shipping, it is normal for a bend or insignificant blemish / slice to damage the cord.

Espresso Grinder Warning

  • CLEANING WARNING: We recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or burr carrier for cleaning as re-assembly can cause damage.
  • ELECTRICAL WARNING: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso grinder which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. The lack of the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso grinder can be damaged at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.

      I purchased this grinder 2-3 years ago from 1st Line. The grinder works great EXCEPT LOTS of ground coffee is typically left in the discharge chute after grinding. Is there any remedy for this?

      Amount of residual ground coffee depends upon factors above the chute and grinding chamber measurements. These include, but are not limited to grind fineness, humidity, and type of roast profile, and type of bean.

      One solution is measuring the amount of beans in the bean hopper and grinding all of it. Others use a brush to remove ground coffee from the chute. Some use an air can.
      2. How do you replace the top burr in this grinder? i have found instructions and replaced the bottom conical burr but the top one does not have any screws, how does it pry out of the wheel?

      It is held in by friction. There is a small flat edge on the underside. Gently use pliers to wiggle it out.
