The Ascaso I-2 Coffee Grinder features a conical
(coned shaped) primary grinding wheel and it is the only professional grade
coffee grinder for home and office use that features such a grinding
system. Conical grinding wheels are exceptional at producing 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.
The Ascaso grinders are the only grinders currently available
that have a Micrometric Regulation System (MRS) 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. You
can grind coffee for drip, French press, Turkish, and espresso. If you have an
espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being able to grind directly
into the coffee holder for your machine.
Detailed Product 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.
