Antigua Coffee Grinder

Wednesday Jul 13, 2011

Named after the famous Guatemala Antigua gourmet coffee, Bodum has gone ahead to create the Antigua Coffee Grinder, considered by many to be a great entry-level grinder. With a fairly good capacity it measures 8 X 10.5 inches. This grinder has been designed to scale up to professional standards notwithstanding its diminutive size.

It’s a smart looking coffee grinder fitting in beautifully with kitchen interiors and dining area counter tops. Available in two models – normal and metal, it is great for everyday use. With its matte chrome finish the Antigua Coffee grinder remains big enough to hold all of one pound of coffee beans!

As a good starter grinder deploying conical burrs, it grinds a medium espresso up to a coarse drip pot grind and also works well for press pot grind. You could buy the Bodum Antigua Coffee Grinder without hesitation as it is a sturdy unit that works well. Also the grinder prevents coffee from losing its characteristic taste and aroma, both crucial aspects for coffee grounds.

Much research and expert consultations with coffee aficionados got the Antigua to be fitted with specialized burr grinders that work with professional competence. Under this process coffee beans are cut rather than being crushed, so as not to overheat the beans. This feature helps create the kind of coffee that is loved by true connoisseurs of the beverage.

The grinder processes all kinds of roasts from dark oily espressos to lighter dryer roasts of filter coffee. Adjustments can be made for coarse French press setting or fine Italian espresso setting. The timer-switch allows you to grind any amount of coffee up to 8 cups at a time to offer the enigmatic taste and aroma of a great cup of coffee.

The Antigua coffee grinder is intended for domestic use. Its conical burrs provide several grind settings that may be selected by giving the bean hopper a twist. It will grind beans coarsely for French press coffee and prepare a fine grind for espresso. Grind settings being incremental, can be set to any degree of fineness between these two extremes.

This quality burr grinder comes at a bargain price too while providing uniform, static free burr grinding for drip, French press and vacuum-pot coffee. Coffee lovers will recommend this coffee grinder for its excellent grind consistency. Additionally the chic styling, large hopper size and features like the cleaning brush hanging on one side make it an exceptional grinder.

The Antigua is available in models of plastic or stainless steel designs, and the metallic model features a hole in the lid of the grounds catcher, from where you may pour into your coffee or espresso brewer. At 10 inches of height and a low price, the Antigua is a real compact bargain. With the new found coffee culture cutting across the globe this grinder is vibrant for daily use.
