Conical Burr »
Like Ascaso's commercial models, the I-Mini is fitted with hardened steel conical burr grinding discs. Conical burr grinders have the advantage over other types of grinders as they produces a much more consistent size of coffee grounds. Consistent grinds are key to an even extraction of flavours. Read our guide to grinders for more information.
« Doser-less
The I-Mini is a doser-less grinder. This means you can grind coffee directly into your: portafilter, cafetiere, or coffee container; so you save time on cleaning.
The I-Mini is also fitted with two metal pins to guide a portafilter into place below the chute. Unfortuanately these pins aren't easily removed and can get in the way when grinding into other containers.
Micrometric Regulation System - Stepless Adjustment »
The I-Mini has an infinite number of grind settings and so can be finely adjusted to find the 'sweet spot' for your chosen brewing method.
As there are an infinite number of settings there are no markings to indicate what the grinder is set to. This can be a problem if you're planning to use the grinder with a number of different brewing methods as it will be difficult to find your way back from one setting to another.
