Having freshly ground coffee at hand
makes all the difference when brewing the perfect cup of coffee!
Bodum`s New & Improved ANTIGUA electric coffee grinder was updated
in several aspects in 2007, including a wider range of grinding from
coarse to fine and a convenient instant grind feature. The conical burr
grinder with its vast advantages was kept the same. The burr grinder
allows you to match the coarseness of the grind to your preferred
brewing method. Simply twist the bean container on top to produce a
fine ground for espresso and a coarse one suitable for French press
coffee. There are eight preset grind settings marked on the Antigua,
plus you can choose any intermediate position. The ANTIGUA can be used
to grind all kinds of roasts, from the oily espressos to lighter and
dryer roasts. Moreover, the ANTIGUA is unlikely to clog up with remains
of ground coffee provided that you empty the ground coffee container
after each 40-second grinding cycle. The timer quantity/control allows
for an amount of up to 2.8oz/80gr of coarse ground coffee and up to
1.4oz/40gr of fine ground coffee. The effects of static electricity
inherent in all home grinders and we have done our best to reduce the
amount of coffee mess in the update. Our new instant-touch button
allows you to preset the grinding time for your preferred amount of
coffee. You will need to experiment a few times, but once you know how
much time the machine needs to run for the amount of coffee you desire,
just leave the time in place and each time you wan to grind all that
you need to do is touch th red button and the coffee will grind the
exact amount you desire. The Bodum design department has scaled this
professional grinder down to the smallest possible size without
sacrificing the strength of the motor and grinding mechanism. 1-year

Preventing coffee from
losing its characteristic taste and aroma is the essential element in
grinding coffee. Bodum has spent a lot of time on research and
cooperated with some of the world's most knowledgeable coffee
specialists to create the Antigua. Using a burr grinder, such as you
find in professional grinders, the coffee is cut rather than crushed.
And by providing the Antigua with special Bodum developed gearing so as
not to overheat the beans, they have made the true professional grinder
coffee connoisseurs have been looking for. Measuring 8 by 10.5 in, 20
by 27 cm, the Bodum design department has scaled this professional
grinder down to the smallest possible size to fit in your kitchen.
Although big enough for 1 pound of coffee beans! The grinder can be
adjusted from a coarse French press setting to a fine Italian espresso
setting. Bodum's Antigua takes all kinds of roasts, from the very dark
oily espressos to the lighter and dryer roasts of filter coffee. The
Antigua is also provided with a timer/quantity control allowing you to
grind any amount of coffee up to 1.4 oz of fine ground coffee. A proper
grinding is necessary to deliver the inexplicable taste and aroma of a
sublime cup of coffee
