Overview
The Ascaso i-Mini is a compact Spanish-made grinder with 54mm flat burrs and a remarkably small footprint. Designed to pair with Ascaso espresso machines, it delivers solid espresso grinding in one of the most compact grinder bodies available. The stepless adjustment provides fine control, and the electronic timer ensures consistent doses. Ascaso Spanish manufacturing quality is evident in the solid construction and reliable motor. The i-Mini is ideal for small kitchens and tight counter spaces where a full-sized grinder simply will not fit.
The Ascaso i-Mini features a 54mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1600 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 1.5g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $350, the Ascaso i-Mini is aimed at serious home baristas who understand the importance of grind quality. Key workflow features include stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The Ascaso i-Mini is weighing 4.5 kg, manufactured in Spain, powered by a 175W motor. Its footprint measures 130 x 185 x 330 mm (W×D×H).
