Bodum invested a great deal of time in research and worked with some of the world's most knowledgeable coffee specialist to create the Antigua. Using a very sharp, hand-crafted blade, of the sort used by professional grinders, the coffee is cut rather than crushed. Now don't confuse this mechanism with the blades in a mill grinder. The Bodum Antigua actually features a quality conical burr grinding system. Conical burrs are popular for their low gearing because they protect beans from overheating. A conical burr grinder in this price range is an amazing find. The Antigua also boasts a huge 1 lb hopper for coffee beans and a tight-fitting lid to preserve freshness.
Bodum's Antigua can handle all kinds of roasts, from the very dark oily espressos to the lighter and dryer roasts of filter coffee and settings can be adjusted from a coarse French press to a fine Italian espresso. The Antigua also comes with a timer-switch that allows for grinds of any amount of coffee up to 8 cups at a time.
The Antigua provides excellent grind consistency thanks to its conical burrs, as well as great styling, a large hopper and extra touches that enrich the overall experience. The Antigua makes a great companion to the Bodum Santos Electric Vacuum Coffee Maker.
