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 very sharp hand forged blade, such as you find in professional grinders at your coffee supplier, the coffee is cut rather than crushed. And by providing the Antigua with special Bodum developed gearing so as not to overheat the beans, we 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-switch allowing you to grind any amount of coffee up to 8 cups at a time.
