Product Description

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not live up to my expectations, August 20, 2007

I've been using this for a couple of years, so I'd have to say it is durable. However, I'm looking to replace it (if I can afford something better), because it does not grind fine at all. Not even what I need for drip coffee (although admittedly I like it finer than many people do). Certainly not fine enough for espresso.

Good points: very large hopper for the beans.

Very durable.


Bad points: Does not grind fine enough.

Is not consistent (Often results in dust & boulders).

Very small receptacle for the ground coffee.

Some of the ground coffee gets stuck inside the chute leading
to the ground coffee receptacle and has to be cleaned out.

This is an excellent day to day grinder for coffee. I've had it for 30 days and use it every day. No problems so far and it is very easy to use. There are only a couple of negatives that I can identify. This unit uses a timer to determine how much coffee will be ground. The max is 40 seconds and it is just a little bit too short to grind enough grounds for a 12 cup drip coffee maker. So, you have to reset the timer to approximately 15 more seconds to get enough for a whole pot. The only other complaint I have is that a lot of static builds up from grinding and when the bin is removed a good bit of coffee jumps out onto the counter making a small mess. The adjustments are very good and lots of positions for different coarseness settings are available and it is easy to see the markings. It is a very attractive device as well. Very neat and contemporary styling. The coffee ground by this machine tastes excellent and never has a burnt flavor or any other off tastes. I have read that it is not adequate for espresso but I cannot verify that as I do not use it for espresso.

This review is from: Bodum Antigua Electric Burr Grinder + Grindz Coffee Grinder Cleaner (Misc.)

I have been using this grinder for more than a year now for day to day grinding to prepare drip coffee for the breakfast. The preparation has become sort of a ritual (combined with getting the Bodum glass jar with the cofee beans out of the fridge) and the device has not let me down yet. I especially like the on/off button on the back side and the big container for the beans. The device was bought in the U.S. and I am using it with a power converter (110V to 220V), still works fine.
