Product DescriptionPreventing 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 specialist to create the Antigua. Using a burr grinder, 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. By the way: We at Bodum believe that next to the quality of the coffee beans, the roast, the water and the coffee maker, a proper grinding is necessary to deliver the inexplicable taste and aroma of a sublime cup of coffee.
Bean Hopper: 250g
What Others Say
i would buy this grinder again
i owned this grinder for 10 years and it always worked perfectly. i believe i tried to grind too much coffee one day, too fast and inadvertantly burned out the motor. the only trouble with my first bodum was that the little cup holding the already ground coffee fit pretty loosely, so i had to hold it closed while the coffee was grinding, or else i would have ground coffee all over the counter. i read the reviews of all the coffee grinders available, and they all seemed somehow even more problematic as far as the hopper size, the shape of the cup holding the ground coffee, etc. i finally decided to spend the extra money and just get another bodum,and was pleasantly surprised to see that improvements had occured in 10 years. the cup holding ...

Great product. Sturdy and reliable.
I purchased this grinder just about 2 years ago and use it almost every day. It's a reliable product and works very well. Good even grind. The adjustments for the various grinds are perfect. There is absolutely nothing I dislike about it.
Love it. I have purchased a second Bodum coffee grinder as a Christmas gift.
Works fine; Coffee tastes great!
This machine works exactly as advertised. And I like the design, method of operation and ease of cleaning. Mainly the coffee made in my coffee press really tastes much better using this burr grinder to grind the beans.
Works great
Getting the grind right may take you a few beans but the grind has been consistent. The hopper is large and the output is much cleaner than my last. I don't spill grounds ever time I pull the cup out.
Good step up from the cheap blade grinders
I purchased this grinder along with a coffee press (the Bodum Chambord 8-Cup Coffee Press) as part of an "upgrade" of my coffee experience.
Overall, I'm not disappointed. The burr grinder does provide a more even grind size, and it does make a positive difference, even for a regular old drip coffee maker. The bean hopper is also pretty handy.
It's a bit tricky to clean, so invest in a pack of pipe cleaners or something to clean around the "intake" and the portions of the grinder that aren't removable.
Noise-wise, it's no louder than my old blade grinder; maybe even a bit quieter. It takes up more counter space, of course. But since moving to a coffee press, the grinder occupies the spot of my old drip maker, ... Read More
