If you want café-level crema at home, the Ascaso i-STEEL delivers. Hand-built in Barcelona and engineered with the same hardened steel burrs found in professional grinders, this compact machine is built for performance and longevity. Rated for over 1,300 lbs of coffee, it’s a grinder that won’t tap out when your morning routine demands consistency.
The i-STEEL’s cast aluminum and brass grinding chamber keeps noise down and results up, while the micrometric adjustment system gives you fine-tuned control shot after shot. Finished in polished aluminum, it looks as sharp as it performs.
Why It Stands Out
- Durable by Design – Over 1,300 lbs service life. Built from hardened steel, aluminum, and brass—not plastic.
- Pro Burrs – 54mm flat burrs deliver uniform grind quality for espresso, pour-over, or drip.
- Total Control – Micrometric adjustment = infinite grind settings.
- Quiet Power – Aluminum + brass chamber dampens sound while keeping consistency tight.
- Clean Pour – Chrome-plated Zamak spout drops grounds straight into the portafilter.
- Backed Warranty – 12 months domestic use guarantee.

Legendary Take
Most grinders in the “home” category are built to look the part. The i-STEEL is built to perform. It’s tough, accurate, and tuned for espresso excellence—making it the grinder we trust when crema isn’t optional.
About The Brand
We think of Ascaso as that high-quality brand that makes retro-inspired espresso machines in fun colors to compliment your kitchen and glorious professional machines for bars and cafés. Based out of Barcelona Spain, Ascaso was born from a man who spent the first 10 years of his career manufacturing spare parts for espresso machines so it was only natural that he borrowed this deep knowledge of the working components to make espresso machines. All Ascaso equipment is handcrafted with special attention to detail using high-quality materials. The final product is thoroughly tested for quality assurance passing a 25 point inspection: that's passion for making good espresso. Your morning routine just got more reliable and a bit more cooler.
