Want crema that actually looks like it came from a café? The Ascaso i-STEEL is built to deliver it. Hand-assembled in Barcelona and milled from the same hardened steel used in high-performance commercial grinders, this compact workhorse is designed for serious home baristas. With a service life rated over 1,300 lbs of coffee, it’s built for the long haul.
The i-STEEL’s flat 54mm burrs, micrometric adjustment, and polished aluminum body bring precision and durability to your counter. Forget plastic parts—this grinder’s chamber is cast aluminum and brass for quieter, more consistent performance.
Why It Stands Out
- Built to Last – Over 1,300 lbs service life with hardened steel burrs.
- Professional Burrs – 54mm flat burrs = uniform grind for espresso, pour-over, or drip.
- Micrometric Adjustment – Infinite grind control for dialing in the perfect shot.
- Noise Reduction – Aluminum + brass chamber dampens sound vs. plastic grinders.
- Precision Spout – Chrome-plated Zamak chute directs grounds cleanly into your portafilter.
- Warranty – 12 months domestic use guarantee.

Legendary Take
Most grinders in this price range cut corners with plastic parts and short lifespans. The i-STEEL doesn’t. It’s handcrafted, heavy-duty, and tuned for espresso accuracy. If you want crema that punches above “home setup” expectations, this is the grinder to trust.
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.
