A good grinder is essential for making good coffee. Nuova Simonelli produces professional grinder-dosers with flat or tapered grinders (preferable because they grind the coffee more slowly over a larger grinding surface area, thus avoiding even minimal "burning" of the coffee). Grinding settings are "creep" adjusted by turning a worm screw which moves one of the two grinders up or down to set larger or finer grinding quality.

The various models are available with casings in aluminum in red, black, beige, grey, gold, silver. Another important distinction should be made as regards automatic grinder-dosers (which operate automatically when the ground coffee is about to run out) and manual systems (switch-operated). Lastly, given the importance of the surface area of the grinder blades in terms of superior grinding quality, distinction can be made between 65mm and 75mm grinders.

Grinta

With Grinta, coffee is only ground when you want to prepare a cup of coffee. This is the simple yet ingenious action of the Grinta grinder-doser unit. Take the filter-holder, move it under the coffee outlet and push slightly: Grinta will start to grind the coffee dose selected by you. The advantage? All the aroma and flavour of freshly-ground coffee. For this reason, Grinta is ideal for the family, in the office and also in the cafe, for a decaffeinated cup of coffee.
