Alessi Slow Coffee - Coffee Grinder - KT01

The design of this coffee grinder reflects the particular nature of Keiji Takeuchi's minimalist approach, his ability to redesign traditional domestic objects by capturing their deep formal essence. Passionate about filtered coffee - he starts each day by dedicating himself to the small ritual involved in its preparation - Takeuchi knows the value of a beverage prepared from freshly ground beans. The aroma, fragrance and flavour of ground coffee quickly lose their intensity, changing after just a few hours. By using a fresh powder, it is possible to prepare a beverage that is rich in aroma and flavour.

Year production started 2023
