A universal, rotatable coffee tamper with a portafilter positioner lets you dial in your dose with a simple 180-degree turn, and the integrated gasket-saver system directs grounds straight into the portafilter basket so you lose less coffee and put less wear on your group head gaskets over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003ch3\u003e60mm Tempered Steel Burr Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe 60mm tempered steel grinding burrs deliver a uniform particle size that holds up through months of daily use before needing replacement. Tempered steel runs cooler than softer alloys under friction, which means less heat transfer to your coffee during grinding. That matters because heat accelerates the release of bitter compounds, and keeping the burrs cool preserves the brighter, more complex notes in your espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003ch3\u003eHeat-Isolated Hopper and Direct Intake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe 1.1 lb hopper is made from an unbreakable, non-deformable material and sits above a double collar system that creates an air gap between the beans and the motor housing. This keeps residual motor heat from warming your beans while they wait to be ground. A coffee chute lock secures the hopper during operation, and the direct intake system channels grounds into the doser without passing through exposed transfer tubes. The single-bodied, hermetically sealed doser prevents stale grounds from accumulating in dead spots. An integrated grounds collection tray catches any overflow, and the anti-scratch, vibration-free body keeps the grinder stable on your countertop during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astra Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175844806941,"sku":"HGS-T2-BK","price":924.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/41088_hgs-t2-bk_gif.png?v=1776328767","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/astra-hgs-t2-bk-semi-automatic-espresso-grinder-60mm-tempered-steel-burrs-gasket-saver-system-home-and-light-commercial","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
