DeLonghi Retro Burr Grinder DCG59

Date Published: 2/11/04

The DeLonghi Retro Burr Grinder is a sleek-looking appliance, styled in black with silver trim. This unit comes with a 7-ounce (3-cup) capacity bean container with snap-on lid and a removable ground coffee receptacle with its own airtight lid. You can choose from eight different grind settings, ranging from coarse to extra fine, by twisting the bean container. Audible clicks let you know you’ve reached the next selection and an arrow on the bean container points to the selected grind. The burr grinding wheels deliver a uniform consistency, whether you are looking for a coarse (percolator-style) grind or a fine (espresso) grind. This unit can be set to grind enough beans for 2-12 cups of coffee. A dial timer determines the exact length of grinding time needed and automatically shuts off when the grinding is completed. This unit is a bit noisier than others in its class; however, the powerful motor delivers fast, efficient results. A handy rewind knob located at the bottom of the unit lets you retract the cord inside the base for easy storage. You can also store ground coffee in the grounds container by closing the airtight lid to preserve freshness. A dual safety feature stops the motor if either the coffee bean container or ground coffee container is removed.
