Industrial designer Keiji Takeuchi starts his day with filtered coffee and his design for Alessi's Slow Coffee Coffee Grinder reflects his passion for the perfect cup. Because beans lose their robust flavour, aroma, and intensity shortly after grinding, it's best to grind in small quantities, just as you are about to prepare your drink. Minimalist in design but perfect for the task, Takeuchi's grinder is an essential part of your morning ritual.
