Model 169 DG Closed Hopper Walnut Zassenhaus

The Model 169 DG Closed Hopper Walnut Zassenhaus mill is perhaps a deluxe version of the closed hopper mills. It features a cast iron top end that is very sturdy, on a walnut finish base. The burrs are the same as the other box mills but it has the same cast handle as the 154 MA, my favorite because it is more rigid.

The narrow neck between the cast top and the bottom allows you to get a good grip on the mill with your one hand as you crank with the other. Both the bean hopper and the drawer are larger on this mill than the box mills - as the scale of the whole mill is a bit larger (dimensions are 9″ h x 5.25 ” w x 5.25″ d). It costs a bit more than the other box mills, but in our opinion is well worth it! Here is a view of the cast metal top.

This type was the first kind espresso machine that ever received any real popularity in the American mainstream. Here’s how it works: water that has been poured into a reservoir is heated to boiling. This same pressurized water is used both to steam milk and brew the espresso. This method gets the water pressure up to about 1 bar (although, the preferred pressure at which espresso is brewed is about 8 bar). Read the rest of this entry »
