The Bodum Antigua grinder is a good "starter" grinder using conical burrs. It can grind from a medium espresso grind up to a coarse drip pot grind, and a passable press pot grind. There are two models - normal, and metal.

Bottom Line: Looks nice, but too static and noisy...

Bill Phillips (quality: 2.0) 10.04.2000 Rating: 2.8

Tim Stob (quality: 1.4) 10.17.2000 Rating: 2.0
Bottom Line: Crap
Douwe Dijkstra (quality: 5.0) 11.05.2000 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Good grinder, as long as you don't expect ultra fine espresso grinds
Thomas Bafia (quality: 9.0) 06.03.2001 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Not a great grinder, but a good one. A step up from a whirly blade grinder.
John (quality: 5.0) 06.05.2001 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Excellent grinder for french press.
Chris (quality: 6.0) 06.25.2001 Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: If you are willing to modify it, it will work just fine for filter drip, vac, and press. Useless for espresso.
Robert Noles (quality: 5.0) 08.14.2001 Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Good introductory burr grinder
Roger Grantham (quality: 4.5) 09.03.2001 Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Great step up from rotary-blade grinder.
Bob Lutz (quality: 3.3) 09.07.2001 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: ok if you have a pressurized portafilter and can use a coarser grind. Spend more and get something better.
Darren (quality: 4.8) 09.24.2001 Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Large capacity for home use. Static scatters coffee everywhere.
Will Taylor 12.04.2001 Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: Hard to beat for $60, but only for coarse grinds.
Phillip Quattrocchi (quality: 6.8) 02.08.2002 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: Its a good starter or upgrade for your first burr grinder.
Steve S (quality: 7.0) 02.27.2002 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: It works and the heart of the unit is quite solid. It deserves an 8 overall.
Alan Smith (quality: 7.2) 08.15.2002 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: False economy, expect to replace it in a year.
Russell Malm (quality: 6.0) 05.31.2003 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Great, uniform, static free burr grinder for drip, french press, vac pot and chemex.
