Slow Coffee Grinder

Keiji Takeuchi for Alessi 2023

18/10 Stainless Steel/PP/Ceramic Grinder

[H 8.47 x Ø 2.36 x L 6.3"]

The design of this coffee grinder reflects the particular nature of Keiji Takeuchi's minimalist approach, his ability to redesign traditional domestic objects by capturing their deep formal essence. Passionate about filtered coffee - he starts each day by dedicating himself to the small ritual involved in its preparation - Takeuchi knows the value of a beverage prepared from freshly ground beans. The aroma, fragrance and flavour of ground coffee quickly lose their intensity, changing after just a few hours. By using a fresh grind, it is possible to prepare a beverage that is rich in aroma and flavour.

Keiji Takeuchi was born in Fukuoka, Japan, but spent most of his youth in New Zealand, where he studied product design. He worked for Naoto Fukasawa in Tokyo and later moved to Milan to set up Naoto’s European office. He established his studio in Milan in late 2015.
