Artazza is thrilled to introduce a series of glass bean hoppers from Café Kultur of Germany.

The glass bean hoppers are mouth-blown by artisans in a German glass factory from lead-free, food-safe and 100% recycled glass. Designed to fit the Mazzer Mini and Mini E and the Mazzer Jolly coffee grinders, the glass hoppers are superior to the standard plastic hoppers that are supplied with the grinders. The glass hoppers do not absorb the coffee oils and flavors, and are easier to keep clean.

The glass is infused with beautiful "bubbles" that create the appearance of movement in the glass. The covers are pressed and polished from stainless steel, and the adapter (with closure mechanism) is CNC machined from stainless steel and attached to the glass using silicon. All materials are food-safe.

Artazza was able to obtain a limited quantity of these beauties and we are selling them on a first-come, first-served basis. They will go fast and we will re-stock as Café Kultur produces additional pieces.

First, thanks for the questions and feedback.

I am glad they don't fit the Kony!
Why..?


The first series of glass hoppers has an adapter sized to fit the Mazzer Mini, Mini E and Jolly. We expect to launch additional series of glass hoppers with different sized adapters to fit other grinders.

$300.00 EACH !


The glass hoppers are mouthblown by master artisans in Germany. The stainless steel covers and adapters with closure likewise are handcrafted in Germany. Development and testing took 2 years to bring these to market. These hoppers are not machine-made and mass-produced in a low-income country, and therefore the cost reflects the handcrafted nature and the use of premium quality materials. When you hold one of these glass hoppers in your hand and mount it on your Mazzer grinder and put it on top of your espresso bar, it looks absolutely stunning.
