About the Brand
Anfim has been building espresso grinders in Milan since 1932, at the source of Italian espresso culture and surrounded by the cafés and baristi who shaped its approach. Over 90 years, the brand has become one of the most recognised grinder names in South Africa, found behind counters in coffee shops across the country. Anfim designs and manufactures its own burrs in-house, and is now part of the Hemro Group family of coffee grinder brands.
