Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer Essential Package - Black Diamond
Swedish-made stand mixer with rotating 7 L stainless steel bowl, signature dough roller, and metallic-gloss Black Diamond finish
The Ankarsrum Assistent Original Essential Package in Black Diamond gives you the core tools that define this mixer, especially for bread dough and everyday baking. Its rotating 7-liter stainless steel bowl keeps the work open and visible, while the signature dough roller gently presses and stretches dough against the bowl in a motion designed to mimic kneading by hand.

Built Around the Bowl
The Assistent Original works differently from a conventional planetary stand mixer. The 7-liter stainless steel bowl rotates while the roller and dough knife work from above, leaving the bowl open so you can add ingredients and watch the mixture develop without repeatedly stopping the machine.
The dough roller is the heart of the Ankarsrum system. It kneads bread dough with steady pressure against the side of the bowl, while the included dough hook gives you an alternative approach for heavier or denser doughs.
Serious Capacity for Bread and Everyday Baking
The 7-liter bowl handles both small recipes and substantial baking projects, with capacity for up to 5 kg, or approximately 11 pounds, of dough and recipes containing up to 1.5 liters of liquid. The 600-watt motor automatically responds to the load, giving the mixer consistent performance as dough becomes heavier.
The roller also works beyond bread. Use it for batters, cookie dough, cream, egg whites, and other everyday mixing tasks before adding any optional accessories.
Signature Features
Rotating 7 L stainless steel bowl: Keeps the mixture visible and provides generous capacity for both everyday recipes and large dough batches.
Signature dough roller: Mimics the gentle pressure of hand kneading and works with bread dough, batters, cookie dough, cream, and egg whites.
Dedicated dough hook: Provides an alternative kneading method for heavier bread doughs when a traditional hook is preferred.
Dough knife: Guides ingredients and dough back toward the center of the bowl while it rotates.
600W motor with load response: Adjusts performance as resistance changes during mixing and kneading.
Up to 11 lb of dough: Gives serious bread bakers room for multiple loaves, pizza dough, rolls, and other large batches.
Expandable system: Add Ankarsrum accessories for pasta, blending, grinding, ice cream, slicing, juicing, and more as your cooking expands.
Made in Sweden: Ankarsrum has manufactured the Assistent Original in Sweden since 1940, with each machine individually tested before leaving the factory.
Black Diamond finish: The metallic-gloss surface gives this version a deeper reflective look than Ankarsrum's standard matte black.
From Our Founder
"The Essential Package is the right starting point when bread and dough are the main reason you want an Ankarsrum. Black Diamond adds a more reflective finish, but underneath it you still get the same open-bowl design, roller, hook, and large stainless bowl that make the machine so different to use."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
