Grinders
A complete line of commercial and home grinders.
Grinders matter as much as the machine. There are two main families: Dozer grinders that pre-grind a set amount of coffee, dispensed by a side lever (one pull for a single, two pulls for a double), and On-Demand or Electronic grinders that grind fresh directly into the portafilter, dialed in by basket size.
Both types come with flat or conical burrs. Flat burrs deliver uniform particle size for balanced, traditional espresso. Conical burrs run cooler at slower RPM and bring out lighter, more floral flavors. Bigger burrs run cooler and last longer. Titanium and red-dot coatings extend burr life. Diamond dust coatings last even longer and resist rust from wet beans.
Adjustments come in two styles: stepped (clicks between pre-set fineness levels) or stepless / Vario (refined, continuous adjustment). Worm-gear adjusters are easier to dial in than collar adjusters.
A new generation of grind-by-weight (GBW) grinders provides a consistent dose every shot, accurate within a gram. More expensive, but in demand from serious baristas.
Choosing a grinder? Three things matter most: burr size, burr shape, and motor power. Bigger burrs, sharper cuts, stronger motors — that's better espresso.
