Know before you buy
The doserless design allows you to grind coffee directly into your portafilter, which minimizes waste and ensures you are using the freshest grounds possible for every shot.
This grinder is specifically optimized for espresso. While it can technically grind for other methods, the stepped adjustment system is designed to provide the fine-tuned precision required for dialing in espresso shots.
The stepped adjustment provides fixed, repeatable settings, which makes it easy to switch back to a previous grind size if you change coffee beans. It is a reliable choice for users who prefer a straightforward, consistent approach to dialing in their espresso.
Yes, the portafilter holder is height-adjustable, allowing you to position it to fit various portafilter depths and styles securely while you grind.
The unit measures 15.1 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 9.9 inches deep. Its compact footprint makes it a great fit for home coffee stations without sacrificing the power of its 150-watt motor.
To maintain consistent grind quality, you should periodically clean the burr chamber to remove old coffee oils and debris. The 50mm flat stainless steel burrs are durable, but they will eventually require replacement depending on your daily volume of use.
