Know before you buy
This model combines commercial-grade 64mm flat burrs and a powerful 450-watt motor with a unique aesthetic. Its vented housing is specifically designed to keep the motor cool during back-to-back grinding, ensuring your coffee quality remains consistent.
Yes, the stepless adjustment allows for infinite control, meaning you aren't restricted to pre-set notches. This gives you the precision needed to make tiny, incremental changes to your grind size to perfectly match the requirements of any specific bean or roast.
The S-Manuale 64 is engineered specifically for espresso. While it can technically grind coarser, its design and adjustment mechanism are optimized for the fine, consistent particles required for high-quality espresso shots.
The grinder measures 5.9 inches wide by 9.64 inches deep and stands 16.33 inches tall. You should ensure you have enough vertical clearance under your kitchen cabinets to comfortably access the hopper.

To preserve the Heritage Line's aesthetic, wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the specialized finish and copper accents.
