Coffee Grinders

The La Pavoni Kube Mill is a compact on-demand coffee grinder built for front-of-house service environments where consistency, speed and low noise all matter. It uses hardened steel flat burrs driven by a 310W motor to produce a uniform grind particle size across a range of settings, with a straightforward adjustment knob that allows baristas to dial in quickly without interrupting service flow.

In practice, the Kube Mill suits moderate-volume service well. The grinding output allows a barista to move through orders at a steady pace during busy periods without the grinder becoming a bottleneck. The flat burr geometry is generally well regarded for espresso-focused applications, producing consistent extraction across a range. Where very high throughput is required — such as high-footfall city-centre sites running multiple group heads at full tilt — a grinder with a larger burr set and higher hopper capacity may be worth considering instead.

A notable feature for certain venues is the anti-vibration system, which meaningfully reduces operational noise compared to conventional grinders. This makes the Kube Mill a practical choice for open coffee bars, hotel lobbies, meeting suites or any environment where grinding noise would otherwise jar with the surroundings. The Tritan-tinted hopper helps protect beans from light exposure, and its relatively modest capacity suits venues that rotate single-origin coffees or carry a decaf option alongside the main blend without large quantities sitting in the hopper for extended periods.

• Quieter operation for open-plan and guest-facing service areas
• Fast, intuitive grind adjustment to support efficient dialling-in
• Centred filter holder supports a tidy counter workflow
• Tinted hopper helps maintain bean freshness during service
• Durable aluminium body suited to daily commercial use

Installation is straightforward — the Kube Mill is a counter-mounted grinder requiring a standard UK mains socket, with no specialist electrical work needed. The generous cable length gives reasonable flexibility for counter placement. The footprint is compact, which suits venues with limited counter space. There are no water or drainage connections involved.

This grinder is well suited to independent cafés, hotel bar areas, restaurant coffee stations and workplace catering operations running at a measured pace. It is a sensible choice where noise reduction is a genuine operational priority alongside consistent grinding performance. For sites with significantly higher demand, it is worth discussing whether a larger-capacity model would be a better long-term fit.

If you are unsure whether the Kube Mill matches your service volume or counter setup, the team are happy to talk through the options with you before you decide.

The La Pavoni Kube Mill is a compact flat burr grinder designed for front-of-house espresso service. It uses hardened steel flat burrs driven by a 310W motor to produce a consistent, uniform grind particle size — the foundation of repeatable espresso extraction. The grind adjustment is operated via a single setting knob, which keeps the dial-in process straightforward for bar staff working at pace.

In a busy service environment, grind consistency and dose repeatability matter as much as the espresso machine itself. The Kube Mill's output rate allows baristas to move through orders without the grinder becoming a bottleneck during peak periods. The burr geometry is designed to minimise clumping and static, which helps keep the workflow tidy and reduces waste between doses.

A standout practical feature is the integrated anti-vibration system, which significantly reduces operational noise compared to conventional grinders of this class. This makes the Kube Mill a sensible choice for settings where grinding noise would otherwise intrude — open-plan hotel lobbies, meeting suites, boutique cafés, or anywhere the front-of-house environment benefits from a calmer acoustic profile. The compact painted aluminium body is durable without being bulky, and the tinted 150g hopper helps protect bean freshness, which is particularly useful for operators rotating between single-origin or decaf offerings.

• Low noise output suits open coffee bars and hospitality front-of-house areas
• Single-knob grind adjustment keeps dial-in fast during changeovers
• Tinted hopper supports bean freshness for small-batch or rotating offerings
• Centred portafilter holder supports a clean, organised dosing workflow
• Painted aluminium body offers durability in a compact counter footprint

The Kube Mill is best suited to lower- to mid-volume espresso service — a single busy outlet, a hotel breakfast bar, or a secondary station in a larger café. It is not designed for continuous high-throughput grinding across multiple group heads under sustained pressure; for those environments, a higher-capacity grinder with a larger hopper and heavier-duty burr set would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether the Kube Mill is the right fit for your service volume or bar setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Santos Kawa #76 is a compact, motor-driven coffee grinder built for professional use in café and hospitality environments. It handles a broad range of grind settings, making it suitable for espresso-style preparation through to coarser grinds, and is compatible with Turkish-style brew — a useful range for venues serving varied coffee styles.

In terms of throughput, the Kawa is positioned for moderate-volume operations rather than high-output sites. It dispenses ground coffee at a brisk rate, making it practical for consistent service without creating a bottleneck at the coffee station. For a small to medium café, a breakfast operation, or a bistro-style venue where coffee is complementary rather than the primary revenue stream, this machine sits at the right level. Sites running heavy espresso-bar volumes through peak service periods may find a higher-capacity grinder more appropriate for sustained demand.

From a practical standpoint, the grinder's design gives reasonably straightforward access to the grinding area, which simplifies routine cleaning — an important consideration given that coffee residue and oils build up quickly in commercial use. Key operational points to bear in mind:

• Handles a wide range of grind types including Turkish
• Quick-access grinding chamber for routine cleaning
• Compact footprint suits tight counter layouts
• Consistent grind output supports repeatable coffee quality
• 600W motor well matched to moderate-volume service

Installation is straightforward — the unit is counter-mounted and requires a standard electrical supply, with no specialist fitting needed. Ensure the counter position allows easy access for regular cleaning and bean hopper refilling during service.

If you're unsure whether the Kawa is the right match for your service volume or coffee menu, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The La Pavoni PGZIP2BN00UK is an automatic burr grinder designed for commercial coffee service. It uses a set of flat 65mm burrs to grind directly into the portafilter, with programmable single and double shot dosing that allows consistent output without manual adjustment between each pull. The touch screen interface keeps operation straightforward for bar staff working at pace.

In a busy café or hospitality setting, consistency of grind is one of the most direct influences on espresso quality. The programmable dosing on this unit removes a common source of variation during peak service, and the 1.2kg hopper capacity means staff are not constantly topping up mid-rush. The 2.8 to 3.8 grams per second output keeps the grinder moving at a pace suited to a steady ticket flow without becoming a bottleneck.

Practically speaking, this grinder works well alongside a commercial espresso machine where a reliable, repeatable dose is the priority. Key operational benefits include:

• Programmable single and double shot dosing for consistent extraction
• Large hopper capacity reduces mid-service interruptions
• Touch screen control accessible for all bar staff
• Flat burr grinding for even particle distribution
• Dose counter for stock monitoring and portioning oversight

The unit runs on a standard 13A supply, which makes placement straightforward on most bar setups without additional electrical work. It is worth considering counter space carefully — burr grinders of this type need to sit stably close to the espresso machine group head, and the hopper height should be checked against any overhead shelving or cabinets.

This grinder is a practical choice for independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, or restaurant bar stations running a moderate volume of espresso-based drinks. For higher-volume sites with multiple group heads running simultaneously, a heavier-duty grinder with a larger burr set may serve better. If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The La Pavoni PGZIP2BC00UK is an automatic espresso grinder designed for commercial coffee service. It grinds directly into the portafilter using programmable single or double dose settings, with flat 65mm burrs delivering a consistent grind at a throughput of 2.8 to 3.8 grams per second. The 1.2kg hopper provides enough bean capacity to maintain continuous service without frequent refilling, and a dose counter helps operators monitor output over a shift.

In a busy café or restaurant environment, grind consistency is central to espresso quality and shot-to-shot repeatability. The flat burr geometry on this grinder produces a relatively uniform particle distribution, which supports stable extraction. The programmable dosing removes the guesswork from portafilter loading, reducing waste and helping maintain consistency across different operators during a busy service. At this throughput rate, it is well suited to moderate-volume coffee operations rather than the highest-output sites where a larger or dual-hopper grinder would be more appropriate.

• Programmable dosing reduces reliance on operator judgement during service
• Dose counter helps track output and supports consistency checks
• Large hopper reduces the frequency of mid-service bean refills
• Touchscreen interface is straightforward to operate and adjust
• Chrome finish is practical to wipe down between services

Installation is straightforward — the grinder runs on a standard 13A socket and requires only a clear, stable counter position with enough space around the hopper for filling. There are no water or gas connections required. At 240W it draws minimal power, though it should be positioned away from steam-heavy equipment where possible to protect the electronics and maintain burr condition.

This grinder is best suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant bars, and similar settings with a consistent but not extreme espresso throughput. It will handle a steady queue comfortably; however, operations pulling very high volumes continuously may find a heavier-duty grinder with a larger motor and burr set more appropriate for the long term. For lighter or occasional use, a lower-capacity model may offer better value.

If you are weighing up whether this grinder is the right match for your service volume or coffee setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Mazzer Mini Timer is a compact on-demand espresso grinder designed for consistent, repeatable dose delivery in café and coffee bar environments. It uses a stepless micrometric grinding adjustment — a patented system that allows very fine, continuous control over grind size without fixed click stops. This gives baristas the ability to dial in precisely for changing conditions throughout the day, whether adjusting for a fresh bag of beans or compensating for shifts in ambient temperature and humidity.

In practice, the Mini Timer suits lower-to-mid volume coffee operations where espresso quality is the priority and counter space is limited. The timed dosing mechanism allows the grinder to dispense a consistent amount of ground coffee per shot, which helps reduce waste and supports more predictable workflow during a busy service period. It is not designed for very high-volume espresso bars running multiple group heads flat out, but for the right environment it performs reliably and consistently.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Stepless micrometric adjustment for precise grind size control without fixed increments
• Timed dosing reduces grind waste and supports portion consistency
• Compact footprint suits tight countertops in smaller coffee operations
• Hopper magnet helps secure the bean hopper during service
• Metal and plastic construction balances durability with manageable weight

At 10kg the unit is stable on a counter without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. The 0.6kg hopper capacity is appropriate for most café volumes, though very busy sites should consider whether a larger-hopper model would reduce the frequency of refills during service.

The Mini Timer is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, small restaurant coffee stations, and office or hospitality settings where a consistent espresso grind is needed without the throughput demands of a high-volume espresso bar.

If you are unsure whether this grinder is the right match for your service volume or machine setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

200W. Capacity: 60g This compact single speed grinder has a tough stainless steel grinding blade for effective grinding of coffee beans and herbs and spices.

The Santos 59TWA is a professional on-demand coffee grinder designed to work alongside a traditional espresso machine in a commercial setting. Rather than grinding in advance and storing grounds in a hopper, it grinds directly to dose on each activation, dispensing accurately into the portafilter ready for tamping and pulling the shot. This white-finish aluminium model ships with a tamper compatible with most standard portafilters.

In a busy service environment — morning coffee queues, a full lunch cover, or a hotel breakfast operation — the speed and consistency of the grinder matters as much as the machine behind it. The 59TWA is built for this kind of sustained throughput. It operates quietly relative to its output capacity, which is a practical advantage in front-of-house or open-kitchen settings where noise is a consideration. Dose precision is maintained consistently across a service period, which reduces waste and keeps extraction quality reliable without requiring constant barista adjustment.

Key operational advantages include:

• Grinds and doses in under a second, keeping throughput high at peak times
• On-demand operation means grounds are always fresh, supporting consistent extraction
• Quiet motor reduces ambient noise in customer-facing environments
• White aluminium finish suits front-of-house installations where appearance matters
• Supplied tamper is compatible with most standard portafilters, reducing additional kit costs

The unit is compact enough for most café counters and barista stations. At 15kg it is stable in use without being difficult to position or move for cleaning. It runs on a standard single-phase supply. There are no complex installation requirements — it is a plug-in unit — though it should be positioned on a firm, level surface with adequate clearance around the hopper for refilling. The aluminium housing is straightforward to keep clean, which matters in any environment subject to health inspection.

The 59TWA is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant coffee stations, and bars where espresso-based drinks form a regular part of the offer. It performs reliably at moderate to high volumes. For very high-volume sites running continuous espresso service throughout a long trading day, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty grinder would better match the demand before committing.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right match for your service volume or setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Santos 59TA is a commercial on-demand coffee grinder designed to work directly alongside a traditional barista espresso machine. Rather than grinding in bulk and storing ground coffee, it doses directly into the portafilter each time — preserving the freshness and consistency of each shot. The black aluminium housing is a neat, compact unit suited to counter-based coffee stations without taking over valuable workspace.

In a busy service environment, speed and precision matter as much as grind quality. The 59TA is capable of delivering a single espresso dose in under a second, which keeps workflow moving during peak periods — breakfast rushes, lunchtime queues, or continuous café service — without requiring the operator to slow down or second-guess their dosing. The whisper-quiet motor is a practical advantage in environments where noise levels already need managing, such as hotel lobbies, restaurant front-of-house, or quieter café settings.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Consistent, precise dosing directly into the portafilter — no scooping, no waste
• High throughput capacity supports continuous service without interruption
• Low operating noise suited to customer-facing environments
• Supplied with a tamper, removing the need for a separate purchase
• Compatible with most standard portafilters, integrating with existing espresso kit

The 59TA sits on the counter and requires only a standard mains supply — there are no water connections or drainage requirements. At 15kg it is stable in use but can be repositioned if your counter layout changes. The aluminium build keeps weight manageable without feeling insubstantial. It is worth confirming portafilter compatibility with your existing machine before ordering, as basket diameter and depth can vary across espresso machine brands.

This grinder is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurants with a dedicated coffee service, and bars offering espresso-based drinks as part of their menu. It is a solid mid-range choice for sites running a single group head or dual group espresso machine at steady volume. Sites with exceptionally high coffee throughput — for example, a high-footfall destination café running three or more group heads at full capacity — may find a heavier-duty grinder more appropriate for their pace of service.

If you're unsure whether this model fits the volume and workflow of your operation, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Buffalo spice and coffee grinder is a compact, motor-driven grinder designed for professional kitchen use. It handles both whole coffee beans and dried spices, producing ground results quickly through a high-speed stainless steel blade assembly. Two operating modes — continuous run and pulse — give the operator control over grind consistency depending on what's being processed.

In a working kitchen environment, this kind of grinder earns its place in prep rather than service. It's well suited to grinding small-to-medium batches of spices for house blends, rubs, or spice pastes, and handles coffee grinding for kitchens where freshly ground coffee is part of the offer but volume doesn't justify a dedicated burr grinder. The pulse function is particularly useful when a coarser texture is needed, as it prevents over-processing.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Quick clean-down between batches — the bowl detaches for rinsing
• Stainless steel blades hold up well under regular daily use
• Compact footprint suits prep counters with limited space
• Two grind modes reduce the risk of over-grinding delicate spices
• Straightforward operation with no complex settings to manage

At 4.4kg, this is a lightweight unit that can be stored away between uses rather than occupying permanent counter space. It runs from a standard 13A socket and requires no installation beyond positioning on a stable work surface. It's worth noting that this is a blade grinder rather than a burr grinder, so grind uniformity will vary — something to bear in mind if consistent particle size is critical to the application.

This grinder suits smaller operations, development kitchens, or any site that needs occasional grinding capability without committing to a larger, fixed piece of equipment. For high-volume grinding — such as daily coffee service at scale — a heavier-duty dedicated grinder would be a more appropriate fit.

If you're unsure whether this grinder matches what your kitchen needs, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Santos 01 is a direct-drive coffee grinder with a heritage dating back to 1954. Built around a horizontal-axis grinding mechanism, it dispenses ground coffee directly into the portafilter or container, making it a practical workhorse for front-of-house and back-bar coffee service. The aluminium and ABS construction keeps the unit robust without unnecessary bulk, and the grinder is available in black as standard.

In a working kitchen or café environment, the Santos 01 handles the daily grind demands of a mid-volume espresso operation reliably. The stepless adjustment dial allows the operator to dial in grind fineness continuously — from Turkish and espresso through to filter and French press — without being locked into preset notches. This makes it genuinely flexible across different brewing methods, which is useful where a kitchen or bar is serving multiple coffee styles through a single machine.

Practical advantages for day-to-day service include:

• Stepless grind adjustment covering Turkish through to coarse French press settings
• Horizontal-axis design with direct dispensing keeps workflow clean and fast
• Straightforward controls that require minimal staff training
• Aluminium and ABS construction — durable without being unnecessarily heavy
• Compact footprint suited to counter space where real estate is limited

Installation is straightforward — the Santos 01 is a countertop unit requiring only a standard mains socket. No plumbing or ventilation requirements apply. At 14kg it is stable on the counter without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. The hopper holds up to 1kg of beans, which suits continuous service without constant refilling, though very high-volume espresso bars processing significant throughput may want to consider a larger-capacity grinder.

The Santos 01 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant coffee service, and hospitality bars running moderate espresso volumes. It is a particularly sensible choice where a reliable, adjustable grinder is needed without the complexity or cost of a high-end competition-grade unit. For sites with heavier throughput demands, a higher-capacity model with a larger hopper and more powerful motor may serve better.

If you are unsure whether the Santos 01 matches your service volume or coffee programme, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Santos 55WA is a commercial espresso grinder designed for consistent, on-demand grinding in front-of-house environments. It operates at 63dB(A) — noticeably quieter than most grinders in its class — making it a practical choice for open-plan cafés, hotel lobbies, and restaurant service areas where background noise matters. The white aluminium and ABS housing is built to sit comfortably on a counter without looking out of place in customer-facing settings.

In service, the grinder delivers a fast, repeatable grind with variable grind settings that can be dialled in precisely to suit your espresso machine and coffee blend. The automatic dispensing function triggers when the portafilter is positioned beneath the chute, which keeps workflow tidy and reduces dose inconsistency during a busy service. The 2.2kg bean hopper means less frequent refilling, which matters when a single barista is managing volume alone.

From an operational standpoint, the 55WA works well alongside single, double, or triple-group espresso machines without becoming a throughput bottleneck. Key practical advantages include:

• Low operating noise suitable for open or customer-facing spaces
• Variable grind settings for consistent dose control across roast profiles
• Automatic portafilter-triggered dispensing to support workflow
• Large hopper capacity reduces service interruptions for refilling
• Compact footprint for counter use in tighter bar setups

Installation is straightforward — the grinder requires a standard 13A socket and no fixed plumbing or ventilation. At 15kg it is stable on the counter without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. It is worth noting that for very high-volume espresso bars running two or more groups continuously through a long service, a higher-capacity grinder with a larger motor may be worth considering.

The 55WA is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant bars, and any front-of-house setting where a quiet, reliable grinder needs to keep pace with a single espresso machine. Sites with exceptional throughput demands may benefit from a heavier-duty alternative.

If you are unsure whether this grinder is the right match for your machine or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Santos 43NA is a commercial coffee grinder designed for retail and foodservice environments where ground-to-order or ground-to-bag coffee is part of the daily operation. It uses horizontal axis grinding discs with a feeding screw mechanism to deliver consistent, controllable grind results across a wide range from extra fine through to extra coarse — making it practical for operators who work with multiple coffee varieties or grind for retail sale by weight.

In a busy coffee shop or roastery environment, the grinder handles sustained throughput comfortably. The induction motor runs quietly relative to its class, which matters in customer-facing retail settings, and the stainless steel construction stands up to the demands of daily use without the wear concerns associated with lighter-duty domestic or semi-commercial alternatives. The integrated bag holder accommodates bags from 50g up to 1kg, which suits standard retail pack sizes and avoids the need for separate dispensing equipment.

For operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Wide grind adjustment range suits espresso, filter, cafetière and coarse brew methods
• Direct dispensing into the bag reduces handling and mess at the counter
• Precision-machined Santos grinding discs support consistent particle size batch to batch
• Quiet motor operation is well suited to retail and café environments
• Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and longevity in daily use

Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard single-phase mains supply and sits on a countertop or dedicated stand. At 20kg it is stable in use without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. The hopper holds 1.7kg of whole beans, which is adequate for most retail service patterns, though higher-volume roastery or supermarket operations may find they prefer a larger-capacity model from Santos' wider range.

The 43NA is well suited to independent coffee shops, artisan roasters selling pre-ground retail bags, bakeries offering ground coffee alongside other products, and delicatessens or farm shops with a coffee retail offer. It is less suited to high-volume espresso bar use where a dedicated espresso grinder would be the more appropriate tool.

If you are unsure whether the 43NA fits your operation or want to discuss grind settings for a particular application, the team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit.

The Santos Model 04 is a traditional shop-style coffee grinder designed for high-throughput grinding in retail and commercial environments. Built around horizontal axis grinding discs with a feeding screw mechanism, it takes whole beans from the hopper and delivers freshly ground coffee directly into a bag or container below. The bag holder accommodates standard retail bag sizes and keeps dispensing clean and straightforward. Grind adjustment runs from extra fine through to extra coarse, making it flexible across different coffee styles and blends.

In practice, the Model 04 is well suited to environments where grinding happens in batches throughout the day rather than continuously to order. Coffee roasters, specialist retail shops, farm shops, supermarkets, and bakeries commonly use this type of grinder to prepare pre-packed ground coffee for sale. The commercial induction motor is built for sustained use and handles the kind of daily throughput these settings demand without the wear issues associated with lighter domestic or semi-commercial machines.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Variable grind range accommodates espresso, filter, cafetière, and coarse brew styles
• Horizontal disc grinding with feeding screw produces consistent particle size across the batch
• Integrated bag holder keeps the dispensing process tidy and reduces spillage
• Stainless steel and aluminium construction is robust and easy to wipe down between batches
• Simple controls mean staff can operate the machine with minimal training

Installation is straightforward. The unit requires a standard single-phase mains supply and needs no specialist plumbing or ventilation. At 18kg it is stable on a counter or dedicated shelf without being difficult to reposition. Allow adequate clearance above the hopper for filling and beneath the bag holder for the container or bag in use. The 1kg hopper capacity suits regular batch grinding rather than continuous high-volume production — operators expecting very large daily throughput should consider whether a higher-capacity model would be a better fit for their operation.

The Model 04 is most appropriate for retail coffee environments, roasteries offering pre-packed ground coffee, and foodservice operators who grind in quantity rather than to single-cup order. It is not designed as a barista grinder for espresso-to-order service, where a dedicated on-demand grinder would be the more suitable choice.

If you are unsure whether the Model 04 fits your volume or use case, our team is happy to talk through the options — it is worth a conversation before you commit.

The Santos 63 is a heavy-duty electric coffee grinder built specifically for high-volume grinding operations — principally retailers, wholesalers, and distribution points where large quantities of coffee are ground for sale in bags. Unlike a café grinder designed for single-dose espresso, this machine is engineered to work continuously through extended production runs, delivering consistent grind quality across a full working session.

Powered by a 1.5kW motor and capable of average outputs around 80kg per hour, the Santos 63 handles volume that would quickly overwhelm a lighter-duty machine. The variable grind setting allows operators to adjust coarseness for different coffee styles and customer requirements — from fine filter to coarse cafetière — without a tool change or lengthy recalibration. In practice, this means a retail coffee counter or specialist grocer can serve a range of grind preferences without interrupting throughput significantly.

For operators grinding commercially, the key practical advantages are:

• High continuous output well suited to batch grinding across a full working day
• Variable grind adjustment accommodating a broad range of coffee products
• Robust motor construction designed to sustain heavy daily use without overheating
• Straightforward operation reducing staff training time at the grinder
• Compact footprint relative to output capacity, keeping counter space manageable

At 40kg it is not a machine to move frequently, so counter position should be chosen with workflow in mind. Ensure the surface is level and stable; the unit generates meaningful vibration during heavy grinding cycles. Adequate clearance above the unit is needed for bag and hopper access.

This grinder is best suited to coffee retailers, farm shops, delicatessens, wholesale packing operations, and any site distributing ground coffee in quantity. It is not designed as a single-dose espresso grinder. Sites with very high throughput requirements should consider whether a higher-capacity model would better match their production demands.

If you are unsure whether the Santos 63 is the right fit for your volume or setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Santos Silent 40 is a commercial espresso grinder designed for consistent, on-demand grinding in café, restaurant, and hospitality environments. As the name suggests, the machine operates at a notably reduced noise level compared with conventional burr grinders — a practical advantage in open-plan or customer-facing settings where background noise matters. It features a large bean hopper, a variable grind adjustment, and an integrated dispenser that doses ground coffee directly into the portafilter.

In service, the grinder performs reliably under the steady throughput demands of a busy espresso bar. The variable grind setting allows baristas to dial in the correct extraction for changing conditions throughout the day — a necessary capability in any site where espresso quality is taken seriously. The reduced operating noise does not come at the cost of grind consistency, which remains even and repeatable across a service period.

From an operational standpoint, the Santos 40 offers several practical advantages:

• Quiet operation reduces noise intrusion in customer-facing or open-kitchen environments
• Variable grind adjustment supports consistent espresso extraction throughout service
• Large hopper reduces the frequency of bean refills during busy periods
• Integrated dispenser allows direct dosing into the portafilter for a cleaner workflow
• Straightforward grind adjustment makes it accessible for staff with varying barista experience

Installation requirements are minimal — the unit is a freestanding countertop machine requiring only a standard mains supply and sufficient worktop space to accommodate its footprint. At 14kg it is stable in use but manageable to position. There are no water or gas connections required.

The Santos 40 is well suited to cafés, hotel bars, restaurant pass areas, and similar hospitality settings with a steady espresso demand. It is a single-grinder solution rather than a high-volume multi-hopper setup, so sites running very high-output espresso programmes simultaneously across multiple group heads may want to consider whether a higher-capacity unit better matches their throughput requirements.

If you are unsure whether the Santos 40 is the right fit for your service volume or setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Santos 59A is an on-demand coffee grinder designed to work alongside a traditional espresso machine in commercial settings. Rather than grinding in advance and storing ground coffee, it grinds and dispenses a precise dose directly into the portafilter each time a shot is pulled. This keeps the coffee fresh and ensures consistency across every serve.

In busy service environments, speed and accuracy matter. The 59A is built to deliver a single espresso dose in well under a second, which makes a meaningful difference during peak periods — breakfast rushes, busy lunch services, or high-footfall hospitality settings where a queue at the coffee station affects the whole flow of service. The motor runs quietly relative to its output, which is a practical advantage in open or customer-facing environments.

From an operational standpoint, the key benefits of this grinder come down to a few things that matter day to day:

• Consistent, repeatable dosing reduces waste and keeps shot quality stable across shifts
• On-demand grinding preserves coffee freshness compared to pre-ground storage
• Direct portafilter dispensing speeds up workflow and reduces mess at the station
• Low noise output suits customer-facing counters and open-plan café layouts
• Aluminium construction keeps the unit light enough to reposition without difficulty

The 59A is a counter-mounted unit requiring a standard 13A power supply. At 15kg it is manageable to move and reposition, though it will need a stable, level surface with adequate clearance above for the hopper and around the dosing chute. No water or gas connections are required. It is worth confirming your counter depth is sufficient given the unit's height profile before ordering.

This grinder is well suited to cafes, hotel breakfast operations, bars, and restaurants running a consistent espresso programme. It performs reliably at mid-to-high service volumes. For very high-throughput sites — a large hotel lobby, a high-volume festival or events operation — it is worth speaking with us about whether a heavier-duty option would better match your expected demand.

If you're unsure whether the 59A fits your service style or volume, we're happy to talk it through — getting the grinder right makes a significant difference to the quality and consistency of your espresso programme.

The Santos 59WA is a professional on-demand coffee grinder designed to work alongside a traditional espresso machine in a commercial setting. Rather than grinding into a hopper and dosing from a container, it grinds directly into the portafilter on each request — producing a fresh, precisely measured dose every time without pre-ground coffee sitting and losing its character between orders.

In busy service environments, speed and consistency are what matter most. The 59WA is notably quiet for a grinder running at this output level, and its ability to deliver a precise single-espresso dose in under a second means it keeps pace comfortably during a breakfast rush or a busy lunchtime service without creating a bottleneck at the machine. Aluminium construction keeps the unit robust without unnecessary weight on the counter.

From an operational standpoint, the on-demand approach brings a number of practical advantages:

• Consistent dose weight reduces waste and keeps shot quality stable across a full service
• Grinding fresh to order preserves flavour — particularly relevant where coffee quality is a selling point
• Quiet operation suits front-of-house settings where noise is a consideration
• White finish suits counter environments where equipment appearance matters to customers
• Straightforward counter placement with no specialist installation requirements

Installation is uncomplicated. The grinder runs on a standard single-phase supply and sits on the counter alongside the espresso machine. There are no water connections or ventilation requirements. The footprint is compact enough for most café and bar counters, though it is worth ensuring adequate working space around the machine for portafilter access during service.

The 59WA is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, bars, and restaurant pass areas where espresso volume is moderate to high and where consistent quality is important. For very high-volume sites — large hotel operations or venues running multiple group heads simultaneously — it is worth discussing whether a higher-throughput grinder would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this grinder is the right fit for your service volume or existing machine setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Mazzer Super Jolly Timer is a well-established on-demand coffee grinder designed for consistent, repeatable dosing in commercial espresso service. It uses a timer-based dosing mechanism to dispense ground coffee directly into a portafilter, allowing baristas to set and replicate dose weight across a busy service period without relying on manual judgement each time.

In a working café or restaurant bar environment, consistency and speed are what matter. The Super Jolly's flat burr grinding mechanism delivers a uniform grind across each dose, and the stepless micrometrical grind adjustment allows precise calibration as beans and ambient conditions change throughout the day. At 1,400rpm, the grinder operates at a speed that balances throughput with heat generation — an important consideration for flavour preservation during extended service.

From an operational standpoint, the Super Jolly Timer offers a number of practical advantages for front-of-house espresso stations:

• Timer dosing supports consistent extraction across multiple baristas
• Stepless grind adjustment allows fine-tuning without fixed stepped positions
• Large hopper capacity reduces the frequency of refilling during peak service
• Compact footprint suits counter space on most commercial bar set-ups
• Robust metal construction supports the demands of daily commercial use

Installation is straightforward — the Super Jolly Timer is a counter-mounted, plug-in grinder that does not require plumbing or fixed electrical connection beyond a standard socket. At 14kg it is stable on the counter without being unwieldy. It is worth ensuring your espresso station has sufficient counter depth and clearance above for the hopper.

This grinder is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant bars running a moderate volume of espresso-based drinks. For very high-throughput sites — busy city-centre coffee shops pulling significant volumes through multiple machines — a higher-capacity grinder with a more powerful motor may be worth considering to avoid overworking the burrs during extended peak periods.

If you are unsure whether the Super Jolly Timer matches your expected service volume or espresso setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Nuova Simonelli Atom is a flat-burr on-demand coffee grinder designed for commercial espresso service. It uses a 450W motor paired with 65mm flat burrs to grind directly into the portafilter, producing a consistent particle distribution that supports repeatable espresso extraction. The grinder offers programmable single and double dosing, allowing baristas to dial in portion weights and hold them across a shift without manual adjustment.

In a busy café or hospitality environment, consistency is everything. The Atom's flat burr geometry produces a relatively uniform grind profile, which helps maintain extraction quality during peak service when multiple shots are pulled in quick succession. The 500g bean hopper reduces how often the hopper needs topping up during a busy period, though sites running very high volumes will need to factor in more frequent refills than a larger-capacity grinder would require.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Programmable dosing reduces grind variation and helps control waste
• On-demand grinding preserves freshness compared to pre-ground or doser-based alternatives
• Clear digital display simplifies adjustments for staff with varying experience levels
• Compact footprint suits counter space-constrained setups
• Aluminium construction keeps the unit lightweight and straightforward to reposition

Installation is straightforward — the Atom requires only a standard 13A plug socket and a stable counter position with adequate clearance above the hopper for refilling. At 8kg it is light enough to move without difficulty. There are no water or gas connections involved. The compact dimensions make it well suited to smaller counters, though this also means the hopper capacity is more modest than floor-standing or higher-volume grinder options.

The Atom is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and hospitality venues producing moderate espresso volumes. It is a practical entry point into on-demand grinding for sites that don't require the output of a larger commercial grinder. For higher-volume sites — busy city-centre cafés or multi-group espresso bars — a grinder with a larger burr set and hopper may be a better fit.

If you're unsure whether the Atom matches your expected daily output or your current espresso setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Nuova Simonelli MDJ is an on-demand espresso grinder designed for busy coffee-focused operations. Rather than pre-grinding and storing coffee, the MDJ grinds directly into the portafilter at the point of use, which preserves the aromatic qualities of the bean and supports a more consistent extraction across each shot pulled during service.

In a working café or coffee bar environment, consistency under pressure is what matters most. The MDJ is built to handle a sustained throughput of up to 3kg of beans per day, making it well suited to sites where the espresso machine rarely gets a rest during peak periods. The grind mechanism operates quietly, which is a practical consideration in venues where the customer experience depends on a calm, ambient atmosphere. Even as service builds, the grind quality and dose accuracy remain stable — reducing the margin for barista error and keeping shot-to-shot quality predictable.

From an operational standpoint, the MDJ offers several day-to-day advantages:

• On-demand grinding preserves freshness and supports consistent extraction
• Touchscreen interface makes dose adjustment straightforward for staff at any level
• Integrated portafilter hook supports a clean, efficient workflow at the grinder station
• Quiet motor keeps disruption to a minimum in customer-facing environments
• Aluminium construction keeps the unit lightweight relative to its output capacity

Installation is straightforward — the MDJ requires a standard single-phase mains connection and sits comfortably on a counter alongside a commercial espresso machine. At 17kg, it's manageable to position without specialist handling. The footprint is relatively compact, though counter depth and workflow around the machine should be considered before placing, particularly in tighter bar setups.

The MDJ is a practical choice for independent coffee shops, café bars, and hotel breakfast operations with a moderate-to-high espresso output. It is well suited to sites running one or two group espresso machines through a full service. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands — multiple group machines running simultaneously across extended service periods — a higher-capacity grinder may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether the MDJ matches your expected volume or bar configuration, the team is happy to talk through your setup before you commit.

The Nuova Simonelli MDXS is an on-demand espresso grinder designed for commercial coffee service. Rather than grinding into a hopper or dosing chamber in advance, it grinds directly into the portafilter at the point of use, which helps preserve aroma and deliver a more consistent dose across the service period. It is operated via a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, and grind coarseness is adjusted through a micrometric system that allows precise, incremental changes without disrupting workflow.

In a busy café or hospitality setting, grind consistency is one of the most controllable variables in espresso quality. The MDXS is built around that principle — the micrometric adjustment allows baristas to respond quickly to changes in extraction caused by shifts in humidity, bean age, or roast profile. With an aluminium body construction and a quoted daily output of 1.5kg, it is best suited to sites with moderate but consistent coffee throughput rather than high-volume operations running multiple group heads at full pace across long service windows.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• On-demand grinding preserves bean freshness and reduces waste between service periods
• Touchscreen controls are straightforward to operate and adjust without technical training
• Micrometric grind adjustment allows quick response to extraction variables during service
• Quiet motor operation suits front-of-house or open-kitchen environments
• Aluminium construction keeps the unit lightweight and relatively easy to position on a counter

Installation requirements are minimal — the MDXS is a countertop unit requiring only a standard mains power connection. At 13.5kg it is easy to position and reposition as needed. No water or drainage connections are required. The compact footprint means it fits comfortably alongside an espresso machine on a standard barista station, though counter depth and cable management should be confirmed before ordering.

The MDXS is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant coffee stations, and similar sites where quality and consistency matter but throughput is moderate rather than high intensity. Sites running a very high volume of covers across extended service periods, or those operating multiple espresso machines simultaneously, may find a higher-capacity grinder better matched to their demands.

If you would like to talk through whether this grinder fits your setup — including bean type, daily cover count, or how it pairs with your existing machine — the team is happy to help you work through it before you commit.

The Nuova Simonelli GX85 is a professional on-demand coffee grinder built for commercial café and coffee bar environments where consistency and output volume are non-negotiable. It grinds directly into the portafilter on demand, meaning each dose is ground fresh rather than sitting in a chamber and going stale — a meaningful difference when you are serving back-to-back espresso through a busy service.

In a working environment, the grinder holds its calibration reliably under sustained use. The 85mm burrs deliver a consistent grind across a full service period without the grind profile drifting as the burrs warm up, which is a common issue with smaller-diameter burrs operating at high throughput. For a coffee shop running multiple covers through a morning rush, that stability translates directly into consistent extraction and a repeatable result in the cup.

From an operational standpoint, the GX85 offers several practical advantages for busy sites:

• On-demand grinding reduces waste and keeps coffee fresher throughout service
• Large 2kg hopper capacity reduces the frequency of refills during peak periods
• Consistent dose delivery supports faster workflow at the espresso machine
• Aluminium construction keeps the unit robust without excessive bench weight
• White finish suits front-of-house or open-kitchen installations where appearance matters

The unit sits on the countertop and requires only a standard power supply, so installation is straightforward. At 21kg it is stable under use without being difficult to position or reposition on a bar. The footprint is relatively compact for a grinder in this class, though it is worth confirming bench clearance against your espresso machine before ordering, particularly on smaller bar setups.

The GX85 is well suited to independent coffee shops, café chains, and hotel breakfast operations running a consistent espresso programme. It is a solid choice for medium-to-high volume sites. For very high-volume operations — multiple group heads running continuously across a full day — a higher-capacity grinder may be worth considering to reduce wear over time.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or bar configuration, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Nuova Simonelli MDJ is an on-demand espresso grinder built for busy coffee shop environments where grind consistency and throughput matter throughout the day. Rather than batch-grinding into a hopper, it grinds directly to the portafilter on demand, which helps preserve aroma and means every dose is freshly ground at the point of use. The aluminium construction keeps the unit relatively compact for its output capacity, and the black finish suits most front-of-house or barista station settings.

In a high-volume coffee operation, grinder performance is often the limiting factor in service speed and cup quality. The MDJ is designed to handle sustained demand across a full service day without significant heat build-up affecting grind consistency — a common issue with lower-grade grinders pushed beyond their intended capacity. The touchscreen interface keeps operation straightforward for staff, reducing the risk of incorrect dosing during a busy rush, and the integrated portafilter hook frees both hands during the grinding process.

From a practical standpoint, the MDJ offers a number of day-to-day operational advantages:

• On-demand grinding preserves bean freshness and aroma compared to pre-ground hopper systems
• Touchscreen dosing reduces inconsistency across different members of staff
• Portafilter hook allows hands-free operation during extraction prep
• Quiet motor minimises noise disruption in open or customer-facing environments
• Aluminium body is durable without adding unnecessary bench weight

Installation is straightforward — the MDJ requires a standard mains socket and sits on a countertop or barista station. At 17kg it is stable in use but manageable to reposition if your layout changes. There are no water or gas connections required. The main practical consideration is bench space; at 215mm wide it fits most espresso station configurations, though you will want to account for clearance around the hopper and grind chute for cleaning access.

The MDJ is well suited to independent coffee shops, hotel breakfast operations, and café-style restaurant settings where espresso-based drinks form a significant part of the drinks offer. It is sized for a high daily output, but operations running multiple group heads at full capacity across very long trading days may want to consider a heavier-duty model to match demand. Equally, a lower-output grinder may be sufficient for sites with more modest coffee volumes.

If you are unsure whether the MDJ is the right fit for your service volume or setup, our team is happy to talk through your requirements.

The Nuova Simonelli MDXS is an on-demand espresso grinder designed for commercial use in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality settings where consistent grind quality is a priority. Rather than pre-grinding into a doser, it grinds directly to order, which helps preserve grind freshness and reduces waste during quieter periods.

In practical service conditions, the MDXS handles steady throughput well across a typical café shift. Its output capacity makes it a realistic choice for sites serving a moderate volume of espresso-based drinks rather than very high-footfall venues running multiple group heads at full stretch. The grinding mechanism is designed to run quietly relative to many commercial grinders, which can be an advantage in customer-facing environments.

Key operational benefits include:

• Micrometric grind adjustment for fine-tuning dose consistency between beans or seasonal changes
• Touchscreen interface that keeps workflow straightforward for front-of-house staff
• On-demand operation that supports freshness and reduces stale grind build-up
• Aluminium construction that keeps the unit lightweight relative to its output class
• Quiet running that suits open-plan or counter-top service environments

The MDXS is a compact unit and will fit most standard counter positions without difficulty. At 13.5kg it is easy to reposition if needed. No specialist electrical installation is required beyond a standard supply, though you should confirm compatibility with your existing espresso machine setup before ordering. It is worth noting that at the higher end of its daily output range, grinder temperature management becomes relevant — higher-volume sites should consider whether a more heavy-duty model would better suit their throughput demands.

The MDXS is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast services, smaller restaurant operations, and professional coffee bars where grind quality matters but volumes sit in the light-to-moderate range. If your site pulls consistently high shot volumes across a long service window, it is worth having a conversation about capacity before committing.

If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volume or bean type, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Nuova Simonelli GX85 is a professional on-demand coffee grinder designed for consistent, high-throughput grinding in commercial café and coffee shop environments. Built around an 85mm flat burr set and a 650W motor, it grinds directly to order rather than pre-dosing into a container, which is the approach most specialty and quality-focused operators now expect as standard.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters as much as speed. The GX85 is designed to deliver the same grind profile shot after shot, which is essential when multiple baristas are working the machine across a shift. The aluminium construction keeps the unit relatively manageable in weight for a grinder of this class, and the two-kilogram hopper capacity reduces the frequency of refills during peak periods without holding so much bean stock that freshness becomes a concern.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• On-demand grinding reduces staling and waste compared to batch-ground approaches
• The 85mm burr diameter supports both speed and grind uniformity under sustained use
• Consistent dosing helps baristas maintain shot quality without repeated dialling-in mid-service
• The robust motor handles continuous use across a full service period without performance drop-off

In terms of placement, the GX85 sits comfortably on a standard barista counter alongside a commercial espresso machine. It requires a standard UK mains supply and no specialist installation beyond a stable, level surface with adequate clearance for the hopper. At 21kg it can be repositioned if needed, though in most set-ups it will remain in a fixed position at the machine. Bear in mind that burr grinders of this type require regular cleaning and periodic burr inspection to maintain grind quality — this is routine maintenance, not a limitation of the model specifically.

The GX85 is well suited to independent coffee shops, café bars, and small coffee chain sites with consistent espresso-based menus and moderate to high daily covers. Sites with very high-volume throughput — such as large quick-service venues or multi-group espresso set-ups — may benefit from considering a higher-capacity model with a larger burr diameter or dual hoppers.

If you are unsure whether the GX85 is the right match for your service volume or existing espresso set-up, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
