Santos 04 Shop Coffee Grinder – Commercial Bag Grinder
£937.00(£1,124.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Santos 04 suitable for grinding to order at a coffee bar?
The Model 04 is designed for batch grinding rather than single-dose espresso-to-order service. It performs best in retail, roastery, or bakery environments where ground coffee is prepared in larger quantities for pre-packing or sale by weight. If your operation requires grinding directly into a portafilter for espresso service, a dedicated on-demand barista grinder would be a more appropriate choice.
What are the installation requirements for the Santos 04?
The unit runs on a standard single-phase mains supply and requires no specialist plumbing or ventilation. It sits on a counter or shelf and is stable at 18kg. You will need to allow clearance above the hopper for filling and sufficient height beneath the bag holder for the bag or container you are dispensing into — worth checking against your existing counter setup before installation.
How much coffee can the Santos 04 grind in a typical working day?
With an average output of 14kg per hour, the Model 04 has ample capacity for most retail and roastery environments. The 1kg hopper means it suits regular refill-and-grind cycles rather than one continuous unattended run. For very high-volume sites processing large quantities in a single session, it is worth speaking to us about whether a heavier-duty model with greater hopper capacity would better match your throughput requirements.
