Coffee Grinders

The true key to consistent coffee

A commercial coffee grinder is one of the most integral parts of any coffee making operation. A quality coffee machine requires a good supporting accessory. Coffee beans need to be ground well to achieve an exceptional cup of coffee.

Having access to a quality coffee grinder is the difference between average coffee and great coffee.

Perfect for all levels of the catering, cafe and coffee industry. A coffee grinder goes hand in hand with both the barista and the espresso machine; its importance cannot be overstated.

With an array of grinders which are available to order, we can also provide suitable accessories like spare hoppers to increase storage. This is something needed for those working in high volume locations.

Importance of the grind

There is no avoiding it; a quality grinder is a necessity for those who are operating within a commercial environment. A top quality grinding unit will be one of the building blocks of any successful coffee shop or cafe.

Each variety of bean has distinct and different characteristics. Therefore being able to fine-tune your grinder to accommodate for this has become an integral part of the brewing process. Too coarse and the espresso will be too weak, too fine and coffee could be burnt.

There's no avoiding it, if you have a machine, you'll need a solid performing coffee grinder to match.

It is important to remember that an excellent espresso machine will only make poor coffee if used with a lousy coffee grinder.

Dosers vs On Demand grinders

This type of grinder grinds your coffee beans into a container instead of directly into the group handle.

The barista then simply turns a handle or pulls a lever to 'dose' the shot of ground coffee into the group handle before brewing.

There are a few variations on the doser option to be aware of:

• Automatic grinders – These units automatically grind coffee for quick dispensing in busy locations. They fill up the doser unit as all used coffee is used and replaced.
• Manual grinders – These grinders are controlled by the barista. They turn on the grinder when filling the doser, it's important to note that the doser on these machines will not empty during busy periods.
• Timed grinders – Utilising timing settings, these grinders can be set to grind your beans for a set period of time throughout the day. They will do this even at many intervals, to help decrease wastage.

A doser grinder offers a few key advantages, streamlining the espresso making process by having ground fresh coffee ready.

During very busy periods, this can make a huge difference n the time it takes to prepare and serve customers.

Dosage style coffee grinders are prone to seeing coffee lose freshness if left for long periods without serving.

Designed to grind and dispense when required, an On Demand grinder, places the ground coffee directly into the portafilter.

Dosing straight into the portafilter means that the coffee has no time to lose freshness. This results in espresso that contains more fresh flavour.

There is room for error with an on demand option, grinding in this way is prone to spillage if the group handle is incorrectly positioned.

We often recommend an on demand grinder for coffee shops looking to serve the finest coffee.
