Can this grinder handle both espresso and filter coffee?

Yes. The 078SSP burr geometry is designed to work across the full grind range, from fine espresso to coarse pourover and French press, without needing to swap burr sets.

How long do the burrs last?

The titanium-based coating extends burr life to over 6,000 kg of coffee. At typical home use—around 20 kg per year—that translates to decades of consistent grinding before replacement.

What does variable RPM control do?

Adjusting the motor speed lets you reduce retention and static buildup. Slower speeds work well for lighter roasts and finer grinds, while faster speeds move darker or coarser coffee through more quickly.

Is this grinder suitable for single-dosing?

Yes. The magnetic catch cup, rotary knocker, and grind-by-weight workflow are all designed for single-dose use, where you grind only what you need for each brew.

How does the rotary knocker work?

A built-in mechanism lets you tap the grinder body to release retained grounds into the catch cup. This eliminates the need to lift or shake the entire unit, which is useful given its size and weight.

Flat burr electric grinder with 78mm SSP geometry for espresso and pourover

Most home grinders make you choose: espresso burrs that muddy filter coffee, or filter burrs that choke on fine settings. This one uses a geometry that handles both without compromise, so you can pull shots in the morning and brew a pourover in the afternoon using the same burr set. The 78mm diameter and titanium coating mean the burrs stay sharp and consistent through years of daily use, which matters if you're done replacing grinders every 18 months.

Good gift when

Home baristas who dial in both espresso and pourover regularly
Single-dose users who want low retention and minimal mess
People replacing a smaller grinder and ready for burr longevity
Anyone seeking clarity and separation in lighter roasted coffees

Skip it if This grinder is sized for countertop placement and weighs enough that you won't want to move it daily. If you brew only one method or need something portable, a smaller dedicated grinder will take up less space and cost less upfront.

The details

This bench-top grinder combines a 78mm flat burr set with SSP geometry and a titanium-based coating rated for over 6,000 kg of use. The burr design is built to handle both espresso and filter extractions, delivering grind uniformity across a range of settings without the need to swap components.

The motor offers variable RPM control so you can dial retention and static based on the coffee and grind size. A rotary knocker built into the body lets you tap grounds loose without lifting the unit, and the magnetic catch cup snaps into place for single-dose workflow. The larger burr diameter keeps friction and heat generation lower than smaller sets, which helps maintain grind consistency during longer sessions.

The coating extends edge life well beyond uncoated steel, so the burrs hold their geometry through heavy use. Two color options are available, both with the same burr set and feature lineup. The grinder is designed for countertop placement and works with a wide range of brew methods, from fine espresso to coarse French press.
