Making sure that the grinding environment is always cool, the fan system preserves the flavor and quality of the coffee. As the fan system only runs when the motor is active, the E65S conserves energy. These upgrades allow the grinder to run without overheating. The motor holds almost no heat, supporting the temperature control system that protects your coffee from taking on burned, bitter flavors.

Best Pick For Mid-volume Coffee Shops

Ceado E37T Coffee Grinder

Titanium-coated burrs on the Ceado E37T extend the life of your grinder. They're also stronger, which means you'll be able to use them longer and grind more coffee with them. In simple terms, the stronger, sharper your burrs run, the less work they have to do, which means that your coffee won't heat up as much, which is one of the greatest compromises.

A temperature control system is integrated into the Ceado E37T. When necessary, the fan automatically kicks in. An amazing feature for the price. If a grinder has a fan, it's either constantly running waiting to burn out or it's only on when you're grinding.

With Ceado's steady lock grinding system, your burr grinder will always maintain a constant distance between its burrs under any condition. Your quest for the perfect espresso is made easier with the steady lock system, which eliminates just another variable.

Ceado pioneered the concept of the infinitesimal grinding adjustment, which makes it even easier to get the exact particle size for each brew method. The quick set revolution on the E37 grinder makes it incredibly easy, faster, and more accurate to grind.

E37 family grinders are extremely easy to maintain. Maintenance on your Ceado is easy because of the quick service and anti-clogging system. By using easy access burrs, you can clean and maintain your equipment with less effort and for less money.

No need to change the grind setting after clearing the burrs. No need to re-calibrate the grinder. The grinder's grinding chamber can be accessed by loosening three Phillips head screws on the top.

Regardless of what portafilter you have, including bottomless/naked models, the standard portafilter fork keeps your hands free. While you perform other steps in your brewing process, the coffee doses can be ground straight into the filter holder.

There are three timed dosing settings available on the Ceado E37T, which is super convenient if you change coffees frequently or have different recipes or drink sizes to accommodate. Maintain greater consistency with Ceado E37T and never guess again on your dosing!

Best Commercial Stepless Coffee Grinder

Mazzer Super Jolly Coffee Grinder

Specifically the Super Jolly V Pro, which combines new technology from the Mazzer V line and provides baristas with premium quality, precision, and maximum control during grinding.

With its new 64mm flat burrs, manufactured in the company's Venice factory, the Super Jolly V Pro Electronic is designed for greater productivity throughout a wider range of adjustability than the Super Jolly. The V Pro also allows cleaning burrs without affecting the grind setting. The Super Jolly V Pro model also offers lower overall grind retention. A newly adjustable portafilter holder includes a grind activation button.

V Pro also features the company's "memory track" settings collar, which has been introduced on other models in recent years, allowing users to continue to index the grind settings, placing the zero at the point where the burrs touch (which naturally shifts over time as the burrs break-in).

A dual-fan cooling system keeps the grinder’s parts and coffee cooler, and a new digital display provides settings, usage stats, notifications, and optional connectivity with a smartphone app.

Get uniform coffee grounds in your portafilter while keeping grounds from getting on the counter with the innovative GFC System. The GFC system consists of a removable aluminum outlet insert equipped with three interchangeable wire dampers. Choose the best wire damper for you according to the coffee origin, roast profile, weather conditions, or barista preferences.

Best Pick For High-volume Coffee Shops

Victoria Arduino Mythos Two Coffee Grinder

An on-demand grinder dedicated to coffee specialists and enthusiasts alike. Featuring a host of features like micrometric grind adjustment allowing the user to adjust the grind to the smallest of adjustments at any point in the process of grinding. Clump crusher tech ensures that every dose is clump free and delivers evenly distributed coffee. Most of these features can be adjusted via the multi-function LCD display.

The Mythos Two is Victoria Arduino’s second grinder in the Mythos line. Capable of doing ground coffee with extreme accuracy by using its actual weight. This is done by using their gravimetric system, ensuring consistent density. This means the dose remains unchanged even if you change the granulometry setting (grind).

The updated Clima Pro 2.0 system now allows the barista to adjust the burr temperatures, thus expanding barista’s range of choice. In addition to keeping the temperature consistent in the grinding chamber, the Mythos 2 is now more stable, reducing unwanted fluctuations of temperature, leading to a more efficient workplace.

Lastly the Mythos 2 now has a variable speed motor which is able to modulate productivity according to the barista’s needs and allows for more accurate dosing.

Best All-round Commercial Coffee Grinder

Mazzer Robur S Coffee Grinder

Mazzer Robur electronic is the ideal coffee grinder for just about any coffee shop. Over the previous model, retention has been reduced by 52% in the Mazzer Robur S. The result is fresher coffee and less waste. Mazzer's complete design of the Robur S grinding chamber and lower burr carrier has resulted in one of the most significant improvements made to the Robur in recent years.

In addition, the Robur S has an incredibly easy-to-clean design of the lower burr carrier. Newly designed lower burr carriers make cleaning the Mazzer Robur S a breeze. Never lose your grind setting while cleaning, as the upper burr remains stationary while the lower burr adjusts.

Grind Flow Control System (GFC) reduces clumps, distributes particle sizes, and reduces mess on your counter. Three interchangeable wire dampers are included in the GFC System. Robur is available with three dampers for a hybrid solution, anti-clumping, and anti-dust. Mazzer Robur S comes with the most versatile wire damper that can accommodate most coffee origins, roast profiles, weather conditions, or barista preferences.

The Robur S has two fans for cooling. To preserve the flavor and aroma of your coffee, it is essential to maintain a low internal temperature even when grinding in a high-volume coffee shop. During the grinding cycle or dose, the Mazzer Robur S's first fan is fixed directly to its 800 Watt motor allowing for continuous cooling. A second low-voltage fan at the back of the body of the grinder spins for 30 seconds after you have finished your dose to maintain internal temperature to prevent fluctuations harmful to the subtlest nuances of your coffee.

A nice addition to the Mazzer Robur S' programming is the barista pause feature. Programming is similar to the Mazzer Robur E's. A barista pause allows for a scheduled break during dosing. The portafilter must be inserted, the desired dose must be selected, the grinding will pause at the preprogrammed time, press the same desired dose again, and the grind will continue.
