Commercial Coffee Grinders

Whether you're looking for a compact digital coffee grinder for an espresso machine or a heavy-duty silver commercial bean grinder for a drip machine, you will find it in our professional coffee bean grinder collection.

You will find 2 main types of grinders in our commercial coffee grinder machine range — blade and burr grinders. We've outlined their advantages and uses below to help you decide which may be better suited to your business.

Blade Coffee Grinders

Blade grinders have a propeller-style blade that chops up coffee beans. They are typically accompanied by a built-in timer. The longer the chopping time, the finer the grind of the coffee.

Blade grinders produce a more variable grind and pick up more static charge compared to burr grinders. This type of industrial coffee grinder machine is a good option for drip machine, pour-over, or French press brew methods that require a coarse grind.

Burr Coffee Grinders

A commercial burr grinder comes equipped with two toothed discs (or burrs). These are used to mill your coffee beans to a uniform size. The gap between burrs influences your grind size — the wider you set the gap, the coarser the grind.

Consistent extraction with a commercial espresso grinder allows baristas to get the most out of their freshly ground coffee beans. For this reason, many commercial espresso grinders typically feature burrs. This design helps produce a more uniform particle size that’s perfect for an espresso machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read our answers to some frequently asked questions to learn more about commercial coffee grinders and how important these machines are for your coffee-making process.

What's the difference between dosers and on-demand grinders?

A doser espresso coffee grinder holds the ground coffee in a container (often called a chamber) for the barista to manually dispenseinto the portafilter. Although dosers are more affordable than an on-demand grinder they tend to create more mess, and there is a higher risk of the coffee going stale if left in the dosing chamber for more than a couple of minutes.

A commercial automatic coffee grinder grinds directly into the group handle without the use of a dosing chamber. Exact dosing is possible at the press of a button.

Although slightly slower to dose, the upside of a commercial on-demand coffee grinder includes greater accuracy, fresher coffee, and less waste. Baristas can usually pull more consistent shots with an on-demand commercial coffee grinder.

If you're looking for an efficient and fast coffee grinder machine for commercial use in a cafe or restaurant, a coffee grinder with on-demand capabilities is a perfect fit.

How do high-speed and low-speed automatic grinders differ?

Measured in Revolutions Per Minute (RPMs), grinding speed has an effect on the extraction process and, ultimately, on how good your coffee tastes. Low-speed grinders have a lower RPM, meaning they produce less heat buildup and static but take longer to brew.

With larger motors and higher RPMs, high-speed grinders have a faster flow rate and usually create a more consistent grind size. However, these machines produce more noise and heat. This is potentially risky, as coffee beans that get too hot when ground can create a bitter-tasting brew.

How often do you need to clean commercial coffee grinders?

Regularly cleaning your professional coffee grinder machine will significantly improve the taste of the coffee you brew and ensure the longevity and performance of your new grinder.

Cleaning burr or blade professional grinders once every two weeks is a simple and straightforward process that doesn't take long but is worth it in the long run.

What are the benefits of using a commercial grinder for coffee beans?

The uniformity of your grind plays a big role in the quality of coffee. Uneven grinds can disrupt the flavour of water through the coffee grounds. This means that using the wrong size grind for your coffee machine can result in bad coffee, wasted beans, and disgruntled customers.

Investing in a good quality commercial coffee bean grinder machine can help scale up your operations to meet higher demands. It will also grind your beans at low temperatures, creating less static and ensuring the ground coffee doesn’t clump together.

The end result is baristas enjoying better control of the coffee-making process, allowing their skills and the coffee’s distinct characteristics to shine so your business can boom.
