\"new<\/a><\/p>\n

Commercial coffee grinder makers this year zeroed in on both automation and dose precision, sometimes leaning heavily into ones and zeroes to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

Compak, for one, launched a grinder that preemptively grinds and stores volumetric doses for quick dispensation at peak business times. Mazzer took its first step into the electric single-dose category, while also unveiling its first grind-by-weight (GBW) models.<\/p>\n

German grinder company Mahlk\u00f6nig had an absolutely huge year of product launches, introducing its new flagship EK grinder, the Omnia, as well as a new system that communicates with La Marzocco espresso machines for automated grinder adjustments.<\/p>\n

Rancilio, meanwhile, revealed a similar feat achieved entirely in-house with an espresso-machine-synced grind-by-weight grinder, the Bond.<\/p>\n

As we continue our 2023 Year in Review<\/a>, here’s a look back at these and other exciting innovations in the world of commercial coffee grinders.<\/p>\n

In Predose mode, the grinder will grind and accumulate portions of coffee inside a dosing chamber. A trap door releases the full dose all at once, then closes to immediately grind and store the next dose automatically. The intent is for Predose mode to be used during peak busy times while still maintaining freshness… read more<\/a><\/p>\n
