La Marzocco is one of the most iconic and trusted names in the espresso industry. For nearly 100 years, the Italian company has been manufacturing high-end espresso machines, and the La Marzocco logo has become synonymous with quality when seen on a café brew bar. These days, La Marzocco also has a collection of premium espresso grinders. The Swan is the latest addition to this line, a commercial grinder that sports La Marzocco’s distinctive aesthetic, an impressive burrset and a host of innovative features.

About the La Marzocco Swan Commercial Espresso Grinder

La Marzocco has poured its near-century of experience into making the Swan a truly cutting-edge commercial espresso grinder that can set up the perfect puck every time. This begins with La Marzocco’s proprietary anti-clumping technology, which neutralises static charge. When coffee beans come into contact with espresso burrs, this typically generates static electricity which causes the finely ground coffee to “clump” together. This can cause inconsistencies in the puck after tamping, leading to detrimental effects on your espresso extraction. Thanks to La Marzocco’s patented tech, when grounds leave the Swan’s chute they land neatly in the portafilter without clinging to any nearby surfaces or clumping together. This minimises retention and wasteful mess on countertops, and provides the barista with the perfect starting point for puck prep.

Regarding burrs, the Swan features a belt-driven burr carrier backed up by an advanced motor control and monitoring system. This helps keep burr speed constant regardless of grind adjustments or resistance from the beans, and also measures dose by the number of burr rotations, which is more consistent and reliable than more standard time-based dosing systems. Moreover, most grinder burrs heat up during use, which can alter their size and shape slightly and thus throw off calibration and consistency. This isn’t a problem for the Swan. Its belt drive system is more efficient than the direct drive system found on most other espresso grinders, resulting in reduced heat generation. It also acts to direct heat produced by the Swan’s motor away from the burrs. The result is peerless consistency and efficiency, and, thanks to the massive 83mm burrs, an impressive output of 2.5 to 4 grams of ground coffee per second, making it perfect for any commercial setting. 

Moving to more general quality-of-life features, the Swan also include a button-less actuator that uses the conductivity of the portafilter as the sensor to activate grinding. It also sports an intuitive 3-button interface and minimalist digital display, and can be cleaned painlessly thanks to easy access to the burrs from both above and below. 
All in all, the La Marzocco Swan is a truly state-of-the-art commercial grinder. With an elegant design, myriad coveted features and a bevy of groundbreaking technological advances, it’s simply ahead of the curve, and a boon to any commercial coffee setup.
