Mahlkonig is, without question, one of the most respected manufacturers of high-end commercial coffee grinders on the planet. Their immaculately-engineered café workhorses are built to consistently grind serious amounts of coffee with minimal wastage, and smart, time-saving features. After offering the unparalleled grind consistency and particle distribution of the world-renowned EK43 shop grinder inside the sleek, on demand E80 Supreme grinder, Mahlkonig has introduced Grind-by-Sync (GbS) capabilities to their flagship range.

The Mahlkonig E80W GbS grinder has an impressively large, 80mm set of special steel burrs which are automatically cooled thanks to built-in sensors and a two-fan airflow system. One fan, above the motor, pulls fresh, cool air into the chassis, and a second, below the motor, pushes hot air out. This active temperature control ensures that grounds remain fresh for optimal flavour. Even with the cooling fans active and one of the largest burr sets available, the E80W is remarkably quiet. A sound-muffling aluminium body in conjunction with a suspended internal assembly and dampening gaskets reduces the appliance’s noise to a low hum.

For high-volume cafés focused on speed and reliability, the Mahlkonig E80W GbS keeps up with any level of demand, without sacrificing cup quality. This is thanks to the GbS System which intelligently addresses the variables of dosing and grind size by linking directly to compatible espresso machines. In many ways, we believe this could be the perfect grinder for a busy café looking to deliver the highest quality coffee as possible, at scale.

About Mahlkonig’s Grind-by-Sync system

Grind-by-Sync is a significant step forward for Grind-by-Weight and Grind-by-Time technologies. It leverages Mahlkonig’s innovative Disc Distance Detection system with new features like automatic grind size adjustments and electronic zero calibration. Mahlkonig has introduced grinder to machine connectivity via WiFi or USB. Recipe and extraction data are exchanged between the E80W and compatible commercial espresso machines (such as select La Marzocco or Sanremo models), or a Sync-enabled smart device, such as the Mahlkonig Sync Scale via the Mahlkonig Sync App. This means you can use your phone to set a target extraction time, and if the shot pulled is too fast or too slow, the grinder automatically adjusts its own burr distance to match the target. It removes guesswork, variability, and the recurring need for manual dialling-in.

With a grinding speed of 6-8 grams per second, the E80W espresso grinder is more than fast, and has ample capacity even for the busiest café. It shouldn't miss a beat grinding for a few hundred cups per day. If you're looking for unparalleled consistency and operational efficiency, pair the Mahlkonig E80W GbS with a high-quality commercial espresso machine.

For those without a compatible espresso machine or you just prefer manual adjustment, the Mahlkonig E80W GbS grinder operates like its grind-by-weight predecessor, without needing to sync with an app or a machine.
