What is a grind-by-weight grinder?

It doses coffee by weight instead of by time. The Markibar Izaga W holds the dose to within ±0.1 g, so each shot starts from the same amount of coffee.

Which grinder suits a small café or office?

The Fiorenzato AllGround+ is compact (500 g hopper, 9 kg) with 64 mm flat burrs and suits small cafés, offices and shops. Busier counters benefit from the larger hopper of the F64 Evo or the by-weight dosing of the Izaga W.

How to choose an espresso grinder for a café

Updated 2026-10-28

The grinder sets the ceiling for your espresso. A consistent grind and a repeatable dose do more for the cup than a more expensive machine on its own. These are the points to weigh.

Burrs and consistency

Professional espresso grinders use flat or conical burrs. The Fiorenzato F64 Evo, Fiorenzato AllGround+ and Markibar Izaga W all use 64 mm flat burrs. Larger burrs spread the work over more cutting surface, which helps keep the grind consistent over a long service.

On-demand or grind-by-weight

On-demand grinders grind fresh for each shot instead of storing ground coffee in a doser. Grind-by-weight goes one step further and doses by weight: the Izaga W holds the dose to within ±0.1 g without the barista adjusting a timer, which cuts waste and keeps shots repeatable.

Key figures from the datasheets:

Model	Burrs	Hopper	Power	Weight
Fiorenzato AllGround+	64 mm flat, Dark-T coating	500 g	250 W	9 kg
Fiorenzato F64 Evo	64 mm flat	1.5 kg	350 W	see product page
Markibar Izaga W (by weight)	64 mm flat	1.5 kg	525 W	16 kg

Automatic tampers and counter space

An automatic tamper applies the same pressure to every dose and frees up the counter. The PUQ Press M4 is built into the grinder for Fiorenzato F64 and F83 models, the M2 for the Nuova Simonelli Mythos One and Two, and the Q1 is stand-alone and works with any grinder.

Keep it clean

Coffee oils build up on burrs and affect taste. Clean the grinder on a schedule with a dedicated grinder cleaner.
