The grinder decides as much about a coffee as the espresso machine does. A commercial grinder has to hold a consistent grind size shot after shot, through a busy morning, without overheating the beans. This collection covers commercial espresso grinders from Mazzer, Bezzera and TeVera, for cafes, restaurants and espresso bars.

How to choose a commercial grinder
Burr size and type
Larger burrs grind faster and with less heat, which matters when the grinder runs all morning. Flat burrs give a very even particle size. Conical burrs, like those on the Robur S, can run at lower speed, which keeps heat out of the coffee.
On-demand or timed doses
On-demand grinders grind straight into the handle, so every shot is fresh and there is no stale coffee in a doser. Programmable doses, like the three settings on the Bezzera BZM80EB, make each shot repeatable whoever is on the machine.
Volume
Match the grinder to your daily throughput. The Bezzera Sirio Q is rated for up to 15 kg a day. Busy cafes often run two grinders: one for the house blend and one for decaf or a single origin.
What to check before you order
-
Daily volume. Size the grinder to your busiest day, not your average.
-
Adjustment. Stepless adjustment allows very fine changes as beans and weather change.
-
Bench space. Check width, depth and height under any shelving above the machine.
-
Power. Most run from a standard 10 A outlet; check each listing.
Grind size is the main adjustment a barista makes through the day, as humidity, bean age and roast change how coffee extracts. A grinder that holds its setting and adjusts in fine steps saves coffee and keeps shots consistent from the first customer to the last.

Frequently asked questions
Flat or conical burrs?
Flat burrs give a very even particle size. Conical burrs can run at lower speed, which keeps heat out of the coffee. Both produce excellent espresso; the choice often comes down to taste and volume.
What does on-demand mean on a coffee grinder?
An on-demand grinder grinds straight into the handle when you need it, so every shot is fresh and no ground coffee sits in a doser going stale.
How much coffee can a commercial grinder handle?
It depends on the model. The Bezzera Sirio Q is rated for up to 15 kg of coffee a day. Check the rating on each listing against your daily volume.
Why do burr size and speed matter?
Larger burrs grind faster with less heat, and slower speeds also reduce heat. Less heat protects the flavour of the coffee during long, busy services.
Do commercial coffee grinders need a special power outlet?
Most run from a standard 10 A outlet, including the Bezzera Sirio Q and the TeVera TVCG-84FB-TW. Check each listing.
