Mahlkonig E80W Grind-by-Sync Espresso Grinder
Mahlkönig E80W Grind-by-Sync: The World's First Self-Adjusting Espresso Grinder
Welcome to the new era of espresso workflow. The Mahlkönig E80W Grind-by-Sync (GbS) is the most significant leap in grinding technology in a generation, an evolution of the industry-leading E80S Grind-by-Weight that introduces a new, groundbreaking layer of intelligence: The Sync System.
This is the first espresso grinder that actively communicates with your espresso machine, creating a "closed-loop" ecosystem that automatically adjusts its own grind setting to guarantee the perfect extraction, every time. It uses a smart algorithm and a new high-precision electric motor to manage the burr distance, ensuring your espresso shots are reproducible across all baristas, all shifts, and all your locations.
Two Grinders in One: Standalone GbW & The Revolutionary Sync System
The E80W GbS is a powerhouse, whether used as a standalone grinder or as a fully integrated "Sync" solution.
1. As a World-Class Grind-by-Weight (GbW) Grinder: At its core, the E80W is a peerless gravimetric grinder. It features a high-precision load cell that provides real-time dosing control, weighing the coffee as it grinds. This eliminates inconsistencies from bean density or hopper levels, guaranteeing a perfect, accurate dose by weight, not time.
2. As a "Grind-by-Sync" (GbS) Solution: When paired with a compatible La Marzocco machine (such as the Linea PB ABR, GB5 ABR, or KB90 ABR), the grinder and machine communicate wirelessly.
- The machine pulls a shot and measures the extraction time.
- If the shot is too fast (coarse grind), the machine instantly signals the grinder.
- The E80W's electric motor automatically makes a micro-adjustment to a finer setting.
- If the shot is too slow (fine grind), the grinder automatically adjusts coarser.
This real-time, automatic alignment ensures your espresso is always perfectly dialed in, reducing coffee waste, freeing up baristas, and delivering unparalleled consistency.
Core Performance & Engineering
- Massive 80mm Special Steel Burrs: The engine of this grinder, these large flat burrs are designed for high-speed, high-volume performance and have an exceptional lifespan.
- Active Temperature Control: A powerful motor is paired with an active cooling system to manage heat, protecting your coffee's delicate aromatics and ensuring grind consistency, even during the busiest rush.
- Motorized, High-Precision Adjustment: The new electric motor allows for incredibly fine, repeatable micro-adjustments to the burr distance, controlled either manually by the barista or automatically by the Sync System.
- Patented Disc Distance Detection (DDD): This technology allows the grinder to know the exact physical distance between the burrs, providing a true and accurate setting for perfect fineness control.
A Smarter, Faster Workflow
- Integrated Portafilter Detection: The grinder automatically recognizes the portafilter, speeding up the workflow, saving time, and ensuring quality assurance in a hands-free operation.
- High-Resolution 88.3mm Display: A crystal-clear, wide-angle display provides a beautiful and intuitive interface for baristas to manage settings.
- Adjustable Illuminated Spout: A built-in LED light illuminates the portafilter, while the adjustable spout provides a clean, centered, and fluffy dose of grounds every time.
- Pleasantly Quiet Grinding: Despite its power, the E80W is engineered for a low noise level, helping to maintain a calm and welcoming café atmosphere.
