HeyCafe HC-880 LAB S Commercial Bulk Grinder

Big Burrs. Compact Footprint. The Ultimate Retail Solution.

The HeyCafe HC-880 LAB S proves that you don't need a massive machine to deliver massive results. Designed specifically for high-traffic roasteries, busy cafés, and cupping labs, this grinder is a heavy-duty "Lab" unit condensed into a space-saving chassis.

If your business sells whole-bean coffee by the bag, the HC-880 LAB S is your new best friend. It combines the speed and consistency of a large industrial grinder with the ease of use required for a retail environment. Whether you are grinding a 12oz bag for a customer or prepping a 5lb batch for cold brew, the HC-880 LAB S powers through the task with speed and precision.

Why the HC-880 LAB S is a Retail Essential

1. Massive 84mm Hardened Steel Burrs At the heart of this machine lies a set of 84mm Flat Burrs.

• The Benefit: Larger burrs mean cooler grinding and better particle uniformity.
• The Material: Constructed from Hardened Steel, these burrs are designed to withstand years of heavy bulk grinding without losing their cutting edge.
• The Speed: Capable of grinding over 450g (1 lb) per minute, this machine keeps lines moving. Your customers won't be waiting around while you grind their bags.

2. Space-Saving "S" Design Real estate on a coffee counter is expensive. The "S" stands for its optimized, compact stature. The HC-880 LAB S maximizes vertical storage with a smart hopper design while keeping the width to a slender 7 inches. It fits easily between espresso machines or next to your POS system without dominating the counter.

3. Workflow & Retention Management

• Stepless Adjustment: The adjustment knob allows for infinite settings, letting you dial in the perfect grind size for Turkish, Espresso, Drip, or French Press with total accuracy.
• Powder Shaker (Knocker): Retention is the enemy of freshness. The built-in powder shaker allows the barista to clear the chute completely after grinding, ensuring the customer gets 100% of the coffee they paid for and preventing cross-contamination between different roasts.
• Bag Clamp: The versatile chute features a container holder/clamp that allows you to grind hands-free directly into a retail bag.

4. Heavy-Duty Construction This is not a plastic appliance. The HC-880 LAB S features a robust, heavy-duty metal body weighing in at 51 lbs. This weight dampens vibration and noise, ensuring the grinder stays rock-steady during operation.

Maintenance & Care
