Mahlkönig EK43 S: The Compact King of Grinding

World-Class Performance, Reimagined for Your Bar

The Mahlkönig EK43 S brings the undisputed power and precision of the coffee industry’s most celebrated grinder into a compact, space-saving form factor. For years, the original EK43 has been the "Queen of Coffee," dominating competition stages and specialty roasteries globally. The "S" (Short) model delivers that exact same legendary performance—identical burrs, identical motor, identical grind profile—but stands approximately 10cm shorter.

This is the ultimate solution for the quality-obsessed café, restaurant, or laboratory where counter space is at a premium but compromise is not an option.

Key Features & Benefits

The Legend, Condensed

The EK43 S provides the exact same technical prowess as its taller sibling. It utilizes 98mm cast steel burrs mounted vertically to ensure near-perfect particle uniformity. This specific geometry is famous for producing a unimodal grind distribution, which allows for higher extraction rates and unrivaled flavor clarity. It doesn't just grind coffee; it unlocks the full sensory potential of your beans.

True "Allround" Versatility

Whether you are grinding for a rich, full-bodied Turkish coffee or a coarse French Press, the EK43 S handles it all with ease.

• Retail & Brew: The integrated spring-loaded bag clamp makes it the perfect retail grinder for customers buying bags of beans.
• Espresso & Filter: Its precise stepless adjustment allows it to serve as a high-end single-dose espresso grinder or a dedicated batch brew workhorse.

German Engineering & Durability

Built to withstand the heaviest workloads, the EK43 S is a tank.

• High-Torque Motor: The powerful 1300W motor ensures consistent rotational speed even under load, delivering a grinding capacity of 19–21 grams per second.
• Long-Life Burrs: The premium cast steel burrs are rated for approximately 6,000 kg (approx. 13,000 lbs) of coffee, ensuring years of service before maintenance is required.

Precision Control

• Stepless Adjustment: The iconic large dial on the front allows for quick, intuitive, and highly repeatable adjustments.
• Multipurpose: With the purchase of separate specialty burrs, this unit can even be converted to grind spices, grains, or poppy seeds, making it a versatile tool for culinary environments.
