Queen of Coffee Grinders

The EK43 has conquered the international coffee specialty industry and rules as the undisputed queen of coffee grinders – with high performance, reliability and premium grinding results. Its outstanding grinding profile remains unmatched.

The EK43 provides the most even extraction of the coffee’s valuable aroma and is known to be a guarantor for an outstanding taste experience and a symbol for quality. Its special shape has become an icon within the international barista scene, which feels deeply connected to the EK43 by its shared passion for coffee.

  • Outstanding particle size spreads feature high extraction rates and the best possible taste
  • Premium cast steel burrs
  • Robust grinder with high grinding capacity
  • Suitable for different applications: filter, espresso, or turkish fine coffee grinding
  • Grinding of other grists such as spices, grain, poppy seed and linseed is possible with individual burrs and pre-breaker
  • Easy and precise grind adjustment
  • Bag holder

Consistent grinding across every brew method

The EK43 is built around one principle: particle size uniformity. Its 98 mm flat burrs produce a tighter distribution than virtually any comparable commercial grinder, which translates directly to cleaner extraction and repeatable results across all brewing methods. One grinder handles your entire menu.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Tighter Particle Distribution for Better Extraction

The EK43's 98 mm flat cast steel burrs produce a particle size distribution that is narrower than virtually any comparable commercial grinder. This tight consistency means more of the coffee bed extracts at the same rate, resulting in cleaner flavor clarity, higher achievable extraction yields, and less bitterness from uneven particle sizes. For shops that have made grind quality the centerpiece of their coffee program, the EK43 sets the standard against which other grinders are measured.

One Grinder for Every Brew Method

With a stepless grind adjustment and a calibratable zero point for precise dial-in, the EK43 covers the full range of grinding applications from a single machine. Baristas can move between espresso, filter, batch brew, and retail bag grinding without switching equipment. Interchangeable burr sets extend that range further, with options for Turkish fine, linseed, poppy seed, grain, and spice grinding for operations that need genuine multi-purpose capacity.

Commercial Throughput Built for Continuous Service

The EK43's 1,300W motor turns at a maximum 1,760 RPM with 60hz frequency, delivering 19–21 g/sec for filter grinding and 3.5lbs per minute at a medium setting. A standard 1kg hopper empties in under one minute, and burrs are rated for approximately 6,000kg of coffee before replacement. Whether you are grinding retail bags to order, running high-volume batch brew, or managing a multi-roaster espresso program, the EK43 maintains consistent output across a full day of commercial service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the EK43 different from other commercial coffee grinders?

The Mahlkönig EK43 is a true multi-purpose, all-round coffee grinder, a distinction that sets it apart from grinders optimized for a single brew method. Its outstanding particle size distribution delivers high extraction rates and exceptional flavor clarity across every grind setting, from Turkish fine to coarse filter. Combined with its robust motor torque, premium cast steel burrs, and easy grind adjustment, the EK43 has become the benchmark for commercial grinding performance in the specialty coffee industry.

Can the EK43 grind for both espresso and filter coffee?

Yes. The EK43 is designed for multiple brewing applications, making it one of the most versatile commercial grinders available. It handles filter and espresso grinding with easy and precise grind adjustment across the full range. With an average grinding capacity of 19–21 g/s for filter and 10–12 g/s for Turkish fine settings, it delivers consistent, high-quality results whichever brew method you're working with. Thanks to the vertical burrs, EK43 has very low retention, making it ideal for single dosing and switching between grind sizes as well as brew methods

Is the EK43 suitable for a small coffee shop?

The EK43 measures 23 x 82.8 x 41 cm and weighs 26 kg, making it a substantial but manageable piece of equipment for most commercial settings. Its high grinding capacity of 19–21 g/s and 1,200 g bean hopper mean it can handle consistent service volume with ease. For cafés with limited counter space or using single dosing, 250-gram hoppers are available. Mahlkönig also offers the EK43 S, which delivers the same grinding performance in a more compact form factor.

What burr size does the EK43 use?

The EK43 uses 98 mm premium cast steel burrs manufactured within our own production facility in Hamburg, Germany, among the largest available in the commercial coffee grinder market. This large burr diameter is central to the EK43's performance, enabling faster grinding speeds, more even particle size distribution, and a longer burr life of approximately 6,000 kg at a median grind setting. The burrs are vertically mounted, which aids accessibility for cleaning and maintenance.
