Description
High-speed commercial espresso grinding built for demanding café service.
The Mahlkönig E80S is a premium commercial espresso grinder designed for cafés that need fast grinding, consistent particle distribution and precise adjustment throughout a busy service day.
Its large 80 mm cast-steel burrs, powerful motor, active temperature management and patented Disc Distance Detection technology make the E80S especially well suited to high-volume espresso bars where speed and repeatability matter.
80 mm Cast-Steel Burrs
The E80S uses large 80 mm cast-steel burrs with a tooth geometry developed specifically for high-performance espresso grinding.
Mahlkönig lists an approximate burr life of 2,500 kg at a median grind setting, giving the grinder the durability required for demanding professional environments.
Up to 8 g per Second
On the 60 Hz North American configuration, the E80S delivers an average grinding capacity of approximately 7 to 8 grams per second at a 250-micron grind setting.
This high output helps reduce waiting time during peak periods and supports fast, continuous espresso preparation.
Patented Disc Distance Detection
Mahlkönig's Disc Distance Detection technology measures the physical distance between the burrs, giving baristas a precise and repeatable reference for grind fineness.
Rather than relying only on an arbitrary dial number, DDD makes it easier to document, reproduce and communicate grind settings between baristas.
Active Temperature Management
The powerful commercial motor is supported by active temperature management to help maintain stable grinding performance during extended periods of high-volume use.
Designed for Heavy-Duty Espresso Service
The E80S is designed for cafés with significant daily espresso volume, combining high-speed grinding with a burr profile developed to support consistent extraction and flavour.
88.3 mm High-Resolution Display
A large 88.3 mm high-resolution display provides a clear view of grinder settings and operating information from a wide viewing angle.
Adjustable Illuminated Spout
The coffee outlet can be adjusted to help centre the ground coffee in the portafilter, while integrated illumination improves visibility during dosing.
Quiet Commercial Operation
Despite its large burrs and high grinding speed, Mahlkönig designed the E80S for pleasantly quiet operation in professional coffee environments.
1.8 kg Bean Hopper
The standard hopper holds approximately 1,800 g of coffee beans, reducing refill frequency during high-volume espresso service.
Compact Commercial Footprint
At only 240 mm wide, the E80S provides high-capacity grinding performance without taking up excessive counter width beside the espresso machine.
