Mahlkonig X64 Single-dose Espresso Grinder

For any coffee setup, choosing a high-quality grinder should arguably be your most important consideration. Mahlkönig, the ‘King of Grinders’, is a German manufacturer known for maintaining exceptionally high standards when it comes to grind consistency and particle uniformity. Mahlkönig has become a defining symbol of quality within the coffee industry by offering precision grinders for both commercial and domestic settings.

Grinding single-doses has become much more commonplace in the world of specialty coffee in recent years. Single-dose grinding gives brewers the flexibility to switch between different beans and brew methods while minimising waste and maintaining consistency. Unlike on-demand grinders, single-dose grinders are specially designed to retain as few coffee grounds as possible. They also typically feature convenient grind adjustment mechanisms for drastic shifts between coarse settings for filter and fine for espresso. This reduces the coffee wasted in the process of dialling in or calibrating the grinder. Mahlkönig’s dedicated single-dose grinder, the X64, combines the power and precision of their café grinders with all of the above.

The X64 SD espresso grinder delivers Mahlkönig’s pedigree of precision to your coffee setup, with near-silent operation for early morning coffees. The X64’s adjustment mechanism lets you dial in your grind size with tiny, micrometric movements. The size scale, ranging from 0 to 12, allows you to keep track of your preferred settings for espresso all the way to cold brew. This external dial is also used to zero-calibrate the grinder without tools if any shifting occurs.

The Mahlkönig X64 single-dose grinder comes with a stainless steel dosing cup featuring a magnetised base and a separate catch funnel. The grinder’s base hopper holds about 30 grams of beans and, inside, the built-in anti-popcorning fixture doubles as a finger guard. Different hopper attachments also come included: a hopper extender lets you store up to 100 grams, and the tight-fitting coffee bellows are used to keep the X64 residue-free.

The Mahlkönig X64 SD espresso grinder combines the versatility to grind for different brewing methods with the exceptional engineering the brand is known for. It is suitable for both home baristas looking for all-round performance, and for pour-over brewing in café settings.
