Choosing a commercial coffee grinder to match an espresso machine and expected drink volume.

Commercial Coffee Grinders

Commercial coffee grinders are designed for frequent use, consistent dosing and reliable operation throughout a working day.

They are commonly used in:

  • CafΓ©s and coffee shops
  • Restaurants and bars
  • Hotels
  • Mobile coffee businesses
  • Bakeries and farm shops
  • Offices with traditional espresso machines
  • Other hospitality venues

A commercial grinder should be matched to your busiest service period rather than your average day.

A grinder that performs comfortably during quieter periods may struggle when several orders arrive at once.

On-Demand or Dispenser Coffee Grinder?

On-Demand Coffee Grinders

An on-demand grinder grinds a measured dose directly into the portafilter when the barista activates it.

This helps to:

βœ… Keep the coffee freshly ground

βœ… Improve dosing consistency

βœ… Reduce pre-ground coffee waste

βœ… Make adjustment easier

βœ… Support a quicker espresso workflow

Most modern cafΓ©s and coffee shops choose on-demand grinders for their main espresso service.

Dispenser Coffee Grinders

A traditional dispenser or doser grinder prepares coffee into a separate chamber. The barista then releases a measured portion into the portafilter.

These grinders can still suit:

βœ… Businesses preparing batches in advance

βœ… Lower-cost commercial setups

βœ… Decaffeinated or secondary coffee

βœ… Sites with established dispenser workflows

Neither format is automatically wrong. The right choice depends on how you serve coffee.

What Do Burr Size and Burr Type Mean?

The burrs are the cutting surfaces inside the grinder.

Larger burrs can generally grind coffee more quickly and may be better suited to busy commercial environments. Smaller burrs can be entirely suitable for lower-volume service and home espresso.

Flat Burr Grinders

Flat burrs are widely used in commercial espresso grinders and can provide consistent particle size and controlled dosing.

Conical Burr Grinders

Conical burrs can offer fast grinding with lower rotational speeds, depending on the grinder design.

Burr size alone should not decide which grinder you buy. Motor strength, cooling, adjustment, dosing, build quality and expected workload also matter.

Honest Advice on Coffee Grinders

There is no point selling you the biggest commercial coffee grinder if your setup does not need it.

We will look at your coffee machine, expected volume, busiest periods and available space before recommending a grinder.

That may mean a compact Eureka grinder for home, a dependable commercial model for a restaurant or a high-volume Remidag grinder for a busy cafΓ© or coffee shop.

Alongside grinders, we supply traditional espresso machines, Italian Aroma coffee beans, knock-out boxes, water filters, Urnex cleaning products and the other equipment needed to complete your setup.

As well as free delivery, we can install and set up your new commercial coffee equipment β€” as well as give any training you might need to get the most from it.

We know coffee. We know the equipment. And we would rather recommend the right grinder than simply the most expensive one.

Coffee Grinder FAQs

Straightforward answers about commercial grinders, burrs, dosing, capacity, cleaning and choosing the right model.

What is the best coffee grinder?

The best coffee grinder is one that matches your coffee machine, expected volume and preferred brewing method.

For commercial espresso, choose a grinder that provides precise adjustment, consistent dosing and enough capacity to manage your busiest service period. For home espresso, a compact grinder with fine adjustment may be more appropriate.

What is the difference between a commercial and domestic coffee grinder?

Commercial coffee grinders are designed for heavier workloads, faster grinding and repeated use throughout the day.

Domestic grinders are generally smaller and intended for lower daily volumes. Some professional compact grinders can suit both home espresso and lighter commercial use.

Do I need a separate grinder for a traditional espresso machine?

Yes. A traditional espresso machine requires a separate grinder capable of producing fine, consistent espresso grounds.

Bean-to-cup coffee machines have a grinder built into the machine.

What size grinder capacity do I need?

The right grinder capacity depends on your busiest service period, not just your average daily coffee volume.

A lower-volume grinder may suit home use, small offices, restaurants serving occasional coffee or a secondary decaffeinated setup.

Medium-volume grinders are better suited to smaller cafΓ©s, coffee shops, hotels, restaurants and mobile coffee businesses.

Busy cafΓ©s, coffee shops and high-footfall hospitality venues will usually need a high-volume commercial coffee grinder with faster output, larger burrs and enough capacity to keep up during peak periods.

We’ll help you match the grinder to your espresso machine, expected drink volume and busiest times.

What is an on-demand coffee grinder?

An on-demand grinder prepares a measured portion of coffee directly into the portafilter when activated.

This keeps the coffee freshly ground, improves consistency and can reduce waste compared with preparing larger amounts in advance.

Are burr coffee grinders better than blade grinders?

For espresso and professional coffee preparation, burr grinders are the correct choice.

They grind coffee between controlled cutting surfaces, providing more consistent particle sizes than a basic blade grinder.

What size coffee grinder do I need for a cafΓ© or coffee shop?

That depends on your espresso machine, daily drink volume and busiest service period.

A small cafΓ© may need a medium-volume grinder, while a busy coffee shop using a two-group or three-group espresso machine will normally need a faster commercial model with larger burrs and greater capacity.

What is the difference between flat and conical burrs?

Flat and conical burrs use different shapes to grind coffee.

Both can produce excellent espresso. The overall grinder design, adjustment system, motor, burr size and intended workload are more important than choosing a grinder based only on burr shape.

How often should coffee grinder burrs be replaced?

It depends on the grinder, burr material, coffee volume and type of beans used.

Signs that burrs may need attention include slower grinding, uneven grounds, inconsistent extraction or needing increasingly large adjustment changes.

How often should a coffee grinder be cleaned?

The hopper and accessible surfaces should be kept clean regularly, while the burr chamber should be cleaned according to usage and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Busy commercial grinders require more frequent cleaning than grinders used occasionally at home.

Can coffee grinders be leased?

Yes. Commercial coffee grinders can be leased through finance, subject to approval.

The current StafCo range includes Remidag, Eureka and Cunill coffee grinders, covering compact home models through to high-volume commercial equipment.

Do Remidag coffee grinders have a warranty?

Yes. Remidag professional coffee grinders include a three-year parts and labour warranty as standard.
