Mahlkonig EK43 Grinder: Precision for High-Volume Coffee
A busy café counter cannot afford grind drift between the morning espresso rush and the afternoon pour-over service. The Mahlkonig EK43 grinder holds particle size distribution steady across espresso, filter, and Turkish grinds, shift after shift.
Consistency at Commercial Scale
Mahlkonig has spent decades refining flat-burr grinding for specialty coffee. The EK43 carries that engineering into a single machine that serves espresso bars, filter counters, and roastery cupping labs without swapping equipment. Its 98mm flat burrs are cut from premium cast steel and hold their edge through continuous, high-volume use.
Stepless grind adjustment means baristas dial in a setting rather than jump between fixed steps, so recipe changes are exact and repeatable across shifts and staff.

Facts Behind the Mahlkonig EK43 Grinder
98mm Flat Burrs
Premium cast steel burrs deliver a uniform particle size distribution that improves extraction and flavour clarity across every brew method.
Stepless Adjustment
Micro-fine, tool-free grind adjustment gives baristas exact control when switching between espresso, filter, and Turkish fine coffee.
Multi-Application Grinding
One machine handles espresso, filter, and Turkish fine coffee, cutting the need for multiple single-purpose grinders on a busy counter.
Beyond Coffee
With individual burr sets and a pre-breaker, the EK43 can also grind spices, grain, poppy seed, and linseed for roasteries offering wider product lines.
High-Capacity Build
A robust chassis and high grinding capacity support back-to-back batches through peak café hours without losing consistency.
Integrated Bag Holder
A built-in bag holder streamlines dosing directly into service bags, keeping workflow tidy on a busy counter.
Mahlkonig EK43 Specifications
Home Bar vs Café Counter
