Description
A Coffee Cupping Grinder Built for Consistency, Not Convenience
Inconsistent particle size ruins a cupping session before the first spoon touches the cup. The Hey Café HC-880 LAB S removes that variable, giving Indian labs, roasteries, and serious home brewers a coffee cupping grinder engineered for repeatable, comparable results.
Engineered for Repeatability
Every part of the HC-880 LAB S is built to remove variables from the grinding process. Large hardened steel burrs hold their edge through high-volume cupping sessions, while a stepless adjustment ring lets you dial in micron-level changes rather than jumping between fixed settings. The result: grind size that stays consistent from the first sample to the fiftieth.
Benefits at the Bench
- Stepless grind setting for precise, repeatable adjustments across brew methods
- Large hardened steel burrs built for sustained, high-volume grinding
- High-performance motor for fast throughput without slowing down cupping flights
- Low heat buildup during grinding, protecting delicate aromatic compounds
- Compact footprint suited to lab benches and busy café counters alike
Inside the Hey Café HC-880 LAB S
Hardened Steel Burrs
Large, long-lasting burrs maintain sharpness and grind consistency through heavy daily use in cupping labs and cafés.
High-Performance Motor
Built for fast grinding at higher volumes, keeping pace with busy cupping tables and high-traffic counters.
Stepless Grind Adjustment
Micron-level precision replaces click-stop settings, giving professionals granular control over particle size.
Powder Shaker
A practical shaker mechanism clears residual grounds after each grind, supporting clean, complete extraction into the cup or bag.
Removable Housing
The housing lifts off easily, simplifying burr cleaning and routine maintenance without tools.
Multi-Purpose Powder Chute
A chute with container holder allows convenient dosing directly into a cup, portafilter, or bag.

Lab Bench, Café Counter, or Home Bar
In a cupping lab, the HC-880 LAB S standardises grind size across samples so tasters are comparing coffee, not grind variance. On a busy café counter, the same stepless precision and high-throughput motor support fast, consistent dosing across shifts. At home, it brings professional-grade repeatability to brewers who care about eliminating variables between cups.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HC-880 LAB S suitable for daily café use, or only for lab work?
Both. Its high-performance motor and hardened steel burrs are built for high-volume grinding, making it equally suited to daily café service and controlled cupping sessions.
How do I maintain the burrs?
Brush the burrs weekly to clear coffee residue, and check grind settings periodically to confirm accuracy. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth only; avoid harsh chemicals.
Does this coffee cupping grinder heat up during extended use?
The design minimises heat buildup during grinding, which helps protect the coffee’s aromatic and flavour compounds even during long cupping flights.
Can grind settings be fine-tuned for different brew methods?
Yes. The stepless adjustment allows precise, incremental changes rather than fixed click-stops, so you can dial in settings for cupping, filter, or espresso-style brewing.
How should I store the grinder when not in use?
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the burrs, motor, and body construction over the long term.
Built for Anyone Who Cannot Afford an Inconsistent Grind
The Hey Café HC-880 LAB S is for cupping labs, roasteries, and specialty cafés across India that need a coffee cupping grinder delivering the same result every single time, and for home brewers who hold their own cup to that same standard.
