A commercial coffee grinder grinds beans to order at the bar, and the grind setting is what a barista adjusts through the day to keep the coffee tasting the same. A commercial coffee grinder machine holds a consistent particle size dose after dose, and one that has drifted off its setting will pull inconsistent shots on any espresso machine.

See the grinders alongside our commercial coffee machines and the wider commercial coffee equipment range, delivered anywhere in Australia. Most cafes run one grinder per blend plus one for decaf, so you can start with the blends you pour now and add more as your business grows.

We can arrange installation, and Silverchef Rent-Try-Buy applies to coffee equipment, so you can rent the grinder now and buy it out later, with the option to upgrade or hand equipment back as things change.

These are the top FAQs for Commercial Coffee Grinders

What are commercial coffee grinders also called?

A lot of things, and they all describe the same machine. You will see industrial coffee grinder machine, professional coffee grinder machine, professional coffee bean grinder, commercial coffee bean grinder machine, industrial coffee bean grinder, commercial bean grinder, and a coffee grinder for commercial use.

Older listings use milling language: commercial coffee mill, industrial coffee mill, coffee bean mill and industrial coffee milling machine. A search for coffee grinder machine commercial will turn up the same products. Compare them on burr type, burr size and output rather than on the name.

Flat or conical burrs?

Both are used in commercial grinders. Conical burrs generally run cooler at lower speeds, flat burrs are favoured where particle uniformity matters most. The size and condition of the burrs matters more than the shape.

Burr specifications are on each product page; see the specifications reference for how we publish them.

On-demand or doser grinder?

On-demand grinds straight into the basket for each shot, which keeps the coffee fresh and is the standard for cafes. A doser holds pre-ground coffee for speed and suits very high-volume service where throughput beats freshness.

Most Australian cafes run on-demand. Pair it with a coffee tamper and a knock bin.

How many grinders does a cafe need?

One per blend, plus one for decaf. Swapping beans in a single grinder means purging and re-dialling every time, which wastes coffee and slows the bar.

A second grinder is usually a better spend than a bigger machine; compare the 2 group and 3 group options.

When do burrs need replacing?

When the grind will no longer hold a setting and the shots start running inconsistently at the same dose. Burrs wear gradually, so the symptom is drift rather than failure.

Replacement burrs go through our spare parts request form, and servicing through the service request form.

Does the grinder need to be recalibrated during the day?

Yes, as humidity and bean temperature move. Checking the dose and the shot time at the start of each shift and after any long gap is standard practice.

A set of kitchen scales on the bench makes that a measurement rather than a guess.

Can one grinder serve both espresso and plunger coffee?

Only if it adjusts across that range, and you accept re-dialling each time. Venues doing both usually keep a second grinder on a coarse setting.

See stainless steel coffee plungers and commercial coffee percolators for the brewing side.

What goes on the bench with the grinder?

A knock bin, a tamper, milk jugs and a rinser, laid out so the barista does not turn around.

See coffee knock bins, coffee tampers, milk frothing jugs and commercial jug rinsers.
