Commercial Kitchen Company stocks commercial espresso grinders from Mazzer, Macap and Bezzera — from compact bench-top units for small cafés through to high-output on-demand and automatic grinders for busy specialty venues. Whether you run a single-origin program, a quick-service venue on one house blend, or a hotel coffee service, the grinder does as much for shot quality as the espresso machine.
Our Brisbane and Gold Coast showrooms display working grinders alongside espresso machines, so you can compare burr type, grind consistency and dosing before you commit. Most bench grinders run on a standard 10A plug.
SilverChef finance is available, and delivery, installation arrangement and operator training can be quoted alongside the equipment. Browse the range below, or call us on 1300 CKC 000.

The grinder does as much for shot quality as the espresso machine — freshly ground coffee, dosed accurately, is the foundation of every espresso. The decisions that matter are burr type, burr size, dosing method, and how the grinder pairs with the machine beside it.
Flat burrs produce a narrower particle range and a brighter, clearer cup — the usual choice for light-roast and specialty espresso programs. Conical burrs spread particle size a little wider for a rounder, sweeter profile, and tend to run cooler and quieter under sustained load. We stock both, and the choice follows your espresso program rather than any ranking between them.
Burr diameter drives grinding speed. Compact bench grinders use burrs around 50mm and suit low-volume bars and back-up duty. High-output café grinders step up to 83mm flat burrs, which clear a dose faster and hold their edge longer between burr changes. Size on your busiest hour, not your daily average — a grinder working flat out through the morning rush heats the coffee and drifts.
Manual doser grinders grind into a chamber the barista dispenses by lever — simple and easy to service. Electronic on-demand grinders grind straight into the portafilter for a programmed time, which is the café standard. Automatic versions add portafilter-activated dosing, so the grinder starts when the handle is seated and stops on its own. Grind-by-weight models use a built-in load cell to dose by weight rather than by time, which removes the drift that creeps in as beans age and keeps doses consistent across operators.
Look for an easily accessible grinding chamber, since burr cleaning is a routine job, and a way to index your grind setting so you can return to a known point after a clean or a burr change. Low retention matters if you switch beans through the day — coffee left in the chute stales and muddies the next shot. Fan cooling helps on grinders that run continuously.
Grind adjustment, portafilter fit and bench clearance all need to suit the espresso machine the grinder sits beside. Check the portafilter holder adjusts to your handle and that there is height clearance under any overhead shelving before ordering. Allow a dedicated outlet as well — bench grinders typically run on a standard 10A plug.
Mazzer covers most of our range, with flat and conical models across manual, electronic and automatic dosing, plus grind-by-weight options. Macap supplies compact bench grinders for low-volume bars. Bezzera grinders pair with Bezzera espresso machines for a matched bench.
Our team has 35 years supplying coffee equipment to cafés, restaurants, hotels and offices across Queensland and Australia. Both Brisbane and Gold Coast showrooms have working grinders and espresso machines for hands-on testing. SilverChef finance is available, and delivery, installation arrangement and operator training can be quoted alongside the equipment.
Flat burrs deliver consistent grind size and bright, clear flavour profiles — preferred for light-roast specialty espresso and modern café programs. Conical burrs produce slightly wider particle distribution and rounder, sweeter flavour — preferred for traditional espresso. Both deliver excellent results. Most specialty cafés choose flat burrs; many traditional Italian-style cafés prefer conical.
Quality commercial grinders start around $1,500 for entry-level café units. Standard specialty café grinders run $2,500-$4,500. High-end gravimetric grinders cost $5,000-$10,000+. Investing in grinder quality typically delivers more flavour improvement than equivalent espresso machine investment — never under-spec the grinder relative to the espresso machine.
Replace burrs after 200-1,000kg of coffee depending on burr size and bean type. Quality 83mm flat burrs last 800-1,000kg. Smaller 64mm burrs need replacement at 200-400kg. Signs of worn burrs: inconsistent grind, slower production, fines build-up, and noticeable flavour degradation. Schedule replacement before quality drops.
Single-hopper grinders serve one bean profile — sufficient for cafés with single house blend (95% of cafés). Multi-hopper grinders dispense from 2-3 different beans — essential for specialty cafés offering rotating single-origin programs alongside house blend. Multi-hopper costs 50-100% more than single-hopper of equivalent quality.
Timed dosing dispenses coffee for a set duration (e.g., 7 seconds) — cheaper, requires daily barista calibration as humidity affects flow rate. Gravimetric (weight-based) dosing measures exact grams to 0.1g accuracy — eliminates barista calibration, improves shot-to-shot consistency, premium specialty café standard.
