Mahlkonig E80W GbS

The Mahlkonig E80W GbS is the higher-capacity sibling of the E65W GbS, using 80mm flat steel burrs instead of 65mm. The larger burr set grinds faster and processes higher volumes before heat becomes a factor, which makes the E80W grinder the pick for bars with sustained high throughput rather than moderate steady service.

Like the E65W, the Mahlkonig E80W GbS weighs every dose as it grinds and connects to the Mahlkonig Sync ecosystem. The dosing precision and workflow integration are the same across both platforms. What changes is capacity: the larger burrs handle heavier duty cycles and longer peak rushes without slowing down or warming the grounds.

Grinder-to-Tamper Integration

The E80W GbS is the platform that pairs with the PUQpress M5, PUQpress's integrated tamper mount designed specifically for the E80 body. For bars building a grind-to-tamp workflow with minimal manual steps, that pairing keeps the entire path automated from bean to puck.

If your volume fits the E65 platform and you do not need the larger burrs, the Mahlkonig E65W GbS delivers the same dosing and Sync features at a lower price point. The full range is on the Mahlkonig grinders collection page.

Features and Benefits

The Grind-by-Sync functionality of the E80W GbS allows the grinder to be connected to a compatible espresso machine from La Marzocco or Sanremo. Grind-by-Sync works by connecting the grinder to the espresso machine via Wifi or a wired cable and programming your desired recipe. Recipes in the E80W GbS contain your desired coffee dose by weight, your desired burr position, and your extraction time. Shot time is communicated to the grinder from the machine and burr position is adjusted automatically as needed if the reported shot time is too fast or too slow. The grinder will course correct throughout the day, leaving baristas free to focus on other tasks while espresso remains consistent.

Mahlkonig's Disc Distance Detection or DDD system is an automated burr positioning system that digitally tracks burr position and makes adjustments via a sensor controlled motor. Grind adjustment is accurate within 0.001mm and is tracked onscreen as μm.

When utilizing Grind-by-Sync, the burrs will adjust themselves automatically based on extraction data received from the machine. Even without the Sync System, DDD is incredibly useful for calibrating multiple grinders for the same coffee and simple zero-point calibration with a dedicated menu option to zero burrs as needed, such as when installing new burrs or after a deep clean of the grinder.

Weight based grinding allows you to program multiple doses by weight within 1/10th of a gram with dispensing accurate within 1/10th of a gram. Unique to Mahlkonig is their portafilter detection feature which, when selected, will automatically select and grind a dose based on the portafilter inserted. In cases where multiple portafilters are used by baristas, this eliminates the need to select a specific dose when changing portafilters based on different drink recipes as necessitated by a workflow.

Coffee is ground by a set of 80mm flat steel burrs and a massive 850 W motor with an idle rpm of 1,700. The E80W GbS is able to achieve incredible speeds of up to 7-8g/sec at 250μm. Programming and menu navigation are made simple by the vivid touchscreen display, buttons and rotary encoder knob.

Why You Should Get It

The E80W GbS is extremely powerful and precise. From the accuracy of weight based grinding with portafilter recognition to the micron level precision of Disc Distance Detection, this grinder just won't quit when it comes to maintaining consistency in even the most strenuous conditions. The 80mm burrs and 7-8g/s speed mean that this grinder will keep pace in all environments regardless of demand or volume, especially when synced with a compatible espresso machine to self-adjust grind size as needed.
