About Nuova Simonelli
Nuova Simonelli has been building espresso equipment in Belforte del Chienti, Italy, since 1936, and today sits within the Simonelli Group alongside Victoria Arduino. The brand built its name on blending Italian craftsmanship with genuine engineering innovation — from heat-exchange systems to T3 thermal stability — and backs that reputation by sponsoring the World Barista Championship. It's trusted by cafés and coffee professionals across South Africa and globally.
The Product
The Nuova Simonelli GX Grinder is a professional on-demand grinder built for high-volume coffee environments, sold here in its GX85 fixed-speed configuration with 85mm flat burrs and Nuova Simonelli's ClimaPro 2.0 temperature control. It's built for restaurants, hotels and busy café bars that need a steady, repeatable hourly output rather than a burst-and-recover grinder. This is grinding engineered for volume, without giving up consistency along the way.
85mm Flat Burrs (High-Volume Consistency)
Large 85mm burrs are built for café and restaurant throughput, holding grind consistency even through sustained back-to-back service.
ClimaPro 2.0 Temperature Control (Stable Flavour)
ClimaPro 2.0 keeps the grinding chamber temperature stable through heavy use, protecting the aroma and flavour compounds that heat can strip out of freshly ground coffee.
Fixed-Speed Motor (Reliable Hourly Output)
The GX85's fixed-speed motor is built for a steady, predictable production rate — a straightforward, dependable option for kitchens that need consistent volume without settings to manage.
Propeller-Assisted Burr Feed (Consistent Pressure)
A propeller positioned above the burrs maintains constant coffee pressure into the grind chamber, which is what keeps output consistent shot after shot.
Touchscreen Interface (Simple Operation)
An intuitive touchscreen keeps day-to-day operation straightforward for any barista on shift, without a manual to walk through.
Compact Commercial Footprint (Fits Busy Bars)
At 202 × 416 × 518mm, the GX85 is built to fit into busy service bars without eating into your workspace.
Who It's Built For
The GX85 is built for you if you're running a restaurant, hotel or café bar that needs steady, high-volume grinding without shot-to-shot drift. It suits kitchens that want a straightforward, fixed-speed workhorse rather than a grinder with settings to manage mid-service. Built for volume, tuned for consistency — this is the grinder for bars that don't slow down.
