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 MDJ Grinder is a professional on-demand grinder built around 75mm stainless steel burrs and Nuova Simonelli's latest silent grinding technology, giving you commercial-scale grind speed without the noise that usually comes with it. An LCD multi-function display and programmable dosing make it straightforward to run across a busy shift. This is high-output grinding, engineered to be heard less and felt more in your workflow.
75mm Stainless Steel Burrs (High-Volume Longevity)
Rated to grind up to 680kg of coffee before replacement, the MDJ's 75mm burr set is built for large to medium-sized coffee shops that need sustained daily output.
Micrometric Grind Adjustment (Precision at Every Point)
Adjust grind size in small, precise increments at any point during grinding — not just between batches.
LCD Multi-Function Display (Fast, Clear Control)
Adjust dose, switch between barista modes, or lock settings so they can't be changed mid-shift — all from one display.
LED Illuminated Workspace (Visibility in Low Light)
An LED above the spout lights up the grounds as they land, so you can see exactly what's happening even in a dim bar.
Portafilter Holder (Multitask While Grinding)
Holds your portafilter in place during dosing, freeing you up to run other equipment in the meantime.
1.6kg Transparent Bean Hopper (Fewer Refills)
A large, see-through hopper means less time spent topping up beans during service.
Die-Cast Aluminium Body (Built to Last)
A hardened aluminium body with sound insulation is designed to handle continuous, high-volume commercial use.
Who It's Built For
The MDJ is built for you if you're running a large or medium-sized coffee shop that needs fast, high-volume grinding without disrupting the rest of the room with noise. It suits busy bars where speed, precision and quiet operation all matter at once. Fast, quiet, built for volume — this is the grinder for shops that never really slow down.
