Mahlkönig has led global coffee grinding since 1924, when the company was founded in Hamburg, Germany. Now part of the Hemro Group alongside Anfim, Ditting and HeyCafé, Mahlkönig has spent a century engineering the grinders that specialty coffee measures itself against — and no model has done that more than the EK43.
The Mahlkönig EK43 Shop Grinder is the grinder that put Mahlkönig on the map in specialty coffee — a 98mm cast steel burr set built for an exceptionally narrow particle size spread, available in the standard-height EK43 or the shorter, identically-specced EK43S. It's built for shops that grind filter and batch-brew coffee at real volume and need every batch to extract the same way. This is the grinder the rest of the specialty coffee industry still measures particle distribution against.
A 98mm cast steel burr set gives the EK43 an unusually narrow particle size spread, which is exactly why it became the reference point for filter and batch brew grinding across specialty coffee.
Choose the standard EK43 or the shorter EK43S — identical grinding components in a more compact frame — depending on the clearance behind your counter.
Quick, stepless grind settings let you move between filter and batch brew grinds without hunting for a fixed step that isn't quite right.
A 1300W motor drives a grinding capacity of around 25g per second, built for shops moving through high daily volumes of filter and batch brew coffee.
Despite its 98mm burr set, the EK43 keeps a slim chassis and small footprint relative to its throughput — a lot of grinding capacity for the counter space it takes up.
The EK43 takes a ±1,500g hopper, and the EK43S ±800g, both built to withstand continuous daily use in a busy shop.
A robust, high-quality build is what lets the EK43 run for hours of daily batch brewing without the wear that shortens the life of lighter-duty grinders.
You're running a specialty shop that grinds serious volumes of filter or batch brew coffee and needs every batch to taste the same as the last. The EK43 is built for roasters and shops who already know this grinder's reputation and want the particle distribution it's famous for on their own counter. This is the grinder specialty coffee built its filter standards around — and it still holds that standard today.
