Company
Founded in 2017, Swiss brand Bentwood builds precision espresso and filter grinders around one idea: burr geometry that genuinely changes what’s in the cup. Designed in Germany, produced in Switzerland and Italy, Bentwood is the official grinder of several major barista and brewers cup competitions.
Vertical 63 (VW63)
The Product
Bentwood’s signature grinder, built around vertically-oriented 63mm special steel flat burrs — a geometry independent testing has shown extracts noticeably greater body and complexity than horizontally-mounted burrs of similar size, across both espresso and filter brewing. Stepless grind adjustment shows particle size directly as you turn the dial, and a double ventilation system keeps grinding temperature — and therefore flavour — under control.
Retention — independently tested at 0.1–0.4g depending on coffee and roast level, helped by the vertical burr orientation and a removable spout.
Competition use — used in the 2023 US Coffee Championships.
Who It’s Built For
Cafés and serious home baristas who brew both espresso and filter on the same grinder and want one burr set that does both well.
