La Marzocco Jay Commercial Espresso Grinder
About the Brand
La Marzocco was founded in 1927 in Florence by brothers Giuseppe and Bruno Bambi, who patented the first espresso machine with a horizontal boiler in 1939 — a design principle the whole industry still builds on. Nearly a century later, the Florentine lion on every machine stands for the same thing: uncompromising engineering married to genuine craftsmanship. La Marzocco remains one of the most trusted names behind the world's best coffee bars.
The Product
The La Marzocco Jay Commercial Espresso Grinder is built to simplify espresso service without compromising on precision, pairing 68mm flat burrs designed in-house with a stepless grind adjustment and a compact commercial footprint. Smart connectivity brings optional grind-by-weight dosing into reach when paired with a compatible scale. This is La Marzocco reimagining the grinder with the same rigour it's long applied to the machine.
Key Features
68mm Flat Burrs, Designed In-House (Sweeter, More Balanced Cups)
An uninterrupted cutting surface and increased grinding area improve consistency, enhance sweetness and balance body in the cup.
Stepless Grind Adjustment (Fine-Tuned Control)
Dial your espresso in exactly to preference with fine-tuned, stepless adjustment rather than fixed increments.
45° Angled Grinding Chamber (Minimal Retention, Less Waste)
An angled chamber reduces retention to minimal levels, so dosing stays accurate and less coffee goes to waste.
Magnetic Burr Carrier (Seconds to Open and Clean)
Open the burr chamber in seconds for daily cleaning and maintenance that doesn't eat into your service time.
Smart Connectivity and Grind-By-Weight Ready (Precision Dosing)
Connect via the La Marzocco app to unlock advanced functionality, including optional grind-by-weight dosing when paired with a compatible scale.
Auto-Close Hopper (No Spills When Refilling)
The hopper closes automatically when removed, preventing spilled beans during refills.
Portafilter-Activated Grinding (Seamless Workflow)
Grinding starts automatically with the portafilter in place, keeping your hands free for the next step in service.
