The Sync System: Connected Espresso Grinding

With cloud-based data exchange between the grinder and the espresso machine, every shot is dialed in to your desired brew time automatically.
Real-Time Auto Adjustment: If a shot runs too fast or slow, the grinder recalibrates the burr spacing to correct extraction time.
Wireless Pairing via Mahlkonig Sync App: Available for iOS, Android and Desktop. Enables recipe syncing, remote control, and statistics tracking.
Multi-Site Control: Define and push recipes to all grinders via the Sync Manager Portal—perfect for franchises and roaster partners.
Predictive Maintenance: View usage logs, maintenance needs, and performance metrics to minimise downtime.
Sustainability Impact: Less waste, faster workflows, and repeatable excellence—sustainably optimised across teams and shifts.
Compatible with commercial La Marzocco ABR or AV machines and built with expansion in mind. The Sync System is currently available in Australia and the USA.
