Questions & Answers

What makes the EK43 different from other grinders?

The EK43 features 98mm flat cast steel burrs, exceptional grind uniformity, and stepless adjustment, making it ideal for commercial espresso and filter coffee, as well as Turkish grind.
What is the difference between the Black and White EK43 models?

Both models have identical performance. The only difference is colour: Black is RAL9005, and White is RAL9010 with a fine-textured matte finish. Choose based on your café or roastery aesthetic.
Is the EK43 suitable for Turkish and espresso grinds?

Yes. With fine adjustment and powerful burrs, the EK43 handles everything from Turkish to espresso to filter and beyond.
How often should I clean the EK43 grinding mechanism?

Clean every 2–5 days using grinder cleaning granules. Avoid water or compressed air. Refer to the EK43 manual for burr-safe practices.
Can the EK43 grind non-coffee items?

Yes. With optional burrs and pre-breaker, the EK43 can grind spices, grains, and other dry products. Contact us for custom burr options.
Should I use an alignment tool with the EK43?

While not included with the grinder, we recommend the EK43 alignment tool for professional users. It eliminates burr misalignment by centring the burrs with the motor shaft, ensuring precise concentricity. This leads to more consistent grinding, better cup quality, and increased longevity of internal components.
