Mahlkonig's E65T GbS is an affordable option for anyone looking for an efficient and reliable espresso grinder that can self-correct to ensure consistent extractions throughout the day. Mahlkonig's Sync System makes use of electronically controlled burr movement and positioning along with a connection to your La Marzocco or Sanremo espresso machine to automatically adjust the burrs as needed when shots pull too fast or too slow. 

The following machines are compatible with Grind-by-Sync:

La Marzocco

Strada S, KB90, Linea PB, Linea PB X, Linea Classic S, GB5 S, or GB5 X in AV or ABR configurations

Sanremo

Café Racer, F18 Multiboiler, F18 SB, D8 PRO, or D8 standard

Features and Benefits

The Grind-by-Sync functionality of the E65T GbS allows the grinder to be connected to a compatible espresso machine from La Marzocco or Sanremo. Grind-by-Sync works by connecting the grinder to the espresso machine via Wifi or a wired cable and programming your desired recipe. Recipes in the E65T GbS contain your grinding time, your desired burr position, and your extraction time. Shot time is communicated to the grinder from the machine and burr position is adjusted automatically as needed if the reported shot time is too fast or too slow. The grinder will course correct throughout the day, leaving baristas free to focus on other tasks while espresso remains consistent.

Mahlkonig's Disc Distance Detection or DDD system is an automated burr positioning system that digitally tracks burr position and makes adjustments via a sensor controlled motor. Grind adjustment is accurate within 0.001mm and is tracked onscreen as μm.

When utilizing Grind-by-Sync, the burrs will adjust themselves automatically based on extraction data received from the machine. Even without the Sync System, DDD is incredibly useful for calibrating multiple grinders for the same coffee and simple zero-point calibration with a dedicated menu option to zero burrs as needed, such as when installing new burrs or after a deep clean of the grinder.

As a traditional time-based grinder, coffee dosing is programmed by time within 1/10th of a second increments. Coffee is ground by a set of 65mm flat steel burrs and a powerful 580 W motor with an idle rpm of 1,700. The E65T GbS is able to achieve impressive grinding speeds of up to 5-6g/sec at 250μm. Programming and menu navigation are made simple by the vivid touchscreen display, buttons and rotary encoder knob.
