La Marzocco Pico Burr Set, Conical 39 mm – Original Spare Part
Every bean that passes through the Pico touches these two discs first. Conically ground, 39 mm in diameter, matched to each other down to a tenth of a millimetre – they're the point where the whole bean becomes the grounds that later end up in the basket.
After many kilograms of ground coffee, the sharpness of the edges changes. The grounds turn into fine dust instead of even particles, extraction becomes less consistent, and the grind size needs constant readjusting just to stay at the same result. A new burr set brings the cutting edges back to factory level.
Why the sharpness of the edges decides the whole shot
Conical burrs cut the bean instead of tearing it apart – with sharp edges, this produces an even, clump-free grind that water can flow through without channeling. When the edges go dull, more fines and more variation in particle size appear at the same time – two effects that show up in the espresso as a less consistent, less predictable extraction, even if grind size and dose stay the same.

Who It's For
For anyone with a Pico whose grounds are looking increasingly dusty, or whose espresso extracts less consistently than before despite unchanged settings. Changing the burrs means working inside the grinder – if you're unsure, we're happy to take care of it in our service.
Goes Well With
You'll find the grinder itself directly in our Coffee Grinders collection, where you'll also find the La Marzocco Pico. Our coffee scales are a good match for precise dosing – compact and reliable with Normcore, or with app connectivity and flow-rate display with Acaia. You'll find freshly roasted beans for your first shot with new burrs in our coffee beans collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell the burrs need replacing?
If the grounds look increasingly dusty, the grind size needs constant readjusting, or extraction becomes less consistent despite the same settings, it's worth taking a look at the burrs.

Yes, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can see the original spare part in person.
How fast will the burrs reach me?
Delivery takes 2–4 business days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
The Roastery Tip
Freshly sharpened burrs show their potential most clearly with dense, full-bodied beans. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with virtually no acidity: Very Nutty. For anyone who wants to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
