La Marzocco Pico Burr Set, Conical 39 mm – Genuine Spare Part
Every bean that runs through the Pico touches these two burrs first. Conically ground, 39 mm in diameter, matched to each other down to a tenth of a millimetre – they are the point where the whole bean becomes the grounds that later land in the portafilter.
After many kilograms of ground coffee, the sharpness of the edges changes. The grounds turn into fine dust instead of uniform particles, extraction becomes less consistent, and the grind size needs constant readjustment to keep 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 creates an even, clump-free grind that water can flow through without channelling. When the edges become dull, more fine dust and more spread 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 the grind size and dose stay the same.

How do I know the burrs should be replaced?
If the grounds increasingly look dusty, the grind size constantly needs readjusting, or extraction becomes less consistent despite the same settings, it's worth taking a look at the burrs.

The Roastery Tip
Freshly ground 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 wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
