La Marzocco Swan Coffee Grinder – Espresso Grinder with Anti-Static and Revolution-Based Dosing
You hold the portafilter to the fork, the grinder recognizes it and starts – no button, no lever. The grounds fall loosely and dry into the basket, without the static clumps that usually stick to the wall and dust over the counter. The Swan works quietly, at a constant speed, and delivers the same grind profile shot after shot.
The La Marzocco Swan is an espresso grinder from La Marzocco – built for those who see their grinder as an integral part of their setup, not just an accessory. At Coffee Coaching Club, we are both La Marzocco partners and a coffee roastery.
What Makes the Swan Special
Patented Anti-Static Technology
Static charge is the invisible disruptor in grinding: grounds stick to the spout, dust, and distribute unevenly in the basket. The Swan guides the coffee grounds so they fall loosely and evenly into the portafilter – the basis for even extraction without channeling.
Constant Motor Speed
The motor speed remains stable throughout the grinding process, even when the load changes. This keeps the grind profile consistent and ensures that the taste is repeatable shot after shot.
Revolution-Based Dosing
The Swan doses by the revolutions of the burrs – a precise measurement that helps you reliably hit your dose, cup after cup.
Stable Grinding with Low Heat
Less heat input during grinding means that the bean's volatile aroma compounds are preserved. Coffee has over 800 of these – and the fewer that are lost in the grinder, the more end up in your cup.
Portafilter Recognition Without Buttons
The grinder recognizes the inserted portafilter and starts automatically – no button press, no free hand needed. A smooth, direct workflow.

Who the Swan is For
The Swan is for anyone looking for a grinder with a smooth, direct workflow and who values consistent results – at home with a La Marzocco machine, as well as behind the counter. Nobody strictly needs it; there are very good grinders for less money. Those who choose the Swan want the La Marzocco build and the interplay of anti-static and portafilter recognition. Those who want that know why.
What Goes With It
The Swan shows its strength with a stable machine – such as the La Marzocco Linea Mini R or the GS3 from our La Marzocco Collection. Extraction by weight ratio (1:2 as a starting point) delivers the most reliable results – combined with a scale from Normcore or with an app and flow-rate display from Acaia. For regular cleaning of the burrs, Urnex Grindz from our Cleaning Collection.
Ordering, Delivery, and Consultation
You can order the Swan directly online or pick it up at the showroom in Bern or Zurich. Financing via Heylight is possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Swan's dosing work?
The Swan doses by the revolutions of the burrs. This can be programmed so you reliably repeat your dose.
What does the anti-static technology do?
It reduces the static charge of the grounds, so less coffee sticks to the spout or dusts, and the grounds land more evenly in the portafilter.
Does the Swan fit my machine?
The Swan works with common portafilters. We're happy to clarify which combination suits your setup during a consultation – in Bern, Zurich, or via email.
Can I see the Swan live before buying?
That depends on whether the Swan is on display right now. Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the Swan is currently there.
Roastery Tip
A grinder that introduces little heat rewards dense, aromatic roasts. Our Cozy Chocolate comes to the cup with full chocolate and round sweetness. For nutty depth with milk, try Nutty Delight, for maximum body without acidity, Very Nutty. And for those who like to experiment, the bright Wild Peach offers a lively, fruity cup. This is our recommendation, one of many.
