Frequently Asked Questions
Does the knob fit my EK43?
Mahlkönig lists part number 701798 for EK43, EK43 S and EKK43 with a serial number before 549819. The serial number is on the rating plate of the grinder. If you are unsure, send us the model and serial number at [email protected].
What is the difference from the newer version?
Mahlkönig lists two adjustment knobs for the EK43: the older version (701798) with a larger inner diameter for serial numbers before 549819 and the newer version (305457) for later units. The serial number of your grinder is what counts. You will find both under Grinder accessories and spare parts.

You can see Mahlkönig grinders live in our showroom in Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). We are happy to check in advance by email at [email protected] whether the spare part is on site.
Tip from the roastery: The knob sets the grind size, the bean does the rest. For espresso we start with a brew ratio of 1:2 by weight and adjust to taste. For most cups we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, round and chocolatey. For maximum body without acidity there is Very Nutty, and if you want to discover something fruity, you will find it in Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
