La Marzocco Pico Burr Set, Conical 39 mm – Original Spare Part

La Marzocco Pico Conical Burr Set, 39 mm – Original Spare Part

Every bean that passes through the Pico touches these two burrs first. Conically ground, 39 mm in diameter, matched to within a tenth of a millimetre – this is the point where the whole bean becomes the grounds that later sit 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 setting needs constant readjusting just to stay at the same result. A new burr set brings the cutting edges back to factory level.

Why sharp edges decide the whole shot

Conical burrs cut the bean rather than tearing it apart – with sharp edges this creates an even, clump-free grind that water can flow through without channelling. Once the edges dull, more fines and a wider 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 when grind setting 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.

Freshly roasted beans for the first shot with new burrs are waiting in our coffee beans collection.
