Eureka flapper for the Helios 80 – small part, clean counter
The Helios 80 is a grinder built for volume. That makes it all the more noticeable when something at the discharge chute no longer closes tightly: after every dose, some residue stays in the channel, drops out with a delay and lands next to the basket. The flapper is the part that prevents exactly that.
It is a wear part, not a defective part. A new flapper closes softly and completely again – and the counter stays as clean between two doses as you left it.
When it is due
When grounds keep trickling out after grinding. When the flapper is hard, cracked or frayed. When it no longer swings back on its own or sits crooked. And when you have to wipe the same spot on the counter twice a day.

Who it is for
For cafés with a Helios 80 behind the bar, where every move counts. And for everyone who orders the small wear parts along with the annual overhaul.
What goes with it
For the same grinder there is the grounds tray and the plastic front panel. We carry the grinder itself as the Eureka Helios 80. For care, see Machine and grinder cleaning, more parts under Eureka.
From our workshop
For commercial equipment, we always keep a flapper in stock. It costs little, takes two minutes to swap – and a grinder standing still in the middle of the lunch rush costs far more. That is our routine in Bern and Zurich, not a manufacturer's requirement. To dial in afterwards we use Nutty Delight, for chocolatey notes Cozy Chocolate and for body Very Nutty. All roasts under Coffee beans.
No returns
Service parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold after being installed or test-fitted on a machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a short message and we will check the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Does the flapper also fit the Zenith 65?
No, this part is intended for the Helios 80. For the Zenith, we carry the discharge chute including flapper as a separate item.
How do I recognise a worn-out flapper?
It feels hard instead of elastic and stays open for a moment after grinding.
Do I need tools?
Usually what you open for cleaning anyway is enough. Unplug the grinder from the mains before replacing it.
Is it worth keeping a supply?
In a commercial setting, yes. Simply order the number you need – the item is a single part.
Can I see the part in the showroom?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
