Mahlkönig E65S – slim 65 mm espresso grinder for the bar
Little space on the counter, a lot going on during service – and the grind still needs to be right: the E65S stands narrow at the bar, runs noticeably quiet, and delivers a repeatable dose at the push of a button. Between two shots, you adjust the grind with one hand, and the setting holds.
It's one of the quietest grinders of its kind and built for continuous café operation at medium volume. As a partner of Mahlkönig, we dial in the E65S to your coffee and support you with the first setup.
What makes the E65S special
65 mm specialty steel
Glass bead-blasted burrs made from hardened specialty steel (64–66 HRC) deliver an even grind profile – the basis for clean extraction at medium throughput.
Icon menu, up to 6 recipes
Operation runs through a clear icon menu and a turn-and-push dial. Up to six grind recipes can be saved and recalled.
Stepless adjustment with lock
The grind size adjusts quickly and steplessly with one hand; an independent lock reliably holds the setting you've found.
Removable, adjustable outlet
The outlet adapts to the portafilter and can be removed for cleaning – the grounds land centred exactly where they should.
Quiet grinding
The sound-insulated housing keeps grinding noise pleasantly low – noticeable throughout the day in front-of-house operation.
Practical details
A robust bean hopper with bag clip and a magnetically held drip tray keep daily use tidy and easy to maintain.
With espresso, there's no "right" or "wrong": grind size, dose and ratio are the variables you use to dial in your own taste. A common starting point is 1:2, roughly 18 g of ground coffee to about 36 g of espresso.

What goes with it
For tighter setups, a compact 250 g bean hopper is available as an accessory; if you're after automatic grind synchronisation with compatible La-Marzocco machines, the E65W Grind-by-Sync is the matching variant – both in our Mahlkönig selection. Discover the matching machine among our espresso machines, and for even tamping it's worth a look at our tampers and tamping solutions. Unsure about the combination? Our machine and grinder advisor can help.
Experience it live in Bern and Zurich
A bar grinder is also decided by noise level, handling and footprint. Come by, and we'll show you the E65S in operation and set it up together with you.
Roastery tip
At the bar, an espresso that stays chocolatey and round carries well – neat as much as with milk. We recommend Cozy Chocolate, Nutty Delight and Very Nutty. If you're after a fruitier cup, discover with Wild Peach or Bright Cassis a brighter side. Discover all the beans in our coffee beans selection. That's our recommendation, one of many.
