Frequently asked questions
Does the capacitor fit every EK43?
Mahlkönig lists 703772 for EK43, EK43 S, EKK43, Guatemala and K32 with 220–240 V and gives no serial number limit. Some dealers describe it as a part for older EK43 versions. Send us the model and serial number at [email protected] and we will check.
Do I need a professional for the installation?
Yes. Electrical components are best installed by a qualified professional. Disconnect the grinder from the mains before any work.
Can I see the part before buying?
You can see Mahlkönig grinders live in our showroom in Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). Whether the spare part is on site, we are happy to confirm by email in advance at [email protected].
Tip from the roastery: A new capacitor gets the grinder running again. The bean decides the taste in the cup. 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.
