Markibar calls the IZAGA the flagship of its grinders; the company is based in Esquíroz (Navarra, Spain).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant Dose: pre-ground, without waiting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic doser grinders are fast, but they store the ground coffee in the doser. On Demand grinders grind fresh, but you wait for every dose. Markibar combines both in the Instant Dose system: the doser keeps the next dose ready and automatically grinds again after each dispensing. The dose arrives in the portafilter compact and without excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it gets quieter, you switch to On Demand directly on the control panel. Then the grinder only grinds when you request the dose, and nothing waits in the doser. Freshly ground coffee releases its volatile aromas quickly; coffee contains more than 800 compounds, and many of them we only perceive retronasally, when they rise to the olfactory mucosa while swallowing. Which mode fits is decided by your daily rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTimed dosing, grinding mechanism and grind setting lock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IZAGA KEY doses via an electronic timer in seconds; you programme the single and double dose separately. From the factory, 1.8 s is set for the single and 3.1 s for the double dose. How many grams that turns into depends on grind setting and bean. That is why it is worth weighing once after a grind setting change and extracting by weight ratio, with 1:2 as a starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrinding is done with 64 mm flat burrs at 1,350 rpm (50 Hz). HQ Long Life burrs are fitted from the factory, rated for around 1,500 kg of coffee; optionally there are the Extreme Helfezi burrs with TDC coating for around 5,000 kg. Motor and grinding chamber are thermally separated, and a fan removes heat. With a button you release the grind setting only in the chosen direction; without a button press the lever is locked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed shapes the character too: higher speed tends towards more body, lower speed protects delicate compounds. Grinding mechanisms are like engines, and there is no objectively best one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDosing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etime-controlled, Instant Dose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProgrammable doses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle and double dose separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFactory setting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8 s (single dose), 3.1 s (double dose)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDose range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle dose 5–18 g, double dose 5–28 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOperating modes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre Dose, On Demand, Quick change\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePortafilter recognition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eautomatic, via identifier on the double portafilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBurrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 mm, flat; HQ Long Life (rated for approx. 1,500 kg) or Extreme Helfezi TDC (approx. 5,000 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,350 rpm (50 Hz), 1,620 rpm (60 Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrinding capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 g\/s, 8 kg\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrind setting adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLever with scale, bidirectional lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCooling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor and grinding chamber thermally separated, fan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBean hopper\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControls\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlphanumeric display with membrane keypad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTamper\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eavailable with or without a fixed-mounted tamper; Ø 57 mm fitted from the factory, Ø 53 mm included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e525 W, 220–240 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDuty cycle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34% on, 66% off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e640 × 180 × 352 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite, grey, black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarkibar Innovación S.L., Esquíroz (Navarra), Spain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the IZAGA KEY is made for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IZAGA KEY is built for cafés, bars and restaurants that serve a lot of espresso in a short time; Markibar recommends the IZAGA family from around 10 kg of coffee per week.
