This offer ends in:
The BDCG301A processes whole coffee beans into calibrated grind sizes for commercial espresso and filter brewing. It operates at 260W through a 64mm flat burr assembly with 100 indexed adjustment positions. Coffee shops, hotel breakfast services, and office canteens use it for consistent dose preparation during multi-hour service periods.
Commercial Application
This grinder sits upstream of espresso machines and batch brewers in high-volume beverage operations. It addresses the operational requirement for repeatable particle size distribution across shift changes and multiple barista operators. Touchscreen controls allow pre-programmed dose weights to eliminate variance during rush service.
Grinding occurs on-demand during service or in batched preparation for filter brewing cycles. The 2.9 kg unit weight permits counter placement adjacent to espresso group heads without structural reinforcement. Anti-static discharge and clog protection systems reduce mid-service cleaning interruptions.
Key Operational Advantages
- 64mm stainless steel flat burr assembly delivers particle distribution suitable for espresso extraction at 9 bar and filter brewing at 92–96°C
- 100 indexed grind settings span French press coarseness through Turkish powder fineness
- 260W motor drives burr rotation with thermal protection circuitry to prevent burnout during continuous operation
- Touchscreen interface stores dose programs for repeatable weight output across multiple operators
- Anti-static discharge system and anti-splash guard reduce powder retention and counter contamination
- Zero-retention grind chamber design minimises cross-contamination between different bean varieties

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does burr size affect output capacity during service?
A: The 64mm burr diameter processes approximately 3–4 kg of beans per hour at medium-fine espresso settings. Larger burr diameters increase throughput but require more counter space. This capacity suits operations serving 80–120 espresso-based beverages per service period.
Q: What grind setting range covers espresso through to filter brewing?
A: Settings 20–35 typically produce espresso particle distribution for 25–30 second extraction at 9 bar pressure. Settings 50–70 suit pour-over and batch filter methods. Actual positions vary with bean density and roast profile.
Q: How often do commercial flat burrs require replacement?
A: Flat burrs show measurable wear after 500–800 kg of coffee processed, depending on bean hardness and roast darkness. Operators notice extraction time drift and increased fines production as wear indicators. Replacement restores original particle distribution.
Q: Does this grinder require dedicated water filtration?
A: This grinder processes dry beans only and requires no water connection. Paired espresso machines require filtration to protect boiler elements and group head solenoids from scale accumulation. Grinder performance remains independent of water quality.
Q: What warranty coverage applies to commercial use in UK operations?
A: Zodex provides 12-month parts and labour warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failure under normal commercial use. Warranty excludes burr wear, hopper damage, and failures from inadequate cleaning. Extended service contracts available for multi-site operators.
