Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The 20,000 RPM motor is seriously impressive, delivering a fine, consistent powder.
  • Cons: Its 550ml bowl is best suited for daily use, not huge batch production.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Clyde Coffee Co., a bustling speciality coffee shop in Glasgow, was struggling to achieve the grind consistency needed for their high-end espresso machine using a lighter-duty grinder. They needed a more robust solution that could handle a high daily turnover without faltering.

"Since we switched to the Buffalo, our espresso shots have been incredibly consistent. The fine grind it produces has made a noticeable difference to the flavour extraction and  the quality of our crema. It powers through our busiest morning rushes with ease."

Ewan Campbell – Head Barista

The upgrade resulted in a more efficient workflow and  a marked improvement in coffee quality, leading to higher customer satisfaction and  repeat business.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the grinder on a flat, stable, and  non-slip surface before use.
  • Before plugging in, ensure the bowl and  lid are securely locked into the housing – the safety interlock will prevent operation otherwise.
  • Always ensure the machine is switched off before adding or removing ingredients.
  • Run a quick empty cycle for a second to ensure everything is working correctly before the first use.

Keeping It Going

  • Always unplug the unit from the mains before starting any cleaning.
  • Never immerse the motor housing in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth only.
  • The stainless steel bowl can be removed and  washed. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
  • Use a small, dry pastry brush to gently clean any residue from around the blades.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Grinder

Not sure what to look for in a grinder? We've got you covered with a few key pointers to help you find the perfect match for your kitchen.

Motor Power is Key

Look for a high-wattage motor (like this 750W model) if you plan on grinding hard spices like nutmeg or cinnamon sticks. It prevents the motor from straining and  ensures a quick, efficient grind.

Capacity vs. Freshness

Consider your batch sizes. A medium capacity like 550ml is perfect for daily grinding, guaranteeing that your spices and  coffee are always at their freshest and  most potent.

Control Your Texture

A machine with both continuous and  pulse functions offers the best of both worlds. Continuous is for fine powders, while pulse lets you achieve coarser textures for rubs and  filter coffee.

Material Matters

Stainless steel blades and  bowls are the industry standard for a reason. They're durable, easy to clean, and  won't absorb odours or flavours, keeping your different grinds pure.

Don't Overlook Safety

A safety interlock is a non-negotiable feature in a busy commercial environment. It ensures the grinder cannot operate unless it's fully and  correctly assembled, preventing accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this grinder handle very hard spices like star anise or cinnamon sticks?

A: Absolutely. The powerful 750W motor and  durable stainless steel blades are specifically designed to handle tough, dry ingredients with ease.

Q: How fine can the grind get?

A: With a top speed of 20,000 RPM, it can produce a very fine, powder-like consistency suitable for espresso coffee or smooth spice blends.

Q: Is the grinding bowl removable?

A: Yes, the stainless steel bowl is fully removable, which makes it incredibly easy to decant your ingredients and  to clean it thoroughly after use.

Q: Can I grind wet ingredients like garlic or ginger?

A: No, this unit is a dry grinder. Using it for wet or oily ingredients can damage the motor and  is not recommended. It's designed for coffee beans, dry spices, nuts, and  grains.

Q: Is it noisy during operation?

A: Like any high-powered commercial appliance, it produces a notable level of noise during operation. This is normal and  a sign of its strong motor at work.

Q: What is the 'continuous on' feature for?

A: This allows you to grind a larger batch of ingredients without having to continuously hold down the 'on' button, freeing you up for other tasks for a moment.

Q: How should I clean the blades?

A: For safety, always unplug the machine first. The best way to clean the blades and  the inside of the bowl is with a small, stiff, dry brush (like a pastry brush) to remove any powder residue.

Q: Can I grind oily nuts like peanuts?

A: Yes, you can. It's best to use the pulse function in short bursts to prevent the nuts from releasing too much oil and  turning into a paste.

Master Your Grind: The Power of the Pulse Function

Ever wonder what the 'pulse' button is really for? Think of it like tapping the accelerator in your car rather than flooring it. While the 'continuous on' setting is great for turning beans into a fine powder for espresso, the pulse function on this electric spice and  coffee grinder from Buffalo gives you ultimate control for everything else. By using short, controlled bursts of power, you can carefully break down ingredients without over-processing them. This is perfect for achieving a coarser grind for a cafetière, cracking open peppercorns for a steak rub, or roughly chopping nuts for a garnish. It’s the secret to getting the perfect texture, every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Coffee Shops: Perfect for grinding single-origin beans to order, ensuring the freshest possible espresso for your customers.
  • Indian & Thai Restaurants: Essential for creating vibrant, authentic curry pastes and  spice blends from scratch daily.
