Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Steam Pot" in York, a bustling city-centre café, needed to upgrade from an ageing, noisy doser grinder that was causing bottlenecks during their morning rush and  producing inconsistent shots.

"The quietness was the first thing we noticed. Our customers can actually have a conversation while standing at the counter now! The automatic dosing is flawless; every coffee is now based on a perfectly consistent foundation, and  our workflow is so much smoother."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Steam Pot

The new grinder helped them serve customers faster, contributing to a 20% increase in coffee sales during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the grinder on a solid, level counter to prevent vibration.
  • Before first use, run a small amount of beans through to season the burrs.
  • Use the simple LCD screen to program your desired single and  double shot doses.
  • Calibrate your grind fineness using the adjustment nut – start coarse and  go finer until you get the perfect extraction time.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, brush out any loose grounds from the chute and  burrs.
  • Empty the hopper and  run grinder cleaning crystals through weekly to remove oil build-up.
  • Wipe down the white exterior and  tamper with a damp, soft cloth to keep it looking pristine.
  • Never use water to clean the grinding discs; always use a stiff, dry brush.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Coffee Grinder

Not sure which grinder is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider.

On-Demand vs. Doser

On-demand grinders (like this one) grind fresh for every single shot, reducing waste and  maximising flavour. Doser grinders pre-grind into a chamber, which is faster for back-to-back shots but can lead to stale coffee if not used quickly.

Burr Type and  Size

Flat steel burrs, like the large 63.5mm ones here, are the industry standard for espresso. They provide a highly consistent grind size, which is crucial for a balanced and  delicious extraction.

Noise Level

If your grinder will be in your customer area, noise matters. A model under 70dB is considered quiet. At 63dB, this Santos is exceptionally quiet and  won't disturb the ambience of your space.

Speed and  Output

Consider your busiest periods. A grinder that can produce a dose in a second or two and  handle over 20kg of beans an hour is built for a demanding, high-volume professional environment.

Ease of Cleaning

Coffee oils build up and  can spoil the taste of your beans. Look for a grinder with easy access to the burrs and  a simple design that makes daily and  weekly cleaning routines quick and  painless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How easy is it to adjust the grind size?

A: It's very straightforward. The Santos 59TWA features an ergonomic grinding adjustment nut designed for a good grip, allowing for precise, micrometric changes to the fineness of your grind.

Q: What does 'on-demand' mean?

A: It means the grinder grinds a fresh dose of coffee beans directly into your portafilter each time you need one, rather than storing grounds in a chamber. This ensures maximum freshness for every cup.

Q: Is the included tamper good enough for professional use?

A: Yes, it's a solid, well-made tamper designed for a busy workflow. It is compatible with the most common professional portafilter sizes (53mm, 55mm, and  57mm).

Q: How loud is this grinder in a quiet cafe?

A: With a noise level of just 63dB, it's exceptionally quiet for a commercial grinder. It produces a low hum rather than a disruptive roar, making it perfect for front-of-house placement.

Q: Can I use this for grinding different types of coffee, like decaf?

A: Yes, but as it has a single hopper, it is designed to be used with one type of bean at a time. Many cafes use a dedicated second grinder for their decaf or guest espresso to avoid cross-contamination.

Q: What kind of power socket does it need?

A: It runs on a standard UK 13-amp plug, so you can plug it into any regular wall socket without needing special electrical work.

Q: How do I clean the grinding burrs?

A: For daily cleaning, use a stiff brush to remove loose grounds. For a deeper clean, it's recommended to run grinder-specific cleaning crystals (like Puly Grind) through the machine weekly to absorb oils.

Q: Is this automatic coffee grinder with tamper suitable for a mobile coffee van?

A: Absolutely. Its sturdy build, compact footprint, and  standard plug make it a great, reliable choice for a mobile setup, provided you have a stable power source.
