4 brands and 1 company. Is there a difference between their grinders?

However, the same intent and collaborative development does not necessarily mean the same product. Even though they pull on one rope called Hemro Group, each of the brands hasits own distinctive style. With any member brand's grinder, however, you can be sure that it grinds coffee with absolute precision.

Hemro Group: the Mahlkönig brand

Hemro Group: the Ditting brand

• Plant: Bachenbülach, Switzerland
• Personality: the most durable grinders for large batches of coffee to be ground; for roasters, coffee shops, coffee shops with coffee sales, coffee-lab and cupping room projects
• Flagship: 807 - this is a Ditting legend, similar to the aforementioned éclair at Mahlkönig. The purpose of the grinder differs, thus its sophisticated features such as the size and geometry of the grinding stones = different preference of coffee flavour profile.

Hemro Group: the Anfim brand

• Plant: Milano, Italy
• Personality: espresso grinders by any standard; still with the spirit of Italian coffee culture, but now for cafés with a modern approach to coffee
• Flagship: Luna - so with this grinder it is all about the promise of the future of the Anfim brand. According to LenaFrick (Head of Marketing, Hemro Group), it is the first swallow that builds on Italian craftsmanship and precision steel grinding stones from a German factory. Yes, we have a lot to look forward to at Anfim this year (and not only).

Hemro Group: HeyCafé brand

• Race: Shanghai, China
• Personality: coffee grinders for the Asian as well as the global market; they maintain a great price/quality ratio, while trying to customize production according to specific customer needs
• Flagship: the HC-880 - it's a grinder with clean and clear grind settings, great durability, with grinding stones from an experienced brother in Germany. It is robust but very compact.

Not even the best grinder in the world makes good coffee without sharp stones

The grinding stones will needto be replaced over time due to natural wear and tear . In general, the frequency of grinding stone replacement depends on a number of factors, including the volume of coffee ground, the type of coffee ground and the type of grinder used.

Espresso grinders wear out the stones faster than filter grinders. Using lighter roast coffee - higher bean density puts more pressure on the stones - also results in earlier wear.

When is it time to replace the stones in a professional grinder?

Because of the many influencing factors, it is clear that the life of grinding stones is individual. On average, for example, the grinding stones of a Mahlkönig EK43 grinder are considered to die when 6500 kg of coffee has been ground. For the 65 mm grinding stones of the Anfim Pratica, this will be necessary after 500 kg. Both the size and the finish (e.g. titanium coating) play a role.

It is ideal to pay attention to these signals, announcing the wear of the grinding stones:

• inaccurate dosing of ground coffee
• the formation of clumps and uneven coffee dispensing
• higher demand on the grinder motor = warming up of the grinder = warming up of the coffee = loss of flavour
• inferior to insufficient fineness of the espresso grind
• visually visible wear and dullness of the grinding stones

Replace my stones! Smart modern coffee grinders

One of the advantages of thenew models of coffee grinders is that they can tell themselves when the grinding stones have worn out. A non-digital grinder won't communicate with you in this way, so when you regularly clean your grinder and maintain it - you certainly don't forget to do that, do you? - check the condition of the stones and replace them if necessary. And don't be afraid to email store@greenplantation.com for help in replacing or ordering the correct grinding stones.
