The Mahlkönig E65S GBW is a premium, hgh grade espresso grinder that sets a new standard in dosing precision and workflow efficiency for modern coffee bars. Built on the immensely respected E65S platform, this version adds Grind-by-Weight (GBW) technology — a ground-breaking innovation that measures coffee by weight in real time rather than relying on traditional timer or volume dosing. This makes it a standout choice for baristas seeking consistency, repeatability, and speed in every shot.
 
Why It’s Exceptional
True Grind-by-Weight Dosing
Unlike standard grinders that dose based on time, the GBW system uses a high-precision load cell to monitor weight as beans are ground and deliver exactly the programmed grams to your portafilter. This removes guesswork and compensates for changes in bean density, humidity, and grind retention — ensuring each dose matches your recipe every time.
 
Advantages over typical on-demand/timed grinders:
Precise weight dosing tailored to espresso recipes
Reduced need for external weighing scales
Better consistency across back-to-back shots
Less variation due to bean or ambient changes
Traditional on-demand grinders can fluctuate because they estimate dose based on motor run time, which doesn’t account for real-world changes in grind behaviour. The E65S GBW eliminates that uncertainty.
 
Core Features That Matter
65 mm flat steel burrs optimised for espresso extraction
Disc Distance Detection (DDD) for precise grind setting recording and recall
Portafilter detection automatically recognises your portafilter and recalls the programmed dose
High-resolution digital display with intuitive controls
Active cooling system for quieter operation and minimal heat transfer
Adjustable illuminated spout for clean, centred dosing into the portafilter
These features combine to make dosing and grind adjustment both faster and more exact than what you’ll typically find on older or simpler grinders.
 
Advantages for Baristas
✔ Speed & Efficiency – Weight-based dosing gets coffee ready in as little as ~4–5 seconds while stopping exactly at your target grams, keeping service moving even during busy periods.
✔ Repeatability – Once dialled in, your recipes stay consistent shot after shot, even if bean characteristics shift.
✔ Workflow Simplification – With automatic portafilter detection and preset recall, baristas spend less time dosing and more time perfecting extraction.
✔ Professional Control – Stepless adjustment and DDD give you fine-grain control over grind settings, so you can tailor extraction for different beans and roasts.
