Precision, low retention, and cooler running temperatures remained top priorities for makers of commercial coffee grinding equipment in 2024.
At the same time, modularity gained traction throughout the category, promising users greater flexibility and convenience.
For instance, the compact, single-dose Varia VS6 features a single-piece burr and burr carrier design, allowing users to switch seamlessly between flat and conical burrs. Similarly, the Pinecone Siberian introduces a fully modular grind chamber for easy maintenance.
Continuing DCN’s 2024 Year in Review, here’s a look back at these and other exciting developments in new grinding equipment for professional settings in 2024.
