As last week’s Specialty Coffee Expo in Houston gave thousands of coffee professionals a break from their daily grind, dozens of Expo floor booths were devoted to daily grinding.

Brands from around the world showcased new home and commercial coffee grinders, from manual single-dose and craft-focused devices to high-volume commercial workhorses.
Here’s a look at some of the most exciting new grinders for homes, cafes and roasteries that came to the show…
New Commercial/Pro Coffee Grinders
Pinecone GH-B
Swiss grinder maker Pinecone returned to the GH Grinding & Brewing Solutions (GHGBS) booth with the Pinecone GH-B, a budget-conscious “entry level” bulk grinder. The machine features a hinged access panel that swings open for access to key internal components. DCN will have more on this machine soon.

Bentwood H75 and Vertical 75
Another Swiss grinder manufacturer, Bentwood, carved out substantial counter space at the GHGBS booth to show off its recently launched H75 grind-by-weight grinder, as well as a stealthy surprise upcoming release, the Vertical 75. With exactly the same dimensions and outward appearance as its flagship Vertical 63 grinder, the Vertical 75 centers on larger 75-millimeter flat burrs. We’ll have more on this soon.

Ceado Rev Series
The new flagship REV line of commercial espresso grinders by Italian grinder maker Ceado was on full display at the Expo. The series includes three machines called Rev Steel, Rev Titan and Rev Zero, all of which center on flat 83-millimeter steel burrs with various coatings. More on this release can be found here.

Mazzer Mini and Mini G
Italian company Mazzer proudly showcased its lineup of grinders large and small, including the recently revamped Mazzer Mini and its new grind-by-weight counterpart, the Mini G. The brand’s new burr-centric initiative called Mazzer Labs was presented on site, offering comparative tastes of brews differing only by the Mazzer burrs used for grinding. More on the new Mazzer machines can be found here.

The Zerno Z2
Chicago-based Zerno, while continually refining its high-end flagship Z1 single-dose coffee grinder that earned a Best New Product award in 2024, used its booth this year to reveal the Zerno Z2. Slated for release later this year, the Z2 features 80-millimeter burrs, variable RPM, a grinds knocker, a purge feature and more. We’ll have more when the machine launches.

Kinu M68
German manual grinder company Kinu showed off several of its new offerings at the Expo, including its upcoming M47 Traveler grinder and upcoming custom color options. Perhaps its biggest reveal was a new design for the tabletop M68 grinder, one of its founding three models. Evolving from the spherical body that initially set it apart, the M68’s new design embraces the cylindrical look of Kinu’s handheld grinder line while also streamlining manufacturing processes to allow for a lower price and more consistent supply, according to the company.

Compak Fino
The first home grinder by Spanish commercial grinder company Compak called the Fino, unveiled last year made an appearance at the company’s booth in its final form, complete with a new bellows system built into a hinged lid for expelling retained particles after single-dose grinding.

Geimori 2.0
Startup equipment company Wirsh called attention to its redesigned flagship Geimori grinders. Slated for launch this summer, the upcoming Geimori GU78 2.0 is now of lower profile and smaller footprint, will be compatible with SSP and other third-party burrs, and offers better alignment thanks to improvements in manufacturing processes, according to the company. The GU64 2.0 shares the alignment and burr upgrades along with a novel mechanism for recalibrating the zero point in its adjustment system. We’ll have more on this machine as it moves closer to launch.
