The Mazzer Kony SG is a commercial-grade espresso grinder that brings precise grind-by-weight technology to the renowned Kony platform. Designed to streamline workflow in medium to high-volume coffee shops, it automates the dosing process to ensure every shot is based on exact weight rather than inconsistent timing .

Precision and Workflow

At the core of the Kony SG is a highly accurate, professional-grade load cell (built-in scale) that measures the coffee dose to 1/100th of a gram . This system automatically stops the grinder once the set weight is achieved, eliminating the need for constant adjustments and reducing coffee waste throughout the day . It features three programmable dose settings (by weight or time) and a manual mode, all controlled via a user-friendly 2.4" color TFT display . A notable workflow feature is the auto-pause function; if the portafilter is removed mid-cycle, the grinder stops and resumes only when it is replaced, allowing baristas to settle the grounds before continuing .

Grinding Performance

The grinder is powered by a low-RPM, high-torque asynchronous motor that turns its Italian-made conical burrs. It is important to note that there are two versions of this grinder:

• Kony SG (Standard): Fitted with 63mm conical burrs, it operates quietly at 420-500 RPM and has a grind speed of approximately 3.8 grams per second, grinding a double shot in about 4-5 seconds .

• Kony g (Evolution): A newer, faster evolution of the model (the Kony g) features 69mm conical burrs and an innovative pre-breaker system, which doubles the grind speed to between 5.0 and 6.5 grams per second .

The low-RPM operation, combined with a double fan cooling system, minimizes heat transfer to the coffee beans, preserving their aroma and ensuring consistent grind quality even during peak hours .
