Owning the Mazzer Royal Espresso Grinder
The Mazzer Royal is a stepless, doser grinder with manual timed grinding functionality. It’s a big step up from the Super Jolly in terms of performance and capacities, though it operates similarly. Its 900 watt motor spins at a rate of 1050 RPM with a whopping 1 horsepower. The extra large hopper can hold four whole pounds of coffee, and the timer dial operation can grind in up to sixty second increments for continual use. The grounds are deposited into a large doser, which can be adjusted to dispense anywhere from 5.5 to 9 grams into your portafilter with a flick of the dosing lever. The doser can dispense up to twelve pre-portioned amounts before needing to be refilled, which it can do automatically, and those grinds can then be easily tamped with the doser’s built-in tamper. Both the doser and its built-in tamper are designed with high-speed scenarios in mind, where you want to be able to quickly grind and tamp for several drinks in a row. We may never be royals, but this grinder sure is; and it would really shine in a high-volume cafe.
The Mazzer Royal’s gigantic 83mm stainless steel burrs are stepless, meaning they can be adjusted to a virtually infinite degree by turning the collar in small amounts. Although the Royal is capable of producing coarse or fine grinds, in a cafe environment it’s simply impractical. It’s best to use different tools for different jobs. Let the Royal grind the espresso, and get another grinder for drip and the like. The burrs are easy to access for cleaning, and calibrating them afterward is simple, too. If the Royal seems too big for your needs, the Mazzer Kony is worth your consideration; or, for a small doser that’s perfect for home, take a look at the Mini or Mini P.

Infinite Grind Settings
The Mazzer Royal is a stepless grinder, meaning you can make adjustments in increments of your choosing, rather than a limited, factory-designated amount. This is ideal for dialing in your grind for better tasting shots on any prosumer machine it’s paired with. The Royal can grind for coarse brew methods, too, though we recommend using a separate grinder for those.

Time-Based Grinding
The Mazzer Royal is manual, and as such it’s a breeze to use. Turn the dial for up to sixty seconds of continuous grinding into the doser, which then dispenses a pre-portioned amount from 5.5 to 9 grams into your portafilter with the pull of the lever. This functionality is super simple, and easy to master in no time at all.

Automatic Grinding Cycle
The Mazzer Royal has an automatic grinding cycle that will start the grinder every twelve doses and stop the grinder when it reaches the desired amount. This ensures that there is always a supply of freshly ground espresso waiting and available for your customers, even at the busiest of times.

Large Capacity Hopper
The Mazzer Royal is outfitted with an extra large hopper for high volume brewing situations, whether at home or in a cafe. It’s made of a durable, clear plastic that holds up to 4 pounds of beans, and features a handy hopper stopper, which closes the hopper for easy removal. This is great for swapping out the beans, or getting access to the burrs for cleaning or calibration.
