Rancilio is one of the oldest manufacturers of Espresso equipment in the world, and with almost a century of experience behind them, it is safe to assume that they know what they are doing. Although they have historically focussed on espresso machines, they have begun to turn their attention to commercial coffee grinders and the results are spectacular.

The Rancilio Kryo Commercial On Demand Espresso Grinder boasts 64mm burrs made from ThermaSteel (heat resistant steel) which gives it a grinding capacity of up to 8kg per hour (that's enough coffee to make a whopping 400 espressos!). This grinder is specifically designed for cafes doing incredibly high volumes of coffee and it not only grinds fast and consistently, but it has a feature set to back this up. 

The on demand feature offers hands-free operation, giving back precious time to your barista, increasing productivity and keep things smooth sailing in the cafe. It uses a timer to accurately dose the programmed amount of ground coffee directly into the portafilter. It also has features like micrometric grind adjustments to allow you to get the perfect grind every time.

One of the biggest challenges that a high volume espresso grinder faces is the challenge of heat. Steel burrs grinding coffee at over 1000rpm can generate a lot of heat - this not only causes the burrs to expand and contract resulting in fluctuations in the grind, it also has a negative impact on the flavour of the espresso. Rancilio have adressed this in 3 ways, they use the standard cooling fans to keep the grinding chamber cool, thermo-resistant burrs, but what really sets them apart is the cooling fins. The Kryo has aluminium fins in the grinding chamber which allow it to rapidly dissipate heat, keeping the grinding chamber significantly cooler than similar grinders.

If you are looking for a commercial grinder to handle any volume, this is the product for you. Order yours from Soma Coffee Company today.
