Eureka Atom W 75

The Atom W 75 grinds by weight with Eureka's patented Instant Grind Weighing Technology, which Eureka specifies to a dose consistency of 0.2 g. Behind it sit 75 mm flat burrs in hardened steel, grinding 3.3 to 4.8 g per second for espresso.

What our baristas think

The Atom W 75 suits an espresso bar that wants doses by weight and more burr surface than a 64 or 65 mm grinder. Eureka recommends it for espresso; for filter coffee and bags to order, the Mahlkönig EK43 is the better tool. Next to the Mahlkönig E65S GbW it has larger burrs but is wider (27.8 cm versus 19.5 cm); next to the Fiorenzato F83 E XGi PRO it has smaller burrs (75 versus 83 mm) and weighs less (12 versus 18.6 kg).

Cons

• Eureka recommends it for espresso only.
• Burrs rated for about 600 kg: plan a replacement on a busy bar.
