Product Description:
The EK Omnia grinder is equipped with a suite of advancements that make it an indispensable tool for high-demand, high-expectation settings. The new technological innovation of Library Mode allows users to save their favorite grinding recipes, including notes for the bean name and target coffee grams. In combination with the Pre-Dosing Unit (PDU), a volumetric hopper*, EK Omnia automatically adjusts to the exact burr distance in microns and grind time, according to the recipe. The front-facing LED screen is a powerful and easy-to-use interface to set ultra-precise micro-adjustments of the grind size.
Saved grinding recipes seamlessly integrate volumetric dosing with micron-level grind size settings. The grind size, meticulously measured in real-time by micron distance, eliminates any guesswork or reliance on arbitrary dials. When a recipe is selected, the grinder instantly fine-tunes both the burr distance and pre-dosing unit to precisely match the chosen parameters.

Common Questions and Answers
How does stepless grind adjustment work?
A: Stepless grind adjustment like the one featured on the EK43 S series means that you have the freedom to choose any fineness setting you want for the coffee.
The alternative, a stepped grinder, gives you certain presets to work within. This can be great for less experienced users as it’s easy to find settings.
That being said, it’s not always ideal if you want coffee ground more precisely. Precision translates to a more refined flavor profile, so if you want to bring out the nuances of the coffee, getting the exact fineness setting you need with stepless grind adjustment is part of the process.
How does burr size affect the coffee?
The EK43 S 98 mm burr size can have quite a significant impact on the coffee. A larger burr can actually help to maintain cooler grinding, which ends up preserving the flavor of the final product.
Here’s how it works. Larger burrs have larger surfaces with more “teeth,” so they need to rotate fewer times to grind the coffee. Because of this, less friction is created and the motor runs for a shorter period of time, so less internal heat is produced.
The reason this is important is that heat can actually damage the coffee flavor and quality. You might notice that coffee that was overheated as it was ground tastes a little on the burned side.
The EK43 S 98 mm burrs are considered to be fairly massive even by large burr grinder standards, contributing to this model’s ultra cool grinding. It’s why you’re able to grind all day long without worrying about heat issues.
TLDR: For coffee aficionados who want excellent grinding quality but need a faster workflow and more convenience, the EK Omnia unlocks a new era in coffee grinding.
