Melitta Molino

Compact professional model

Despite the quite affordable price of the Melitta Molino coffee grinder, the manufacturer refers it to the category of professional equipment, which is intended as an addition to the cafeteria hardware. There are no complaints about the design and dimensions of the model. The device turned out to be very compact due to the lack of a superstructure-tower for filling coffee beans, which usually crowns the coffee grinder. The loading hopper is located directly in the body of the device and holds approximately 200 g of roasted beans. From above it is covered with a transparent plastic cover. Below is a removable container for crushed grains, also made of transparent plastic.

And on the left side face there is a wheel for adjusting 17 degrees of grinding for espresso 1 – 3, filtered coffee 2 – 13 and French press 12 – 17. disk mechanism for crushing and grinding grains. Due to the low quality of fine grinding, the device did not live up to expectations in use with espresso machines and is recommended for fans of filtered coffee.

Thanks to a well-thought-out design, most of the components can be easily removed, making it easier to maintain and clean the device.

The manufacturer has set a 5-year service life for the device and gives it a 2-year international warranty.
