MILAN, Italy – Mahlkönig, leading Premium coffee grinder manufacturer since 1924, and La Marzocco, leading Premium espresso machine manufacturer since 1927, announce a collaboration that promises to revolutionize the world of coffee: the Sync System to master consistency and unlock repeatable coffee quality globally.
Mahlkönig and La Marzocco share a common goal: delivering coffee with unmatched quality, speed and convenience around the world.
In collaboration they have taken the next step: unlocking the possibility to produce high quality espresso shots reproducible and repeatable across different employees/baristas and locations.
What is The Sync System?
The Sync System consists of a Mahlkönig E80W Grind-by-Sync paired with a La Marzocco machine* which are seamlessly synchronized using the Mahlkönig Sync and LM Pro mobile app.
The system allows wireless communication between the grinder and the espresso machine and ensures that every espresso shot is of unparalleled quality, reproducible in all outlets, and by anyone operating the machine. No more manual adjustments – just great quality shots every time.
*Linea PB ABR, GB5 ABR or KB90 ABR
How does it work?
Through wireless synchronization via the Mahlkönig Sync or La Marzocco Pro app, the espresso machine and grinder exchange data, adjusting the grind size automatically.
If the shot runs too fast, indicating a coarse grind, the app signals the grinder to refine the grind adjustment.
Contrarily, if the shot is too slow, indicating a fine grind, the grinder adjusts for a coarser grinding. This real-time communication ensures consistency in taste and quality, creating the perfect cup, no matter the location.
What are the key benefits?
Maximized consistency: same product quality can be delivered consistently across locations and shifts
Increased efficiency: baristas have more time for customer interactions as they can brew faster, enhancing the overall customer experience
Ultra-Precise Micro-Adjustments: automatic grind size adjustment unlocks the possibility of micro-adjustments of grind size
Streamlined training: Reduced training efforts for staff required, simplifying operations.
Centralized control: Managers have complete control over recipes and operational data and insights in a Manager Portal.
Remote monitoring: Roasters and retailers can monitor grinding quantities, optimizing their operations.
Informed Decision-Making: Equipment distributors and service partners gain insights for targeted maintenance and replacements.
Sustainability: Decreased coffee wastage contributes to a greener planet. The technology benefits everyone involved – from equipment users to roasters, coffee retailers, equipment distributors, and service partners.
The Future of The Sync System?
The companies vision for Grind-by-Sync extends beyond being a Mahlkönig and La Marzocco digital partnership.
They aim to evolve it into the go-to ecosystem for professional coffee preparation by facilitating data exchange with other coffee equipment and software solutions. The initial collaboration involves La Marzocco, with whom Mahlkönig will premier this technology together and launch it via a collaborative launch communication plan, as they share the overarching goal of delivering quality coffee moments with unmatched speed and convenience.
