Professional Commercial Coffee Grinder: The Fama 900N

If you're running a busy café or roastery, you need a grinder that keeps up—without overheating, clogging, or sacrificing grind quality. The wrong machine can slow you down, burn your beans, or deliver inconsistent shots. But what makes a grinder truly ‘commercial-grade’? It’s not just horsepower or burr size. It’s durability, heat management, and precision under pressure.

The Fama 900N is a 1/2HP commercial coffee grinder built for long shifts. It features a built-in cooling fan, a 64mm burr set, and a short chute to reduce coffee retention—key for high-volume, high-quality brewing.

Why It Works for Cafés

This grinder is built for the demands of a working café. The powerful 1/2HP motor sustains high-volume grinding, while the cooling fan prevents thermal degradation of beans. The 64mm burrs ensure uniform particle distribution critical for espresso and batch brews. An infinite adjustment knob allows for micro-adjustments on the fly—essential when switching between espresso and filter roasts. The minimal powder retention in the chute means less waste and cleaner doses.

The Fama 900N is also equipped with a timed grinding function and quantitative dosing features, enabling baristas to standardize shot or brew weights. Its sturdy build and consistent performance make it a reliable workhorse for both independent shops and larger roasteries.

Colour Options

The grinder is available in black and red colourways, with additional finishes including silver and grey. These aesthetic choices let you match the machine to your shop’s branding or equipment palette.
