Taiwan-Made 900N Commercial Espresso Grinder Specs

If you're running a busy coffee shop and your current grinder can't keep up with espresso orders without overheating or leaving too much coffee in the chute, you're not alone. Finding a reliable, high-volume espresso grinder that maintains consistency and minimizes waste is a common challenge for specialty coffee businesses.

The 900N is a Taiwanese-made commercial espresso grinder built for daily use in busy cafés. It features a 1/2HP motor, runs at 1400 RPM, and includes a built-in cooling fan—key specs for high-volume shops needing durability and consistent output.

Key Technical Specifications

The 900N is engineered specifically for commercial espresso grinding. Its physical dimensions are 33×19×57 cm, and it weighs 11.8 kg. The packaged dimensions are 59×26×39 cm, with a total packaged weight of 13.1 kg. Powered by a 1/2HP motor, it operates at 1400 RPM. The hopper holds up to 1.2 kg of coffee beans, and the grinder delivers a crushing capacity of 10–15 kg per hour. The burr size is 64 mm, and it features an adjustable grind setting with a short discharge chute designed to reduce coffee retention.

Design Features for Commercial Use

The 900N is built to withstand the demands of a high-volume café environment. Its standout feature is the 1/2HP motor paired with a built-in cooling fan, which helps prevent overheating during extended use. The 64mm flat burrs are larger than those found on many home or lower-end commercial grinders, allowing for more efficient grinding and better heat dissipation. The grinder also offers stepless adjustment, giving baristas precise control over grind size—a critical factor for dialing in espresso shots. Additionally, the short powder outlet minimizes coffee grounds left inside the machine, reducing waste and making cleanup easier.

Why These Specs Matter for Espresso Grinding

For espresso, consistency and temperature stability are crucial. The 900N’s 1/2HP motor provides enough power to handle continuous grinding without bogging down, while the cooling fan helps maintain a stable temperature, which is essential for extracting balanced shots. The 64mm burrs are designed to produce a uniform grind size, improving extraction efficiency and shot quality. Stepless adjustment allows baristas to fine-tune the grind to match different espresso blends and roasts, while the short chute reduces retention, ensuring fresher coffee for each shot and less mess during busy service periods.
