{"product_id":"weber-workshops-eg-1","title":"Weber Workshops The EG-1 80mm Flat Burr Coffee Grinder","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ccc-mobile-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWeber Workshops EG-1 – 80mm Flat Burr Espresso Grinder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blind Shaker slides off the oak plate. Two neodymium magnets snap it precisely into position — no play, no fiddling. The dose goes into the hopper, then a press of the button. The brushless motor engages, quiet, almost casual. Nothing sharp, no whine, just a deep hum. The 80mm CORE Burrs run at the RPM you've set — 900, 1200, 1800, depending on the bean and the roast. The grounds fall into the shaker, a quick shake and the coffee distributes evenly. It goes onto the portafilter, then a flip. Puck. Clean. The same every morning, and mornings become something to look forward to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Weber Workshops EG-1 has been the grinder others measure themselves against since 2015. Douglas Weber, who spent over a decade as a product designer at Apple — among other things on the original iPod team — before founding Weber Workshops in 2014, designed it as a single-dose espresso grinder for home and café use, with the explicit ambition that it be used for decades. In the current Mk.3 version with 80mm CORE Burrs (magnetically mounted, tool-free swap), variable speed from 500 to 1800 RPM, PID-controlled motor for constant RPM, and retention under 0.1g. Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Weber Workshops and carries the full range including accessories and spare parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 80mm flat burrs do in the cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EG-1 grinds with 80mm CORE burrs. That's not just a number — size determines the particle distribution. Smaller burrs (48mm, 54mm, 64mm) typically produce a larger share of very fine particles (fines) alongside the main particles. That's a bimodal distribution, which creates body, crema, and a certain sweetness in espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e80mm flat burrs work differently. The particle distribution is narrower, the fines share lower. What becomes tastable in the cup: more clarity, more defined aroma separation, cleanly separated acidities. That doesn't mean 80mm is automatically better — it means it produces a different result. The difference shows up especially with lighter roasts and filter-coffee crossovers. Our observation after years of the EG-1 in the showroom: anyone who wants to hear the nuances of their bean finds more of them on the EG-1. That's one view, one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe refinements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current EG-1 is the third major generation. CORE (DB-1) burrs are the standard burr set of the Mk.3 and replace the earlier BASE (DB-3) burrs — developed by Weber specifically for a balanced character between clarity and body. For anyone wanting even more specific profiles: the ULTRA (DB-2) burrs (available separately, manufactured by SSP for Weber) are optimized for clean, low-fines cups with pour-over and filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariable speed from 500 to 1800 RPM — adjustable in real time while grinding. Lower RPM (around 800) tends to produce fewer fines and more clarity, higher RPM (around 1300) more body and texture. The same coffee can be ground in different ways without ever swapping the grinder. The PID-controlled motor detects the bean's resistance and adjusts torque in real time to keep the set RPM constant even with hard beans. New in the Mk.3: a dedicated purge button at the centre of the RPM dial that briefly reverses the burrs and then runs them at maximum speed — to dislodge foreign objects or jammed beans and flush out the last coffee residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTool-free cleaning, Blind Shaker, oak plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid of the EG-1 is held in place magnetically, lifting off in one motion. The upper burr is also seated magnetically and comes out without tools. Within 20 seconds the grinding chamber is clean, everything back in place. That sounds like a small detail — but anyone who uses a grinder daily knows how much an easy cleaning routine is worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blind Shaker is a Weber in-house development, now used by barista world champions around the globe. A magnetically mounted collection cup with a special lid that homogenises the grounds with a brief shake. The oak plate under the grinder positions the shaker precisely, so it sits exactly where it should during grinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrinding type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80mm CORE (DB-1) flat burrs, magnetically mounted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlternative burrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eULTRA (DB-2), available separately, manufactured by SSP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrushless DC, PID-controlled for constant RPM with hard beans\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 to 1800 RPM, variable in real time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurge function\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDedicated purge button (reverse + max burst), new in Mk.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e315–385 W (depending on voltage)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrind size adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-micron steps, stepless fine adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetention\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c 0.1g typical (with Blind Shaker)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCNC-machined aluminium, magnetic cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTool-free, burrs magnetically removable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEG-1, Blind Shaker, oak plate, cleaning brush, power cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.5 × 45.6 × 23.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeber Workshops (Douglas Weber, formerly product designer at Apple)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the EG-1 is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EG-1 suits anyone looking for a grinder for the next ten to twenty years and wanting a tool built for exactly that timespan.

This tends to lead to more clarity and more defined aroma separation in the cup — especially noticeable with light roasts and filter coffee. 48mm or 64mm burrs, by contrast, produce more fines and therefore more body and crema.
