Mahlkonig EK43 & EK43 T
The MahlKönig EK43 S and EK43 ST deliver the legendary grinding performance, extreme particle uniformity, and high extraction yield of the iconic EK43 into a compact, space-saving footprint. Engineered for specialty coffee bars, roasteries, cupping labs, and high-volume commercial venues, these short-body models provide the exact same motor power and burr architecture as the original EK43 while fitting comfortably under standard overhead cabinetry.
Both models feature massive 98mm cast steel flat burrs renowned for producing an exceptionally tight particle size distribution, resulting in clean, sweet, and highly transparent flavor profiles. While the EK43 S is optimized for allround espresso, filter, and single-dose workflow, the EK43 ST (Short Turkish) is specially equipped with Turkish burr geometry and a dedicated pre-breaker system engineered specifically for superfine Turkish coffee preparation and ultra-dense espresso extractions.
