Features
Grinding burrs
- Flat grinding burrs: Large size at 65 mm. The larger the size, the more of a grinding surface, resulting in faster production. The burrs are made of a long-lasting TITANIUM.
- High rpm: Fast spinning rate at 1310 rpm. The higher the speed, the faster the production, which can increase efficiency and reduce wait times. Espresso grinding is approximately 2.7 – 3.7 grams / second, but depends on beans, voltage, and grind fineness.
Grinding adjustment
- Stepless: Gives you an “infinite” range of settings that allow you to really fine-tune your grind to your espresso machine. Turn clockwise for a finer grind and counterclockwise for a coarser grind.
- Perfect positioning: The adjustment knob is located on the top right of the grinder, underneath the bean hopper. This helps keep the overall width of the Zenith 65E low compared to other grinders that have it on the side. This also protects it from hitting against other equipment.
Portafilter fork
- Portafilter fork: Used mainly for espresso grinding. There is a built-in lip that helps hold most portafilters in place. The fork can be raised up and down by loosening the holding screw with the included Allen key. Once the fork is in the right position, then you can tighten the fastening screw. The fork is greatly designed for any filterholder out there.
Bean hopper
- Short: We request the short hoppers as the grinders are already tall and would be difficult to fit under most cabinets if using the standard hopper.
- Rubber neck guard: The bean hopper sits comfortably on top of the grinder. There is a rubber neck guard that helps protect the neck of the bean hopper from cracking.
- Finger guard: prevents users from “accidentally” putting their fingers in the grinding burrs.
- Set screw: Secures the hopper to the grinder. Prevents users from quickly removing the hopper, spilling beans everywhere.
Electronic controls
- Color display: When semi-automatic dosing, the display switches to a picture of a grinding burr with a timer in the center. It will count up by 0.1 second increments until you stop. When electronic dosing, the screen will highlight whether you select “1-cup” or “2-cup”. The timer will count down when you start the grinding cycle.
- Time-based grinding: For single and double shots. The “1-cup” mode can adjust from 0.5 seconds to 25 seconds. The “2-cup” mode can adjust from 0.5 seconds to 35 seconds. You can adjust the time by 0.1 second increments. The semi-automatic mode tracks the time from start to stop.

Espresso Coffee Grinder Warnings:
- Roast Profiles: Espresso grinders sold by 1st-line Equipment, unless specifically indicated on the grinder page, are manufactured for coffee beans that have Italian or espresso roast profiles. Lighter roasted coffee beans may clog the grinder or not grind fine enough. Darker roasted coffee beans, such as French roasted or oily coffee beans, may clog the grinding chamber and/or the grinder chute where the ground coffee exits.
- Changing grind settings: It is very important to only change grind settings when the unit is powered on and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will ‘gunk’ up and render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. To remedy this, you will have to open up the grinder to get access to the grinding burrs. This issue will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and not be classified as a defective grinder.
- Electrical cord: For most grinders, the cord is placed between the packaging (foam or cardboard) and the underside body of the grinder. During shipping, it is normal for a bend or insignificant blemish/slice to damage the cord.
- Finding coffee grinds in a new grinder: Most manufacturers test their grinders with coffee beans before they leave their facility. Unfortunately, they are not always able to get every trace of coffee out of the grinders after testing. As a result, you may find coffee beans or grinds inside your grinder, or there may be grinds in the packaging.
- Static issues: There are static issues with all grinders, even the highest-quality models. We firmly believe that the static comes from the coffee beans. If you are having static problems with your coffee grinder, try using a different blend of beans.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage (which is not considered a manufacturer's defect), please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. A surge without protection can damage a grinder at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.
- Burr cleaning: For routine maintenance of the grinding burrs, we recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or the burr carrier for cleaning (unless necessary) as re-assembly can cause damage. If the grinder chamber is dis-assembled, the warranty is voided for any damages that result. It is important to always remove all coffee grinds from the threads of the burr carrier and the grinding chamber.
- Replacing burrs: NEVER use a flat head screwdriver and hammer to wedge UNDER the burrs for removal. This could badly damage your grinder.

The reasoning is that in low light situations, it helps with putting in the portafilter. Currently, there is no capability to shut off the light other than a simple solution to place some black electrical tape over it. However, the light may prematurely burn due to overheating.

I have been using this grinder for about a week now and it is really a game changer for me. I was previously using a Rancilio Rocky grinder purchased from 1st Line in 2007 that did a great job over the years with multiple replacements of the steel burrs, which was always a pain. This grinder with titanium burrs should last a really long time with recommended cleaning periodically. It is very easy to adjust the grind with the stepless control. After adjusting the height for the portofilter, and some minor changes to the single and double dose options, setup was really simple. There is no issue at all with the grinds going all over the place as was the case with the Rocky doser. Grinding operation is also much quieter than the Rocky. This is a great complement to my Lelit Mara X purchased 3 years ago from 1st Line. Highly recommended!
