Around 15 years ago the Mahlkönig EK43 grinder took the coffee industry by storm! Its quality and reliability has stood the test of time and earned it a place on many barista's counter tops over the years and it has become somewhat of a classic within the industry.
The design has remained fairly un-changed in recent years with the exception of some different colourways and slight modifications but now Mahlkönig have produced the EK Omnia, a new take on the original EK43 but with classic EK styling and high tech features including programmable grind settings and digital display for superb accuracy.
In this video I go through the new features of the Omnia and compare it to its predecessor, plus explain some of my favourite features and why I've loved using this grinder for the last few few days. Sadly, it's not mine and by the time this video goes out it should be with one of my customers but it's certainly got me thinking about how to justify getting one for us at the Roastery!
If you have any questions on the new EK Omnia let us know in the comments and if you liked the video or found it useful or interesting we'd really appreciate a thumbs up!
Thanks for watching!

Looking at the "short" you posted there seems to be lot of static attracted to the outer delivery pipe, is that an accumulation or on each grind I wonder? If using single dose loading why not use the water spritz to reduce that, and how is that inner delivery tube working to reduce this, or is it not? All questions for the upcoming review post I hope despite this being out of my price bracket by a about a factor of 10 🤣 It would also be interesting to look at the accuracy and precision of that displayed grind size, does the burr come zeroed, I presume so, but then is it resettable I wonder and is that actual size really relevant, it looks good but could equally a number on a scale of 1-1000.

There does seem to be a static build up though less than my standard EK. To be honest in a commercial environment I personally would deal with the static and not worry about spritzing the beans. I have a feeling it might all settle down a bit once the unit has been used for a while. The burr can be reset. We manually adjust to touching and then recalibrate. This will need to be done periodically as the burrs wear. From a commercial point of view I’d love one at the Roastery as we typically move between 11 or 12 coffees at any one time, so the library mode would be very useful. Would I buy one for home use - no!

With luck the library mode will trickle down to domestic machines. For many years than I care to remember I have used an Iberital grinder which was marketed to small commercial use as a second decaf or small volume grinder, domestic grinder I have looked at seem to much like a play toy so I'm always interested in the commercial lines. Checked the plate and it was bought new in 2006 😱 and the parts are still available, I just replaced the delivery chute which had cracked, usable still but cosmetically annoying. Maybe I have had my money back?

@ChrisLivsey-dn6rz not bad if you’ve been running the same grinder for 18yrs. Ever changed the burrs?

@ChrisLivsey-dn6rz 2 ай бұрын

No, not yet 😇 It's hard to find figures for none commercial machines but commercial seem to show, as I would expect, larger burrs last longer say 1,500Kg, 1,000Kg for smaller burrs. I use around 1 to 1.5 Kg a month so 12 to 18 Kg a year, a max of around 300Kg through. I've seen 500Kg quoted for smaller "domestic" machines, 38mm, I think though that the bearings etc would probably need attention by then as well so retirement after a life well lived? @@carvetiicoffee

I’m interested in buying this grinder for home use to. It’s surprising to read that it can’t grind coffee for espresso. Did you find a solution. Thank you

Did it performed well in library mode? I’m interested in filter& espresso switching from one to another

You have to change your burr for the Turkish one. Like on the ek43 T stand for Turkish burr made for espresso
