Overview

The Santos Silent Shop Coffee Grinder With Bag Holder 43 is a rugged, high-performance commercial grinder built for retail coffee environments. Combining the reliability of Santos' horizontal-axis grinding system with an integrated 14.17" bag holder, the #43 lets you grind and dispense directly into retail bags — from 250g to 2.2 lbs — with zero mess and maximum efficiency.

Designed and manufactured in France, this grinder is trusted by coffee shops, supermarkets, artisan roasters, delicatessens, and bakeries worldwide. The quieter motor (70.4 dBA) makes it more comfortable in retail settings than conventional commercial grinders, while the robust stainless steel and cast aluminium body ensures it handles the demands of daily professional use.

Key Features

Integrated Bag Holder (14.17" High): The built-in bag holder accepts retail bags from 250g to 2.2 lbs, allowing you to grind directly into the bag for an efficient, hygienic workflow with no secondary transfer required.

Silent Motor Operation (70.4 dBA): Significantly quieter than standard commercial grinders, making it well-suited for retail environments where customer conversation and ambiance matter.

Full Grind Range: Stepless adjustment from extra fine (espresso) to extra coarse (filter, French press, cold brew) — versatile enough to serve every customer's preference.

Horizontal Axis Grinding Discs with Feeding Screw: Ensures even, consistent feeding of beans into the grinding chamber for uniform particle size distribution and minimal heat generation.

Santos-Manufactured Precision Burrs (Ø 2.5"): Custom-designed and manufactured in-house, these burrs deliver precise, high-quality grinds across the full adjustment range.

Large 3.7 lbs Hopper: More capacity than standard shop grinders, reducing how often you need to top up during busy periods.

Simple Direct Dispensing: Coffee flows straight from the burrs into the bag — no intermediate container, no oxidation, maximum freshness.

Commercial Induction Motor with Thermal Protection: Built for intensive use, the motor is protected against overheating for consistent performance throughout the working day.

Stainless Steel & Sanitary Cast Aluminium Body: Hygienic, easy-to-clean surfaces meet food safety standards for retail and food service applications.
