Santos On-Demand Silent Coffee Grinder 55

The Santos On-Demand Silent Coffee Grinder 55 is one of the quietest professional espresso grinders available — delivering a full dose of freshly ground coffee in under 1 second at just 63 dB. Designed to sit perfectly beside 1, 2, or 3-group traditional espresso machines, the Santos #55 operates with near-silent automation, making it a favourite in high-end cafés, boutique hotels, and fine dining restaurants where atmosphere matters as much as coffee quality.

Unlike portion-based dispensers that store pre-ground coffee, the #55 grinds on demand — meaning every single shot starts with freshly cracked beans. No stale coffee, no compromised flavour, just pure extraction quality in every cup.

Fully Automatic On-Demand Operation: The exact dose of coffee for 1 or 2 espressos is dispensed automatically the moment the portafilter is detected — hands-free and consistent every time.

No Dispenser — Maximum Freshness: Coffee beans are ground directly on demand and dispensed straight into the portafilter. No pre-ground coffee sitting and going stale — every cup is as fresh as it gets.

Ultra-Quiet Motor (63 dB): Santos' powerful asynchronous motor with advanced sound-dampening technology makes this one of the quietest commercial grinders on the market. Ideal for open-plan venues and quiet service environments.

Blazing Speed: A standard 7g dose is dispensed in less than 1 second — no bottlenecks during rush hour.

Santos Precision Burrs (Ø 2.5"): Custom-manufactured grinding discs deliver a consistent, unimodal grind that unlocks the full flavour profile of your espresso beans.

Antistatic System: Reduces coffee grounds clinging to surfaces inside and outside the grinder for a cleaner workflow.

Portafilter Holder (55BAR & 55W versions): Hands-free portafilter attachment for safe and precise positioning under the grind outlet.

Tamper Included (55BF version): Some versions ship with a built-in tamper for a complete espresso prep workflow.
