5,0 1 review64 mm MahlwerkFor home barista & purists
Who the Mahlkönig X64 SD single can coffee grinder is made for
One variety, one dose, no residue in the hopper.
You enter exactly the amount you want to grind. That way no beans sit in the hopper for days, and changing variety does not cost you half a hopper fill.
- 01 Small kitchens14 cm wide. The available space does not determine the technology.
- 02 For those looking for the exact pointStepless adjustment. You do not get stuck between two notches but hit the value in between.
- 03 Freshness instead of stockHopper for 30 grams, you weigh in per shot. The beans are never exposed to the air for longer than one cup.
What's inside
The technology that matters for espresso.
On the machine
Grinder64 mm grinder
The diameter of the grinding burrs determines how many revolutions are needed for the same amount of coffee.
BurrsSpecial steel
Flat burrs grind with two parallel rings and deliver a tight particle size distribution.
Grind sizestepless, micrometric, scale 0 to 12
Stepless means you can adjust continuously, even between two clicks.
DosingManual volume dosing
You decide how long to grind.
BeansBean hopper 30 g
A small hopper means more frequent refilling, but the bean in the basket is always fresh from the bag.
Inside: you do not see it, but you notice it
TypeSingle Dose
Single Dose means you put in exactly the amount you want to grind.
Speed2.5 g per second
The grinder output indicates how much ground coffee comes out per second.
LifespanGrind burrs approx. 500 kg
The manufacturer's guideline for how much coffee the burrs can handle before they should be replaced.
What matters for the grinder
What this grinder can do and where its limit lies.
The numbers from the data sheet, in the order that matters. A faster grinder does not grind better, it only grinds more.
64 mm
Large burrs, cooler grounds
The larger the burrs, the fewer revolutions are needed for the same amount of coffee. The grounds heat up less, and heat in the ground coffee costs aroma. Installed are special steel.
500 kg
How long the burrs last
Manufacturer specification for when the burrs should be replaced. Dull burrs are not noticeable by the grind appearance, but only by taste.
7,2 s
How long a dose takes
For 18 g of coffee, calculated from 2,5 g per second. For a single drink you hardly notice it: brewing and milk foam take longer than grinding. For 50 drinks during peak time that is about 1 minutes less grinding time than the mid-range of our assortment.
14 × 25 cm
This is how much space it needs
These are 350 square centimeters of counter that are permanently occupied. At 25 cm height you need space above it for refilling.
2,5 kg per day
It cannot do more than that.
That would be about 130 espressos per day at 18 g per shot. The maximum performance quoted by the manufacturer, not a recommendation for everyday use. If you regularly operate in this range, schedule maintenance more frequently.
All values come from the data sheet of this device. If a specification is missing, it is not listed here.

Grinder typesingle dose grinders
Single Dose means you put in exactly the amount you want to grind. No beans sit in the hopper for days and you can switch between two coffees without first using up the previous one. For that you weigh out each time.
Grinder64 mm
The diameter of the grinding burrs determines how many revolutions are needed for the same amount of coffee. Larger burrs need fewer revolutions, the grind warms up less, and heat in the grind reduces aroma.
Burrs64 mm, special steel
Flat burrs grind with two parallel rings and deliver a tight particle size distribution. You do not recognize dull burrs by appearance but by the fact that the shot runs faster than usual.
Grind size adjustmentstepless, micrometric, scale 0 to 12
Stepless means you can adjust continuously, even between two clicks. That is useful when a bean falls exactly between two settings, but it requires that you remember your setting.
Burr lifespan500 kg
The manufacturer's guideline for how much coffee the burrs can handle before they should be replaced. You do not notice dull burrs by their appearance but because the extraction runs faster than usual at the same setting.
Dosing and performance
Dosingmanual dose control
You decide how long to grind. The most reliable way is with a scale because otherwise the amount shifts with grind size and bean.
Grinding capacity2.5 g/s
The grinder output indicates how much ground coffee comes out per second. For a single drink you hardly notice it, as extraction and milk determine the time. You only feel it when many drinks are made back to back.
Bean hopper30 g
A small hopper means more frequent refilling, but the bean in the basket is always fresh from the bag. For single shots this gives the better result.

Is the Mahlkönig X64 SD Single Dose coffee grinder suitable for filter coffee?
The Mahlkönig X64 SD Single Dose coffee grinder is suitable for filter coffee. You can adjust the grind size steplessly between 120 and 1,500 µm. The grinding system made of hardened steel delivers a fine and even result, which is important for filter coffee.
How strong is the retention of the X64 SD compared to an E65W GbS, is single-dose worth it for dial-ins with changing single origins?
The X64 SD is designed for single-dose use. When switching between different single origins, the beans can be easily exchanged. Purging remains minimal most of the time. You get consistent results when dialing in. It is recommended if you often want to test different varieties.
What grind size range does the X64 SD cover, is it fine enough for turbo shots and coarse enough for V60 light roasts?
The X64 SD features a stepless grind size adjustment from 120µm to 1,500µm. This covers the range for turbo shots (140–160µm) and the required range for light V60 filter roasts (800–1,200µm). The 64mm flat burrs ensure consistent particle size and slightly more heat generation than conical grinders. For espresso, you use about 10–15% of the adjustment range. If you regularly switch between espresso and filter, the X64 SD is one of the few single-dose grinders that can uncompromisingly handle both applications.
How loud is the X64 SD really in operation? Under 65dB sounds like marketing; what do long-term users say on Home-Barista?
The manufacturer's specification of "under 65 dB" cannot be directly substantiated based on the Home-Barista posts. Many users find the X64 SD to be noticeably quieter in operation than classic grinders, but not particularly silent. Compared to a Mazzer Kony S, it appears to be significantly more subdued, yet still clearly audible. The RPM is lower than that of fast commercial grinders, which reduces noise. The grinder is suitable for an open kitchen, but it does not achieve nighttime silence. Some users report: Quieter than Niche Zero or DF64, but without true whisper quality. Those who want it almost silent must resort to hand grinders.
Does the X64 SD fit under an E61 group with low clearance, how much height do I need for direct portafilter dosing?
The exact outlet height of the X64 SD for direct portafilter dosing is not specified in the available specifications. To check if the grinder can be used under your E61 brew group, it is advisable to make a direct inquiry with the manufacturer. Alternatively, many baristas use dosing cups when space is limited.
Welche Mahlkönig Kaffeemühle eignet sich am besten für Espresso?
Für Espresso sind Modelle mit 64 mm oder 65 mm Mahlscheiben ideal. Die E65W GbS ist aktuell die wichtigste Café-Mühle von Mahlkönig und schafft 80-120 Bezüge täglich mit konstanter Qualität. Für zu Hause ist die X64 SD perfekt: Sie mahlt einzelne Portionen frisch, hat ein 64 mm Scheibenmahlwerk aus gehärtetem Stahl und du kannst den Mahlgrad stufenlos von 120 bis 1.500 µm einstellen. Das Mahlgut ist sehr gleichmäßig verteilt, dadurch schmeckt der Espresso klarer und weniger bitter.
Welche Mahlkönig Mühle ist für Single Dose Mahlung (Einzeldosierung) geeignet?
Die X64 SD ist speziell für Single Dose gebaut. Du füllst nur die Bohnen ein die du brauchst, sie mahlt alles durch und es bleibt fast nichts in der Mühle zurück. Das ist perfekt wenn du verschiedene Kaffeesorten ausprobieren willst ohne dass sich Reste vermischen. Die E64 WS kann mit Grind-by-Weight auch einzelne Portionen abwiegen. Klassische Café-Mühlen wie die E65W haben einen Bohnenbehälter und sind für durchgehenden Betrieb gedacht.
Welche Kaffeemühle von Mahlkönig eignet sich für den Heimgebrauch?
Die X64 SD ist ideal für zu Hause. Sie ist kompakt, mahlt frisch pro Tasse und arbeitet leise unter 65 dB. Die E64 WS ist die Brücke zwischen Heimanwendung und kleinem Café: präziser mit Grind-by-Weight aber teurer. Beide haben 64 mm Mahlscheiben was für Espresso vollkommen ausreicht. Wichtig: Mahlkönig-Mühlen sind eine Investition. Wenn du vorher eine günstige Einstiegsmühle hattest wirst du den Unterschied im Geschmack sofort merken.
Welche Mahlkönig Mühle eignet sich sowohl für Espresso als auch für Filterkaffee?
Die EK43 ist legendär für beide Zubereitungsarten. Sie hat 98 mm Mahlscheiben und liefert sehr gleichmäßiges Mahlgut von Espresso bis Filterkaffee. Deshalb wurde sie jahrelang bei Barista-Meisterschaften eingesetzt. Für reinen Espresso im Café gibt es heute aber schnellere Alternativen wie die E65. Die X64 SD zu Hause deckt mit ihrer stufenlosen Einstellung von 120 bis 1.500 µm auch beide Bereiche ab. Für Filterkaffee stellst du einfach gröber ein.
Was bedeutet die Mahlscheibengröße (z.B. 65mm, 80mm) bei Mahlkönig Mühlen?
Die Zahl gibt den Durchmesser der Mahlscheiben in Millimetern an. Größere Scheiben mahlen schneller und erzeugen weniger Hitze weil sich die Arbeit auf mehr Fläche verteilt. 64-65 mm sind Standard für Espresso zu Hause und in kleineren Cafés. 80 mm und mehr sind für hohe Durchsätze in größeren Betrieben gedacht. Die X64 SD hat 64 mm Scheiben aus gehärtetem Spezialstahl. Das reicht völlig für präzises Espresso-Mahlgut.
