Mahlkönig X64 SD Single Dose Home Grinder

One Grinder. Every Brew.

If you like experimenting with coffee, a grinder that can do more than espresso is incredibly useful.

The Mahlkönig X64 SD is designed around that idea. It combines 64mm flat steel burrs with a true single-dose workflow, allowing you to change between coffees and brewing methods without having a large hopper full of beans sitting on top of the grinder.

Espresso in the morning. Pour-over after lunch. French press on the weekend.

The X64 SD is built to handle all of it.

And it does so without taking up much space on your coffee bench.

Why We Stock It

Mahlkönig is a name that needs little introduction in the coffee industry, particularly when it comes to professional grinding.

The X64 SD takes some of that experience and packages it into a home grinder that is considerably more versatile than a traditional hopper-fed espresso grinder.

The 64mm special steel flat burrs provide the foundation, while the stepless adjustment gives you the control needed to move between very different grind sizes. The single-dose design also makes switching coffees straightforward, which is particularly useful if you roast or buy a variety of specialty coffees.

For someone who wants one serious grinder rather than separate grinders for different brewing methods, the X64 SD makes a lot of sense.

Designed Around Single Dosing

Single dosing gives you much more freedom over how you use your grinder.

Rather than filling a large hopper and working through the same coffee over several days, simply weigh the amount you need and grind it when you’re ready to brew.

The X64 SD is designed around this workflow, with interchangeable top attachments allowing you to choose between the standard hopper, anti-popcorning lid, hopper extension or bellows depending on how you prefer to work.

Zero-Retention Design

Mahlkönig has designed the X64 SD to minimise retained coffee, helping ensure that the dose you put in is the dose you get out.

The included bellows can be used to purge the grinding chamber after each dose, making it particularly useful when changing between different coffees.

Features

64mm Special Steel Flat Burrs

The X64 SD uses 64mm special steel flat burrs, designed to produce even particle distribution across a broad range of grind settings. The result is a versatile grinder capable of handling everything from fine espresso through to coarse brewing methods.

Stepless Micron-Level Adjustment

The grind adjustment is completely stepless, allowing you to make very small changes when dialling in espresso or moving between brewing methods.

The adjustment dial is marked from 0–12, with a grind-size guide inside the lid providing a useful starting point for different brewing methods.

Espresso to Cold Brew

The X64 SD isn’t limited to espresso.

Its grind range covers:

• Espresso
• Moka Pot
• AeroPress
• Pour-over
• Filter coffee
• French press
• Cold brew

That versatility makes it particularly attractive for anyone who enjoys experimenting with different brewing methods.

Fast Grinding

Despite its compact size, the X64 SD is capable of a minimum output of approximately 3g per second for espresso, with an overall grinding range of approximately 2.5–6g per second, depending on grind size and coffee.

Quiet Operation

The X64 SD has been designed with reduced noise in mind, making it much more pleasant to use in a home environment, particularly first thing in the morning.

Interchangeable Top Attachments

One of the clever aspects of the X64 SD is the ability to change the top configuration depending on your workflow.

Included attachments include:

• Standard / anti-popcorning configuration
• Hopper extension
• Bellows

The standard configuration holds up to 30g, the hopper extension up to 100g, and the bellows configuration up to 80g.

Compact Footprint

At only 14.3 × 24.9 × 25.3cm, the X64 SD takes up surprisingly little bench space for a 64mm flat-burr grinder.

Who Is It For?

The Mahlkönig X64 SD is particularly well suited to:

• Home baristas
• Specialty coffee enthusiasts
• Espresso drinkers who also brew filter coffee
• People who regularly switch between different coffees
• Single-dose enthusiasts
• Home roasters
• Coffee lovers looking for one versatile grinder

If you mainly drink espresso and want a traditional hopper-fed workflow, a dedicated espresso grinder may make more sense. But if versatility and the ability to switch coffees easily are important to you, the X64 SD is a very compelling option.

Aura Bean Grinding Tip

The X64 SD gives you a lot of freedom, but don’t be tempted to chase a particular number on the grind dial.

Use the markings as a starting point, then dial in according to the coffee and your brewing method. For espresso, change the grind in small increments and keep your dose and yield consistent while you make adjustments.

If you’re switching between coffees, single dosing also makes it much easier to keep your workflow organised and your coffee fresh.

The Aura Bean Difference

A grinder should suit the way you actually drink coffee.

If you enjoy different coffees, roast levels and brewing methods, being locked into one grind range or a large hopper can become frustrating. The X64 SD gives you the freedom to change coffees and brewing methods without needing to completely rethink your setup.

It’s a particularly good fit for the home barista who wants to keep learning, experimenting and getting more from their coffee.
