Mazzer has created a grinder that helps baristas complete their
daily work with user-friendly solutions, new electronic features, and
Internet of Things technology to give more control over the final cup.

Luigi Mazzer began
developing coffee
grinders in 1948
from his precision-
mechanic workshop near Venice,
Italy with one goal in mind: to create
the best possible professional-grade
coffee grinders.
Since then, Mazzer has kept that
promise, evolving its range of grinders
and introducing innovative solutions to
respond to the needs of baristas all over
the world. This is embodied in its latest
model, the Major V.
“Quality, usability, and control are
the foundations on which we have
developed our entire range, and these
attributes are exemplified in Major V,”says Marco Zottin, Project Engineer
of the Mazzer Major V.
“Mazzer is moving fast to upgrade its
entire product line, adapting to the needs
of a fast-moving coffee community and
bringing the company to the next level.”
Marco describes the Major V as an
evolution of its classic Major model,
and the faster among the company’s flat-
burr grinders.
“It’s low retention, flexible, and
performs well during rush hour and
regular flow. It’s the grinder to have
when a coffee shop wants to make the
leap to the next level,” Marco says.
“Baristas want equipment that’s able
to help workflow, save time, and make
good coffee. The Major V delivers great
consistency and precision, enabling them
to have even more control.”
The Major V also incorporates
advancements from Mazzer’s more
recent models – the ZM, Robur S,
and Kold S – while adding extra
functionality. Marco says one of its key
features is a Grind Flow Control (GFC)
system to reduce electrostatic charge
while producing uniform coffee grounds.
“GFC is the Mazzer Lab’s
response to three main issues: to avoid
clumping to get more uniform coffee
grounds, reduce the electrostatic
charge that causes dispersion of coffee
on the counter, and improve dose
consistency,” Marco says.
The system is composed of
a removable aluminium outlet
insert equipped with extractable
interchangeable wire dampers. Thisallows for more control over the
flow of coffee throughout the chute,
preventing clumping instead of
crashing it.
The Major V also boasts a new
electronic control panel, that can
be set up in 19 different languages.
Through this panel, Marco says
baristas have control over dosing
times to 100th of a second, five
times more accurate than the previous
model. Baristas can also pre-program
three doses and pause functions to settle
the coffee and avoid spillage.
“The control panel is easy to use and
provides information on maintenance
updates, statistics, worn burrs alerts,
and dose countdowns,” Marco says.
“It tells the user when the burrs need
to be changed, and once the burrs are
replaced, the date and type can be saved
for reference.”
Another step forward Mazzer has
taken in embracing new technology is
the Major V’s Internet of Things (IoT)
connectivity.
“Nowadays, connectivity plays a
more and more important role in our
life and data is key to any business,”
Marco says. “That’s why Major V will
be equipped with an optional Wi-Fi
connectivity module.”
Mazzer’s IoT technology allows
grinder output to be monitored via the
Mazzer app and keeps all of a café or
chain’s grinders connected to ‘the cloud’.
Marco says this gives the barista, roaster,
café owner, and technician remote
access to the machine.A Major deal
“WE BELIEVE THAT KNOW-HOW IS
CRUCIAL AND NO MATTER HOW PRECISE
MACHINES AND TOOLS ARE, THE HUMAN
FACTOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.”
