FM Yoda 120 Conical Burr Coffee Grinder White

The FM Yoda 120 is a conical burr grinder with 120 mm burrs and a variable 100-700 RPM speed range, drawing 400 W on 220 V. Two numbers define it: burr diameter and RPM control. Large 120 mm conical burrs cut rather than crush, producing a narrower particle distribution, and low RPM keeps the grounds cool so the aromatics survive to the cup.

Who it suits

Aimed at speciality cafes and roasteries where grind quality is the product, not just a step in it. Variable speed lets you slow the burrs for light roasts and filter grinds where heat damages delicate aromatics. A high-street cafe pulling standard espresso all day will not hear the difference and can spend less on a fixed-speed grinder.

Common questions

Why does burr size matter?
Larger burrs grind more coffee per rotation with less heat build-up and produce a more uniform particle size, which makes extraction more even.

What does variable RPM actually change?
Lower speed generates less heat and less fines. For light roasts and filter coffee that preserves aromatics; for high-volume espresso, higher speed grinds faster.

Conical or flat burrs, which is better?
Neither is strictly better. Conical burrs are often described as giving more body and texture, flat burrs more clarity. It is a flavour preference, not a quality ranking.

Is it heavy enough to stay put on a counter?
At 23 kg it is substantial and does not move during use, which also helps damp vibration.
