Mahlkonig EK43T Turkish Coffee Grinder

A Mahlkönig EK43T built specifically for Turkish coffee, with 98 mm burrs on a 1300 W motor, a 1500 g hopper, weighing 24 kg. The T designation is not cosmetic: Turkish coffee needs a grind far finer than espresso, closer to powder, and this model carries burrs cut to reach it where a standard EK43 cannot.

Who it suits

For Arabic and Turkish coffee houses, speciality roasters serving the Gulf market, and cafes offering Turkish coffee properly rather than as an afterthought. This is a serious commercial machine at 24 kg. A venue serving a few Turkish coffees a day does not need it; one built around the category does.

Common questions

How is Turkish grind different from espresso?
Far finer, closer to a powder, because the coffee is boiled with the water rather than having water forced through a bed. A standard espresso grinder cannot reach it.

Can a standard EK43 do Turkish grind?
Not properly. The T variant carries burrs cut specifically for that fineness, which is the whole reason the model exists.

How much does the hopper hold?
1500 g, which is generous and suits sustained service in a dedicated Turkish coffee operation.

Is it single phase?
Yes, 200-240 V single phase despite the 1300 W motor, so installation is straightforward.
