The MG044 grinds automatically every six shots and stops when the doser is full, so your barista never has to interrupt their workflow to refill the chamber. A 350W motor spinning at 1,400 rpm drives 64mm stainless steel flat burrs that produce a consistent, uniform grind at commercial speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003ch3\u003eSilenced Grinding Chamber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe defining feature of the MG044 is its silenced grinding chamber, which dampens the noise that typically fills a cafe every time someone pulls a shot. If your bar sits close to the dining area or you run a smaller space where grinder noise carries, the MG044 keeps the volume down without sacrificing throughput. The motor mounts on anti-vibration supports to further reduce sound transmission through the counter, and the result is a grinder that still gives your customers the reassuring sound of fresh grinding without the harsh buzz that drives conversation away from the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003ch3\u003eAutomatic Dosing with Manual Override\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe automatic six-shot cycle means the MG044 grinds a full doser load, then stops and waits until the barista pulls enough doses to trigger another cycle. An ON-OFF switch and micro-switch handle the start\/stop logic, and you can adjust the dose size to match your recipe. The 3.3 lb hopper holds enough beans for extended rushes, and adjustable dosing lets you fine-tune the output to match your portafilter basket. A stroke counter tracks doses dispensed so you can monitor usage and dial in your waste numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astra Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51174239764765,"sku":"MG044","price":1439.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/41091_mg044_launch_1a7064d8-5dc3-4b56-8dce-aea58bc875a9.jpg?v=1776328776","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/astra-mega-mg044-silent-automatic-espresso-grinder-64mm-stainless-steel-burrs-350w-motor-silenced-grinding-chamber","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
