The Astra Manufacturing MG049 Espresso Grinder
The Astra MEGA MG049 is an on-demand espresso grinder that grinds fresh for every single dose at the push of a button, giving you the highest level of control over grind freshness in a busy cafe or restaurant. Unlike timed or batch-cycle grinders, the MG049 only runs when you need it, so every portafilter gets grounds that were whole beans just seconds earlier. Twin cutting, 64mm stainless steel flat burrs deliver a uniform particle size with reduced friction and heat exposure, preserving the volatile aromatics that make the difference between a good shot and a great one.
Programmable LCD Display with Independent Dose Control
The multi-function LCD display lets you pre-set programming for independently adjustable single and double doses. Once your barista dials in the grind time for each recipe, a single button press delivers the exact same dose every time. This takes the guesswork out of busy service windows when consistency matters most. The programmable system stores your settings, so shift changes and new staff do not mean starting from scratch on dose calibration.
Soundproof Chamber and Anti-Vibration Design
A soundproof grinding compartment surrounds the burr set, and the motor mounts on anti-vibration supports to cut down on the noise and vibration that travel through your counter. The combination keeps the grinder quiet enough for open-plan cafes where the bar is part of the customer experience. The 3.3 lb capacity bean hopper holds enough for extended rushes, and an extractable grounds collecting tray makes cleanup between blends straightforward.
