Doser Mechanism for Quick Dispensing
The Anfim Special 450 Automatico is equipped with a doser at the front of the machine. This doser holds a portion of pre-ground coffee, allowing baristas to quickly dispense coffee as needed. The doser makes it easier to work in high-volume environments, as the ground coffee is always ready to use. To dispense the coffee, the barista simply pulls the lever on the side of the doser, and the coffee is released into the portafilter placed beneath the dosing hole.
Square Hopper Design
One unique feature of the Anfim Special 450 Automatico is its square-shaped hopper, which differs from the more common round hoppers found on most grinders. Coffee beans are placed in this hopper, and from there, they flow into the grinder. The distance between the grinding burrs can be adjusted by turning the upper burr holder clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve the desired grind size.
Grinding Burrs
The Anfim Special 450 Automatico uses flat grinding burrs that rotate in the left direction. These burrs are designed for durability and consistent performance in high-volume settings. The burr specifications are as follows:
- Outer diameter: 75mm
- Inner diameter: 43mm
These larger burrs ensure a consistent grind size, which is critical for optimal coffee extraction.
Portafilter Fork and Dosing
Once the coffee is ground, it is pushed into the doser, where it is stored until needed. The portafilter fork beneath the doser allows the barista to place the portafilter directly under the dosing hole for easy filling. The doser lever controls the amount of coffee dispensed, making it easy to fill the portafilter with the correct amount of ground coffee.
Conclusion
The Anfim Special 450 Automatico coffee grinder is a robust and efficient solution for commercial coffee preparation. With its 75mm flat burrs, square hopper, and doser mechanism, it ensures that ground coffee is quickly and consistently ready for use.
