Types of La Cimbali coffee grinder
The Italian manufacturer La Cimbali has made over the years a variety of coffee grinder models. Which can be of various types. There are 2 main categories, that is the Doser coffee grinder and the On demand coffee grinder.
On demand grinder
The on demand coffee grinder is a type of coffee grinder which is more common the last 10-15 years. This is also the case with La Cimbali. With models such as the Magnum on demand, Cimbali Elective and the Cimbali G50.
But what makes a on demand grinder different then a doser grinder? Well a on demand grinder only grinds the coffee that you need at that moment, so your espresso will always be fresh.
Doser coffee grinder
The doser coffee grinder is the oldest type of coffee grinder. In this case the grinder grinds a certain amount of time to fill the doser on the front of the grinder. By pulling the dosing lever the coffee will fall out of the doser. The grinder does register this how often this happens and will start grinding after a certain amount of pulls. Examples of La Cimbali coffee grinders of this are the Cimbali Conik and the Cimbali Cadet.
