Product Description
The C-Automatik 54 is ECM's entry-level on-demand grinder, built to pair with their home espresso machine range without requiring the counter space or budget of a larger unit. At 130mm wide it fits comfortably next to an Appartamento or Classika, and the 54mm flat steel burrs produce a consistent espresso grind without the heat buildup associated with smaller, faster-spinning burrs.
Three operating modes cover the main ways home baristas actually grind coffee. Select mode grinds a timed single or double dose at the press of a button. Barista mode activates the grinder while the portafilter is locked in and stops automatically when it is removed, giving you hands-free operation for a cleaner workflow. Single Dose mode grinds for as long as the button is held, useful when dosing by weight rather than time. Grind adjustment is stepless via a precision worm gear, which gives more fine-tuning range than stepped adjustment systems.
This listing includes a bonus ECM Tamp Station, which keeps the tamping process tidy and consistent alongside the grinder. Auspresso stock this grinder as part of their ECM range and can advise on pairing it with a compatible machine.
