The Upper Crust
While HeyCafe is a newer, potentially lesser known name than many coffee grinders that are currently at the top of the market, it does share a parent company with many of those same grinders. HeyCafe’s parent company, Hemro, is the manufacturer for some of the best grinders in the world, including Anfim, Ditting, and Mahlkonig. In fact, the HeyCafe HC-880 Lab Retail is the exact same grinder as the well-loved Mahlkonig GH2, but with HeyCafe's branding. While the HeyCafe lineup does boast more affordability, you can rest assured that it comes with the same promise of high-quality and delivery that the coffee community has come to know and expect from some of the best grinders available on the market today.
Performance Above All Else
Burrs are always going to be one of the most important aspects of any grinder, and in the HeyCafe HC-880 Lab Retail, you’ll find vertical, 84mm flat, hardened steel burrs with an impressively long lifespan of 2200+ pounds of ground coffee. These burrs are couple with a stepless grind adjustment wheel with a clear, easy-to-read markers for precise grinding from Turkish coffee all the way up to cold brew settings. Rounding out the internals of the HC-880 Retail is a quiet, high-powered motor to ensure that all of your grinding needs are met, whether it be in a cafe, roastery, or pop-up coffee cart. The HeyCafe HC-880 Lab Retail, with its vertical burr set, integrated chute clamp and knocker, is also suitable for grinding into small bags and single-dosing, minimizing retention and making it incredibly versatile.
Simple & Elegant Aesthetics
When choosing a new grinder, aesthetics will always play a large role is the final decision. That’s why HeyCafe offers the HC-880 Retail in several colorways like black, silver, and white with a modern, simple form factor to ensure that this grinder is well-suited to any environment. Directly above the grounds chute, you’ll find a simple, easy-to-read adjustment dial with corresponding grind settings, so you’ll never have to guess where you last set your grinder or waste valuable time and coffee to dial in for your desired brewing style. Finally, the HC-880 Lab Retail’s outer housing can be easily removed for quick cleaning and simple maintenance. This isn’t a feature we see on many commercial, bulk grinders, but it is a most welcomed addition.
