Markibar Izaga W Grind-by-Weight Espresso Grinder

Markibar Izaga W Grind-by-Weight Espresso Grinder

Most espresso grinders dose by time, which means every time you adjust your grind size, your dose weight changes with it. The Markibar Izaga W eliminates that variable entirely with grind-by-weight dosing: it measures actual coffee output in real time rather than relying on a timer, so every dose hits your target weight regardless of adjustments you make throughout the day.

The Izaga W offers two main operating modes: Instant Dose and Pre-Dose. In both modes, coffee is ground into an internal weighing chamber and an automated trapdoor drops the dose into the portafilter once the target weight is reached. In On-Demand mode, the grinder starts grinding when the portafilter is inserted, weighs the grounds in real time inside the chamber, and drops the dose once the target weight is reached. In Pre-Dose mode, the grinder prepares and weighs the next dose in advance. When the portafilter is inserted, the trapdoor immediately opens and drops the dose, then instantly begins grinding and weighing the following dose. By the time you finish tamping, the next dose is already ready to drop. The internal weighing chamber features an innovative dual-gate system that separates the output paths for your two programmed doses after pre-grinding. When you select a dose, the Izaga W opens the corresponding gate: one for a single, both for a double, which means you can use pre-grind mode even in a workflow where there's variability between two doses. Combined with its thermally isolated grind chamber, Pre-Dose mode makes the Izaga W well suited for high volume use.

The protected load cell design is insensitive to vibrations and handling, making the Izaga W especially perfect for coffee carts and coffee trailers where traditional grind-by-weight machines couldn't reliably be used.

There are 8 innovative work modes and dose selection modes in the Izaga W, all of which can be combined to optimize workflow in just about any way you like. Be sure to watch our overview video for an in-depth overview of all modes.
