Profitec · Flat burrPro T64
A no-nonsense on-demand espresso grinder with 64mm flat steel burrs and a worm-gear stepless adjuster, built to sit next to a Profitec machine and grind fast, quiet, and consistent shot after shot.
The short version
This is a single-purpose espresso grinder: big flat burrs, a fast motor, and a worm gear that lets you creep the grind size in tiny increments without drift.
Accept that switching between coarse and fine takes real patience, because that same worm gear that gives you dial-in precision is slow to travel across a wide range.
Why people buy it
- 64mm flat steel burrs and a strong motor rip through a double shot in about 5-6 seconds
- Worm-gear collar gives genuinely stepless, drift-free micro adjustment for dialing espresso
Why they don’t
- The same worm gear that nails fine adjustment is slow and tedious if you ever need to jump from coarse to fine
The full tally
- 64mm flat steel burrs and a strong motor rip through a double shot in about 5-6 seconds
- Worm-gear collar gives genuinely stepless, drift-free micro adjustment for dialing espresso
- Programmable timed dosing to a tenth of a second with a shot counter/timer built in
- Compact 16.9-inch height clears most under-cabinet spaces, and looks right at home next to a Profitec machine
- The same worm gear that nails fine adjustment is slow and tedious if you ever need to jump from coarse to fine
- Time-based dosing, not gravimetric, so dose accuracy drifts as burrs season or beans change unless you re-check by weight
- Not a real filter-coffee grinder; this is an espresso specialist that leaves brew versatility on the table
What the community knows
Years of owner threads, distilled — well regarded.
Profitec's flat-burr grinder delivers genuine espresso capability and quiet operation at mid-premium pricing without the forum ubiquity or aftermarket ecosystem of Baratza/Fellow — solid engineering and parts availability anchor it, but the smaller installed base means less…

Worth knowing before you buy — Most owners wish they had researched the ecosystem depth difference before comparing it to Sette 270 or Fellow burr grinders on price alone.

Living with it
The part spec sheets skip: counter space, upkeep, and what owners learn later.
The honest note — Owners who want gravimetric dosing precision or single-dose zero-retention workflow tend to look at grind-by-weight options like the Eureka Mignon Libra 65 or single-dose 64mm-plus machines; those who outgrow the flat-burr clarity profile sometimes move toward larger commercial-class grinders (Mythos-tier) rather than swapping burrs, since no aftermarket burr scene exists for this model.

- Grinder cleaning kit — Brushes and grinder tablets keep retention and stale grounds in check.
Feed it right
Week one is dial-in — and stale beans will lose it.
Coffee more than a few weeks past roast won’t extract predictably, and a new grinder gets blamed for it. A balanced burr set: rotate origins freely — it will keep up.

Common questions
Is the Profitec Pro T64 stepless or stepped?
Stepless. It uses a worm-gear collar that lets you make extremely fine grind adjustments without click-stops, which is great for dialing espresso but slow when moving between coarse and fine.
Does the Pro T64 grind by weight?
No, it uses programmable timed dosing adjustable to a tenth of a second, not a built-in scale, so dose weight can drift slightly as beans or burrs change.
What size are the burrs?
64mm flat stainless steel burrs driven by a 450-460 watt motor.
