Single dosing on the ECM S-Manuale 64

The S-Manuale 64 runs 64 mm stainless steel burrs from a 450 W motor, with stepless wormgear adjustment for fine control of the grind. Its standard bean hopper holds 500 g, with a 1 kg hopper offered as an option. Total height is around 16.5 inches, which is deliberate — it fits under a standard 18 inch overhead cabinet.

That detail tells you who buys it: people putting a serious grinder into a domestic kitchen.

Why the hopper is the wrong shape for that

A kitchen grinder gets used across whatever coffee is in the house that week. 500 g of one bean above the burrs works against that, and has to be emptied every time you switch.

This hopper replaces it so each dose is weighed in on its own. Grind, then press the silicone bellows to push grounds out of the burr chamber and chute rather than leaving them to carry into the next dose. Given the S-Manuale’s wormgear lets you make very small grind changes, being able to clear the chamber between test shots makes dialling in considerably less frustrating.

Version 3

Every unit we ship today is Version 3. The bellows is a custom branded, factory moulded silicone part — it is no longer 3D printed, as our earlier versions were.

How it is made

• 3D printed: lid, lid lock ring, connector, air-leak prevention gasket
• Factory machine moulded: silicone bellows

Materials

• Lid, lock ring, connector: PETG hard plastic
• Air-leak prevention gasket: TPU — material info

Fitting

This hopper is made for the grinder named on this page. Fit tolerances vary between units and production runs, so minor adjustment may be needed to seat it perfectly on your grinder. Every unit is covered by our 2 year warranty.
