TWIST SD54 is Profitec's single-dose grinder: no hopper, but a bellow you pour the weighed beans into for each dose, a dosing cup with a built-in magnet, and a leveler that holds it in place under the coffee outlet. The burrs are steel, 54 mm, with continuous, click-free grind adjustment.
Beans are weighed in the dosing cup, poured into the bellow, and grinding is started; at the end, a few pulses on the bellow shake loose the last particles left in the chamber. The motor is meant for short cycles: about ten seconds of running calls for roughly eighty seconds of rest, since prolonged use heats up the motor. Cleaning is done with a damp cloth on the bellow and housing; the outlet spout cover also opens for cleaning with a brush.
The burrs are usually replaced after 400-500 kg of coffee ground, a job for an authorised service centre. It's a grinder for anyone who wants to weigh every dose and get it into the portafilter as fresh as possible, without beans sitting in a hopper.
