Q50E is Quamar's grinder that grinds fresh, straight into the portafilter, with 54 mm flat burrs. Grind adjustment is stepped, in increments of 0.01 mm per degree. Programming is done from a display with mechanical buttons, with two programmable doses, single and double, set automatically or manually; a non-resettable total dose counter tracks usage over time.
The standard long portafilter fork has a rubberized non-slip tip and holds the portafilter without needing to be held by hand; a short fork is also available as an option. The body is aluminium, the standard hopper holds 1200 g of beans, with other optional capacities from 150 to 1500 g. It reaches up to 200 coffee doses a day.
It's built for moderate consumption, for example decaffeinated or specialty coffee, in coffee shops and roasteries that don't need to grind large volumes continuously; it covers espresso, moka, filter and V60.

Pros and cons
In favour
Worth knowing
- Built for moderate consumption, up to 200 doses a day: higher volumes need a grinder sized for that source

Recipes this grind covers
All recipes →Chosen from the brew methods the manufacturer declares it covers, not from the category.
Espresso
Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
- Dose
- 7 g
Ristretto
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
- Dose
- 7 g
Cappuccino
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
- Dose
- 7 g
Caffè macchiato
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
- Dose
- 7 g
Caffè americano
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
- Dose
- 7 g
Moka pot coffee
The moka is not dosed in grams: it is dosed by volume. Water up to the valve, funnel filled level, never tamped.
