The Complete Guide to Anfim Espresso Grinders
Anfim has built its reputation in commercial coffee on a simple idea: precision flat burrs, engineered to grind consistently, shot after shot. CommercialEspressoMachines.com carries two Anfim models — the Luna ($1,424) and the Alba ($1,485) — both built around the same commitment to grind consistency that Anfim is known for. This guide covers what sets each model apart and how Anfim fits alongside the other grinder brands in our catalog.
Who Is Anfim?
Anfim is an Italian grinder manufacturer that has focused specifically on flat burr commercial grinders, building a reputation among cafes and espresso bars for reliable, precision-engineered equipment. Rather than offering a sprawling catalog, Anfim's lineup stays tightly focused on doing one thing well: consistent, professional-grade grinding for espresso.
Flat Burr Grinding: Anfim's Core Technology
Both Anfim models in our collection use flat burr construction — two parallel disc-shaped burrs that produce a highly uniform particle size. This is the standard burr geometry for serious espresso grinding, since particle consistency has a direct effect on how evenly water extracts through the puck. It's the same underlying approach used across most of our Coffee Grinders collection, including grinders from Mahlkonig and Macap.
Anfim Luna — Compact Precision for Lighter Volume
The Anfim Luna ($1,424) uses a 65mm flat burr set, sized for lighter daily grinding volume. It's a natural fit for a small coffee shop, a home espresso setup, or an office break room where the machine won't be running continuously through a rush. Pair it with any machine in our Home Espresso Machines collection for a complete lower-volume setup.
Anfim Alba — Stepping Up for Commercial Volume
The Anfim Alba ($1,485) steps up to an 80mm flat burr set. Larger burrs generally run cooler and grind faster under sustained use, which is why the Alba is the better fit for a busier commercial bar than the Luna. At just $61 more than the Luna, it's worth considering the Alba if there's any chance your volume will grow — the larger burr set gives you more headroom without a significant price jump.
Anfim vs. Other Grinder Brands We Carry
Anfim's Luna and Alba sit in a similar price bracket to entry and mid-tier flat burr grinders from our Mahlkonig, Eureka, and Macap collections. Where Anfim differs is its narrow, focused lineup — rather than offering grind-by-weight or filter-specific models, Anfim's two grinders keep things simple: reliable flat burr grinding at two burr sizes. If you specifically need grind-by-weight dosing or a dedicated filter/batch brew grinder, our Macap and Mahlkonig lineups are worth comparing alongside Anfim in our full Coffee Grinders collection.
Completing Your Setup
An Anfim grinder works independently of your espresso machine, so it pairs equally well with anything in our Espresso Machines collection or our Home Espresso Machines collection. Round out the setup with a coffee tamper to make sure the consistent grind coming out of your Anfim is matched by consistent tamping pressure going into the portafilter.
