Features
5-Micron Stepped Adjustment: Effortlessly and precisely adjust from Turkish-fine to filter-appropriate grind settings and back again. This allows for easy switching between coffee types and brewing styles, without the hassle or waste of cleaning the grinder or purging and redialling.
Variable RPM: The EG-1 was the first grinder in the industry to offer variable RPM functionality, introduced back in 2015. Since then, it has continued to evolve, becoming smarter and more refined. A PID controller actively senses the hardness of the beans and adjusts the power delivery accordingly, ensuring the target RPM is achieved in real time with precision.
Simple, Straightforward Cleaning: Cleaning the EG-1 is quick and effortless. The grind chamber can be opened, thoroughly cleaned, and resealed in around 30 seconds. The top and bottom funnel caps form a clamshell-style chamber and are held securely in place by sets of strong rare earth (neodymium) magnets. It’s one of the easiest and cleanest grinders to maintain—on this planet, and possibly beyond.
Purge Button: New to the V3, the Purge button, located at the centre of the RPM dial, serves two key functions. When pressed from a standstill, it first spins the burrs in reverse before briefly running them at maximum speed. This helps dislodge foreign objects or unroasted beans that may have caused a jam, while also clearing out any remaining coffee grounds. When pressed during grinding, the button delivers a temporary burst at maximum RPM.
80mm Burrs: The EG-1 comes standard with Weber Workshops’ CORE burr set, magnetically mounted for both precision and ease of use. Designed to handle everything from filter coffee to espresso, these 80mm burrs eliminate the need for traditional screw holes commonly found in disc burr setups, removing a potential collection point for old coffee and simplifying cleaning.
Blind Shaker: Shaking helps reduce static, minimise channeling, and improve extraction yield with every espresso shot. It also streamlines workflow and keeps coffee grounds off the countertop. Invented by Weber Workshops, the Blind Shaker is now used by barista champions around the world.
Specifications of Weber Workshops EG-1 Coffee Grinder
Keeping Your EG-1 in Top Form
Burr Alignment
Commercial coffee grinders often hide the burrs deep inside, making it nearly impossible to inspect or adjust their alignment. Most manufacturers don’t offer any way to recalibrate after factory setup, leaving users stuck with potential misalignments.
The EG-1 solves this. Its burr set is fully accessible in under 20 seconds, no tools needed. Alignment adjustments are just as easy, requiring only a 4mm hex key and no disassembly.
Burr Replacement
To simplify burr replacement, the EG-1 features a reimagined mounting system that makes the process quicker and more precise than with traditional commercial grinders. With just a 4mm hex tool and approximately five minutes, users can replace and correctly align the burrs with ease.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The EG-1 is designed for fast, tool-free maintenance and cleaning, making it ideal for high-volume environments and precision-focused settings. Key features include:
Quick-access grind chamber
Opens in seconds without disturbing grind size or burr alignment
Clamshell-style design secured with high-strength neodymiummagnets for easy removal
Full access to burrs and wiper system for thorough cleaning
Removable upper dosing dish
