Steel conical burrs
The grinder uses 48 mm precision-steel conical burrs, ground on a five-axis CNC machine. This manufacturing process allows the burrs to be made precisely; their role is to help produce an even, consistent grind.
Consistent particle size is useful when making coffee repeatedly: it makes it easier to use the same setting and adjust it based on the result.
Grind size adjustment
A rotating ring adjusts the grind across 36 settings. The finer settings are intended for Turkish coffee, while coarser settings can be used for filter coffee or pour over. The same grinder can therefore serve several brewing methods, though the setting should be adjusted to suit the coffee and the desired result.
What changed from earlier models?
The G5A builds on HiBREW’s G5 grinder series. Compared with previous versions, it has more precisely CNC-ground conical burrs, along with revised mechanics and materials. The changes are intended to improve grinding precision and contribute to consistent results and durability, although the available description does not detail the specific differences between individual models.
Hopper and power supply
The hopper holds 50 g of coffee beans, a capacity suited to grinding smaller amounts at home. For a larger batch, you may need to refill it.
The grinder is designed for an AC 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz power supply. Mains voltage varies by market, so check both the local supply and the plug type before connecting it.
Antistatic treatment and air purge
Antistatic treatment and an air purge help limit the amount of ground coffee retained inside the grinder. In practice, this may make cleaning easier and reduce the coffee left inside after grinding.
The model is said to discharge up to 99.8% of the ground coffee from the grinding chamber. The conditions under which this figure was achieved are not stated, so it should not be taken as a guaranteed result for every use.
