Femobook A68 Electric Grinder

The Femobook A68 is a single-dose electric grinder built around large 68mm stainless steel conical burrs, paired with a high-torque 192W brushed DC motor running at just 60 RPM. The low speed minimises heat build-up and preserves aromatics, while the large burr size delivers fast grind times: roughly 15 seconds for an 18g pour-over dose and 30 seconds for espresso. Magnetic modular construction lets you fully disassemble the grinder by hand in minutes, and an independent motor and burr shaft design ensures the burrs stay precisely aligned regardless of motor load.

Yes, the Femobook A68 is a true dual-purpose grinder. The 68mm conical burr set has the range and precision to handle espresso, pour-over, French press and milk-based drinks equally well, with over 300 click adjustment across three full rotations and 0.008mm precision per click. The catch cup is sized to fit a standard 58mm portafilter directly. Reviewers consistently rate it as one of the best-value all-round grinders available, with espresso clarity and pour-over body that punch well above its price point.

The Femobook A68 offers over 300 stepless adjustment clicks across three full rotations of the dial, with 100 clicks per rotation and 0.008mm (8 micron) of burr movement per click. A steel ball positioning mechanism prevents drift during use, and the system retains a clear reference point on the scale so you can return to a known setting reliably. This level of precision is geared toward serious espresso dialling and competition-level pour-over work.

The Femobook A68 uses a chuteless design where ground coffee falls directly from the burrs into the catch cup, giving it effectively zero retention in normal use. The grind chute beneath the burr chamber rotates synchronously to clear residual grounds, and an internal brush helps dislodge anything left behind. For espresso grinding, a quick spritz of water on the beans (RDT) before grinding helps reduce static and grounds clinging to the chute.

The Femobook A68 and A4Z are aimed at different brewers. The A68 is the dual-purpose choice: 68mm conical burrs handle both espresso and pour-over, with a complex, sweet, full-bodied cup profile and the convenience of mains power for fast back-to-back grinding. The A4Z is filter only, fitted with ZP6 burrs licensed from 1Zpresso, and is the better fit if you brew exclusively pour-over and want maximum clarity, particularly with naturals and lighter roasts. If you need one grinder to do everything, the A68 is the answer.
