Mahlkönig E64 WS Home review (2026)

Updated 2026-10-21 · Based on 7 cited sources.

Kaffeemacher calls it the most feature-packed grinder it has tested, with accurate dosing and fast dial-in, but notes unfinished software, high exchange retention and loud grinding.

1 of 1 reviewer recommends it

Mahlkönig E64 WS Home is an electric grinder that suits Espresso. From €995 delivered to the Netherlands, prices vary by country.

What are the pros and cons of the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home?

Pros

  • Tests show dosing within 0.067 g standard deviation, and a retailer says every 18 g dose landed within 0.1 g of the target.
  • A reviewer finds guided dial-in reached the target range in two to three shots on every coffee, and the grinder allows for its own exchange retention.
  • Tests show 18 g in 7.5 seconds, and a retailer says 7 to 8.5 seconds across three coffees.
  • Portafilter recognition picks a saved recipe from the portafilter's weight, and a reviewer says no other grind-by-weight grinder in its class offers it.
1 more
  • The grind setting moves by motor in micron steps, and a reviewer notes one micron changes shot time by hardly a second.

Cons

  • Tests show 4.1 g total retention, 3.8 g temporary and 0.3 g permanent, noticeable for home use.
  • Tests show 85.1 dB, while the maker calls it whisper-quiet.
  • A reviewer finds the software not yet mature, with a 30-second boot, input lag and saved recipes that are sometimes not applied.
  • At the time of the test the software capped the dose at 19 g and the brew weight at no less than 40 g for a double, and the control buttons feel slightly flimsy.

Who it suits

Best for

  • Espresso drinkers who want grind-by-weight dosing
  • Beginners who find dialling in hard
  • People who use one coffee at a time
  • Buyers who want an electronic micron grind setting

Skip if

  • You swap beans often and want a single-dose grinder
  • You brew mostly filter or pour-over
  • You want a quiet grinder

What do owners say about the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home?

  • Mixed on consistency. One CoffeeSnobs poster who tried a friend's E64 WS found its components less impressive than its simple display, and says the friend is unhappy with the consistency after more than 3 kg.
  • Accurate doses, no static. One owner calls it stellar, with doses consistently within 0.1 g, no spraying or static and an intuitive screen.
  • Recipe wizard far off. The same owner says the wizard suggested 36 microns where they ended at 150, even after zero-point calibration.

Is the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home a single-dose grinder?

No, it uses a hopper that holds beans.

Is the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home good for espresso?

Yes. We rate the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home as a good fit for espresso. Best for: Espresso drinkers who want grind-by-weight dosing. kaffeemacher.de lists 85 to 105 microns after zero calibration for espresso.

Is the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home good for pour over?

Only with limits. We rate the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home as a limited fit for pour-over: it can do it, but it is not what it does best. It suits Espresso better. Skip if: You brew mostly filter or pour-over.

Can it be used as a single-dose grinder?

No. Kaffeemacher calls it a hopper-fed grind-by-weight grinder and says about 4 g must be purged when you change beans.

It works without one. Grind by Sync needs the Mahlkönig Sync Scale or a compatible machine, and a retailer says using it fully means buying the scale as well.

Why do retention figures differ?

Kaffeemacher measured 4.1 g in total, mostly exchange coffee that comes out with the next dose. A dealer's first-impressions post gives 0.8 g without saying how it was measured.
