La Marzocco Swan Espresso Grinder

The La Marzocco Swan is a professional espresso grinder for cafés and high-volume setups where not only speed but also heat generation, dosing logic, and maintenance access play an important role. With its 83 mm conical burr set, it is significantly larger and more performance-oriented than La Marzocco’s compact Pico for home use. Its workflow was designed specifically for the bar and combines automatic activation with an interface whose menu logic is based on the Linea PB. This makes the Swan suited to businesses that view the grinder and espresso machine as one integrated workstation.

The conical 83 mm burr set operates at a selectable 100, 150, or 200 revolutions per minute and achieves approximately 2.5 to 4 grams per second, according to La Marzocco. A belt-driven design separates the burr set more effectively from motor heat, while the burr geometry is designed for efficient grinding with reduced friction heat. The grind size is continuously adjustable, allowing it to be precisely matched to the beans and extraction target. With a hopper capacity of around 1.7 kilograms, it provides enough supply for a professional workday or high numbers of shots.

Its dosing logic is particularly unusual: The Swan can detect and program the dose based on the rotational position or revolutions of the burr set instead of relying solely on a simple run time. The portafilter triggers grinding without physical contact through its conductivity, eliminating the need for a conventional mechanical portafilter switch. La Marzocco also uses technology to reduce static electricity, helping keep the grounds discharge cleaner during hectic bar service. This combination is aimed at a fast workflow with as few additional manual steps as possible.

The Swan also differs from many traditional commercial grinders when it comes to cleaning, as the burr set can be accessed from above and below without removing and realigning the burrs for cleaning. At around 25 kilograms and with its large hopper, it is clearly in a different performance class from a Pico or a typical home grinder. A different design would be more flexible for frequent single-dose bean changes, whereas the Swan makes the most of its construction when using one house bean for many drinks in succession. It is particularly well suited to professional La Marzocco setups where reduced heat transfer, a direct portafilter workflow, and maintenance-friendly large-grinder technology are priorities.
