Manuals & Guides
FAQ
What makes the HC-880 LAB different from a standard espresso grinder?
The HC-880 LAB is specifically designed for cupping and coffee analysis, not just espresso preparation. Its stepless grind adjustment, large 84mm flat burrs, and multi-purpose powder chute make it ideal for producing precise, consistent samples across a wide grind range - from coarse cupping grinds to fine espresso. Standard espresso grinders are often optimized for a narrow grind range, while the HC-880 LAB excels across the full spectrum needed for lab and quality control work.
Is the HC-880 LAB suitable for use in a cafe or only in a laboratory?
While it is purpose-built for cupping labs and coffee analysis environments, the HC-880 LAB is absolutely at home in high-volume specialty cafes, roasteries, and barista training facilities. Its high-capacity motor (over 450g/min), large hopper, and durable metal body make it a strong performer in any demanding commercial setting.
What does the 12-month parts warranty cover?
The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. It provides for replacement parts only and does not include labor, on-site service, shipping, or installation costs. Normal wear items such as burrs, belts, and seals are excluded. All warranty claims must be authorized prior to any repair.
How difficult is it to clean the HC-880 LAB?
The HC-880 LAB was designed with cleaning in mind. The built-in powder shaker helps evacuate all ground coffee from the grinding chamber, and the easily removable housing allows full access to the burr set and internal components. Routine cleaning between samples or at end of day is straightforward and does not require special tools.
Does the HC-880 LAB ship assembled and ready to use?
Yes, the grinder arrives fully assembled and ready to use out of the box. Simply place it on your counter, plug it into a standard 110V outlet, fill the hopper, and begin grinding. No complex setup or installation is required.
