Compared with the other 98mm options
Roast range
Grind size moves the main peak left or right. Uniformity describes how narrow that peak is. Different burrs can need different grind settings.
Example curves, not measurements of SSP burrs. Study
Uniformity describes how similar the main particle sizes are.
Unimodal literally means one peak. In coffee discussions, it is also used for low-fines burrs, rather than a guarantee of no fines.
HU stands for High Uniformity. It is also a specific burr name, not a guarantee that it has the narrowest spread of every option.
Compatible options selected by our team
SSP 98mm flat burrs for the Mahlkoenig EK43 and EK43 S and the Option-O Lagom P100. Pick the burr (cut) first, then the coating. At 98mm the cut names do not mean what they do at 64mm, so read these rather than going by name.
Lab Sweet (LS). Espresso and filter. The sweet, easy going cast option, and a standout for medium and darker espresso.
High Uniformity (HU). Modern light roast espresso at normal ratios, with sharp, punchy acidity. Less forgiving of mistakes, and divisive for filter. This is the burr Option-O fits to the Lagom P100.
BP (Cupping / Batch). Sold by SSP as its cupping and batch brew burr, and formerly called ULF. Owners describe it as the more blended, textured option, easy to get a sweet cup from, and good for filter and long ratio (1:3) espresso. It takes a long time to season.
Low Uniformity (LU). Filter first, plus fast, turbo style espresso.
Brewing. Filter only, with the most clarity of the 98mm range. It shows up every flaw in the roast, so it is at its best with well roasted washed coffees.
Mahlkonig OEM Premium Cast Steel. Mahlkonig's own all round cast set, uncoated, 620g, rated to about 6,000kg.
Bigger burrs take longer to settle in. Owners report 10 to 30kg of coffee before the cup is at its best.
Choose the cut first. SSP suggests Red Speed (TiAlCN) for espresso and Silver Knight for filter. Owners who have compared both mostly say the cut makes the bigger difference. Both are rated for roughly 4,000 to 5,000kg of coffee.
A straight swap for the stock 98mm burrs. Not for the Lagom 01 with the 102mm blind carrier (that takes our SSP 102mm Blind Burrs), the Kafatek Monolith Flat MAX, or the Ditting KR1203 and KR1403, which use larger burrs. Have an EK Omnia? Ask us first.
