Overview
The Melitta Calibra is Melitta premium home grinder, featuring a built-in scale for precise dosing and 39 grind settings from espresso to cold brew. The integrated scale adds convenience that is rare at this price point, automatically stopping grinding when the target weight is reached. The 40mm conical burrs deliver consistent results for daily home brewing, and the Melitta name carries over a century of coffee expertise. The Calibra is an excellent choice for households that want precise, convenient grinding with minimal effort.
The Melitta Calibra features a 40mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 450 RPM, a deliberately slow speed that minimizes heat buildup and preserves coffee aromatics. Grind retention is approximately 2.0g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $130, the Melitta Calibra is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. With a 375g hopper, it's designed for a traditional hopper-fed workflow. The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
The Melitta Calibra is weighing 3.0 kg, manufactured in Germany, powered by a 160W motor. Its footprint measures 160 x 255 x 373 mm (W×D×H).
