Overview
The Monolith Flat Max takes the legendary Monolith platform and scales it up with massive 98mm flat burrs for even greater grinding performance. The larger burr set delivers faster grinding with less heat buildup, while the increased surface area produces outstanding particle uniformity. Like its smaller sibling, the Flat Max features Kafatek meticulous alignment system and near-zero retention design. The result is a grinder that combines the clarity and sweetness of the original Monolith Flat with the effortless power of commercial-size burrs. Built to order with the same artisanal care as all Kafatek products, the Flat Max represents the absolute summit of home espresso grinding. Expect months-long waitlists and a deeply passionate community of owners.
The Monolith Flat Max features a 98mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1200 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 0.2g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $3,800, the Monolith Flat Max is aimed at uncompromising enthusiasts and professionals who want the absolute best. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed) and stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The Monolith Flat Max is weighing 18.0 kg, manufactured in USA, powered by a 400W motor. Its footprint measures 160 x 240 x 420 mm (W×D×H).
