Overview
The Solis Scala Plus is a Swiss-designed compact grinder with 22 grind settings from espresso to French press. The conical burrs deliver consistent grinding, and the compact size fits in tight kitchen spaces. Solis brings Swiss precision and understated design to the budget grinder category. The Scala Plus is a reliable, well-built grinder for daily home use across multiple brewing methods.
The Solis Scala Plus 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 $100, the Solis Scala Plus is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. With a 300g 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 Solis Scala Plus is weighing 2.0 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, powered by a 130W motor. Its footprint measures 130 x 170 x 310 mm (W×D×H).
