Rancilio Stile Grinder

The Stile is Rancilio’s latest addition to their impressive lineup. This ultra-compact coffee grinder is designed for espresso, but can also do filter brewing. Let’s dive into what makes it special:

Stylish and User-Friendly

The Stile boasts stylish looks and ease of use. Its compact design fits seamlessly into any kitchen or coffee nook. Whether you’re an espresso aficionado or a French Press fan, the Stile delivers precision grinding for every type of coffee preparation.

Two versions:

• The SD version, which we only recommend to those who like to single into the hopper, i.e. measure the beans add then grind. Scale recommended.
• The standard version adds a touch screen and 2 programmable times, with a third option of continuous grind.

Key Features:

1. On-Demand Grinding: The SD only offer one demand grinding, the Standard comes with two programmable doses, single and double shots. In addition a the standard has third option for continuous grinding.
2. Touchscreen Interface:  The standard version has a Touchscreen interface. Here you can program your doses directly from the intuitive touchscreen. Plus, it displays the last brewing time and alerts you when it’s time to replace the burrs.
3. Micrometric Adjustment: Fine-tune your grind by turning the ring nut on both sides of the grinder-doser.
4. Hands-Free Operation: Attach your portafilter effortlessly using the height-adjustable Hands-Free fork.
5. Safely and Easily Removable Hopper: The bean hopper is easily removable and doing so, retains all the beans in the hopper. At the same time, the grinder is disabled.
6. Flexible power cable position: Since the cable comes out the bottom, you can easily have the cable on either side or at the back.
7. Range Design: If you have a Rancilio Silvia or Silvia Pro or Pro X, the look is similar. Hence place the Stile next to your machine to spot the design language similarity.
