LeBrew Industrial oven with glowing interior, likely used for heat treatment or metalworking.

DC53 tool steel, properly heat treated.

The Cr8Mo2SiV alloy is electroslag-remelted for purity, hardened to 60–62 HRC, and tempered three times around 1040 °C. Translation: the burr stays dimensionally stable as it heats up under sustained grinding, and the cutting edge doesn't roll over after a few months on the bar.

TiAlN conductive coating, ~3 µm thick.

Microhardness around 3000 HV. Thermal stability up to 800 °C. The coating cuts static, keeps the edge sharp longer, and shrugs off the heat and oils that wear standard steel burrs down.

Service life of 1,500 to 2,000 kg.

That's years of grinding for a serious home setup, or a long run on a low-volume café before sharpness starts to drift.

Parallelism and dimensional checks happen piece by piece. Particle distribution is validated against a reference profile on a CAMSIZER X2 before the burr leaves the line.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What's the difference between the Espresso, Sweet, and Filter burrs?

The geometry is the only thing that changes. Espresso burrs cut a fine, even particle with structure and body for shots. LeBrew Sweet burrs sit between espresso and filter — the rounded all-rounder, with sweetness and silky body. Filter burrs cut a cleaner, more uniform particle for pour-over and batch brew, with high clarity and minimal fines.

Will the LeBrew 64mm burrs fit my grinder?

They fit most 64 mm flat-burr grinders, including DF64 (V/E/N), Timemore Sculptor 064S, Fellow Ode v1 and v2, Ultimate HB64, Mazzer Super Jolly, Eureka Single Dose Brew, Lagom P64, Acaia Orbit, and many Fiorenzato models. Full list above. If your grinder isn't named, message us before you order.

How long do LeBrew 64mm burrs last?

Rated for 1,500 to 2,000 kg of coffee. For a home setup grinding 30 g a day, that's well over a decade before the edge degrades. Café throughput will burn through them faster, but they're sharp the whole way down rather than dropping off a cliff.

Do LeBrew Sweet burrs really work for both espresso and filter?

Yes. They're the closest thing in this set to a true single-grinder burr. You'll get a silky, sweet shot and a clean enough filter cup to keep most drinkers happy. If you primarily brew one method and care about peak performance, the dedicated Espresso or Filter burrs will outperform Sweet at that one job.

How do LeBrew burrs compare to SSP?

SSP burrs sit at the top of the aftermarket flat-burr market and cost more. LeBrew is positioned a tier below: similar engineering principles (DC53 steel, conductive coating, modern CNC), measurable improvement over stock burrs, and noticeably more affordable. Most people who upgrade from stock 64 mm burrs to LeBrew hear the change immediately.

Do I need to season the burrs before they taste right?

Plan on around 1–2 kg of coffee through them before they fully settle. The first few sessions will pull slightly differently as residual machining particles clear and the coating polishes through use. Keep a wider grind range during dial-in for the first few days.

Can I install them myself?

If you've taken your grinder apart before to clean it, yes. The burrs ship as a matched set, both sides drop into the carriers your stock burrs came out of. Follow your grinder manufacturer's disassembly guide and re-zero the grinder after install. If you'd rather have it done, we can recommend service partners in the EU.
