Product details
Wendougee ARES — Key Features
Grind Performance
– 90mm titanium-coated flat burrs. Larger burrs than the 75 – 83mm flat-burr grinders typical at this tier. Titanium coating extends burr life to approximately 1 ton of coffee, or around 60,000 cups before replacement.
Variable RPM (200 – 1000). Adjust burr speed to suit the brew method — lower for filter, higher for espresso throughput during peak service.
Grind speed up to 4.8g per second. One of the fastest grind rates available in a 90mm commercial grinder, suitable for high-volume bars.
Electric micro-adjustment. Fine-tune grind size from the touchscreen with stepped electric adjustment, no manual collar.
Dosing and Accuracy
– Gravimetric dosing (±0.2g). A built-in scale sensor measures every dose by weight rather than time. This eliminates dose drift as bean weight changes through the hopper.
9 programmable cup presets. Save dose recipes for different drinks, blends, or shifts and recall them from the touchscreen.
Automatic portafilter recognition. Single, double, and naked portafilters are detected automatically, reducing dosing errors during service.
Hands-free grinding with height-adjustable holder. Place the portafilter, step away, return to a completed dose. Holder height adjusts to fit any portafilter format
Smart Controls and Connectivity
– 5-inch IoT touchscreen. Direct control of grinder settings, dose recipes, and diagnostics.
Real-time diagnostics. Track burr wear, motor health, and grinder performance to schedule maintenance before failures.
Over-the-air software updates. New features and refinements arrive without a service visit.
Wendougee espresso machine integration. Pairs with compatible Wendougee espresso machines for synchronised settings between grinder and group head.
Motor and Build
– Brushless variable-speed motor only on ARES-90B (400 – 650W). Brushless motors run cooler, last longer, and give precise speed control compared to traditional grinder motors. Power varies by model configuration.
Anti-vibration construction. Stable performance under sustained throughput, with reduced countertop vibration.
All-aluminium housing. Built for daily commercial use, available in black or white.
Operating noise: 75 – 80 dB. Quieter than typical commercial grinders in this category, though comparable to a busy café environment rather than a silent room.
Capacity
– 1500g transparent bean hopper. Approximately 150 espresso doses per fill. Transparent so bean level is visible at a glance.
Quick-release hopper. Detach for cleaning, bean swaps, or single-dose service without tools.

Display & Controls
5-inch IoT Touchscreen on the Wendougee Ares
The Wendougee Ares replaces the mechanical adjustment collar and time-dial dosing found on most commercial coffee grinders with a 5-inch IoT touchscreen. Grind size, dose recipes, motor RPM, and diagnostics are all controlled from the screen — and stored, so they survive shift changes, bean changes, and power cycles.

Built-in scale
The built in scale ensure quick and accurate dosing on the Wendougee Ares
Weight-Based Dosing with ±0.2g Accuracy
The Wendougee Ares grinds to a target weight, not a target time. A load-cell scale built into the dosing platform weighs each shot as it grinds and stops the burrs once the preset dose is reached. Stated accuracy is ±0.2g — about 1% on a standard 18g espresso dose, and well inside the threshold for shop-to-shop extraction consistency.
Sync
Wendougee Espresso Machine Integration on the Ares
Connected Grinder and Group Head, Not Two Separate Appliances
The Wendougee Ares connects directly to compatible Wendougee espresso machines, so the grinder and the group head share recipes and settings rather than running as two independent devices on the same counter. The pairing is IoT-based: once linked, both pieces of equipment treat the espresso workflow as a single system. so your brew time stay on the time that you set.

Yes. Vellutto's technical support covers initial setup, IoT pairing with Wendougee espresso machines, and dial-in guidance for specific bean and roast profiles. For new specialty cafés or multi-group setups, this is worth using rather than working through cold-start dialling alone.
What is the difference between the ARES-90B and 90B-DC?
The main differences between the models are:
ARES-90B: equipped with titanium-coated cutters and a brushless motor with adjustable speed (variable speed from 200-1000 rpm)
ARES-90B-DC: uses stainless steel cutters with a DC brush motor (non-adjustable speed)
What is the difference between the 90B-DC and the 90-DC?
ARES-90B-DC: uses stainless steel cutters with a DC brush motor (non-adjustable speed)
ARES-90-DC: also has stainless steel cutters with a DC brush motor, but with higher power consumption
Which is better: grinding based on weight or time?
Grinding based on weight offers several advantages over traditional grinding based on time:
Consistency: delivers more accurate, consistent doses, typically within 0.1-0.2 g of the target weight
Eliminates variables: grinding based on time can vary due to bean density, moisture content, and changes in grind settings
How accurate is the grind-by-weight system?
The Wendougee Ares features integrated weighing sensors with an accuracy of ±0.2 g, which is industry-leading for commercial coffee grinders. This grind-by-weight (GBW) system ensures consistent dosing by weighing the actual ground coffee rather than relying on a timed grinding cycle. The innovative weighing sensor is built into the base of the coffee grinder, allowing it to calculate dosing differences in real time.
How does automatic portafilter recognition work?
The Ares features automatic portafilter recognition technology that detects when a portafilter is placed on the grinder. The system can distinguish between single and double portafilters and automatically activates grinding while dispensing the preset dose for each type of portafilter. This hands-free operation improves workflow efficiency during peak hours.
What are the advantages of 90 mm grinding discs?
The 90 mm titanium-coated flat grinding discs (available on the ARES-90B model) offer multiple performance advantages:
- Longer service life: the titanium coating extends the service life of the grinding discs by a factor of 3-5 compared to uncoated steel grinding discs, enabling them to process up to 1 ton of coffee (~60,000 cups).
- Less heat build-up: the titanium coating provides excellent thermal stability, keeping the coffee grounds cooler and preserving delicate flavors.
- Faster grinding: 90 mm grinding discs can grind 18 g in about 2-3 seconds at maximum speed.
- Less friction: a smoother grinding motion results in quieter operation and more efficient performance.
- Superior consistency: the large diameter of the grinding discs ensures fast and uniform grinding for every brewing method, from espresso to filter coffee.
Can the Ares be connected to an espresso machine?
Yes, the Ares features Smart Inter-Link technology that allows it to seamlessly connect and work with compatible Wendougee espresso machines. Once paired, the system can automatically analyze the extraction results of each shot and adjust the grind parameters in real time for optimal performance. Compatible machines include the DATA-S, Mecha, SDragon, and Mantis II (some models require modification).
