HAMBURG, Germany — Mahlkönig, the iconic German brand and global leader in coffee grinding innovation, proudly announces the launch of the Mahlkönig Xenia, the company’s first-ever home espresso machine. This release marks a significant milestone in Mahlkönig’s evolution, completing its home product ecosystem and delivering a seamless, professional-grade espresso experience directly to home baristas.
Mahlkönig, the “King of Grinders” for over 100 years, has acquired Xenia Espresso to re-launch the acclaimed Xenia espresso machine with new, enhanced features. The new Mahlkönig Xenia is a reimagining of the original — now elevated with Mahlkönig’s renowned precision engineering and cutting-edge technology.
Launched alongside the Xenia is the all-new Mahlkönig E64 WS grinder, which connects directly to the espresso machine and brings Mahlkönig’s industry-leading Grind-by-Sync technology to home baristas for the first time.
Precision Meets Everyday Simplicity in the Mahlkönig Xenia
Designed for both serious espresso enthusiasts and everyday coffee lovers, the Mahlkönig Xenia combines intuitive controls with high-end features, including:
- Dual boiler system with industry-leading 3-point heating and intake heater for unmatched temperature stability
- Barista-grade shot control, including pressure profiling, flow and temperature control, and integrated scales
- Powerful steam performance, delivering up to 1.8 bars of pressure — 50% more than most home machines
- Grind-by-Sync technology, enabling the machine and grinder to automatically adjust for perfect extractions
“The goal of Xenia has always been to rethink espresso technology from the ground up,” said Holger Dreissig, founder of Xenia Espresso. “With Mahlkönig’s innovation and engineering behind it, the new Xenia delivers unprecedented control, consistency, and simplicity for the home barista.”
Introducing the Mahlkönig E64 WS: The Grinder That Thinks With You
Launched alongside the Mahlkönig Xenia, the Mahlkönig E64 WS is the first grinder to bring Grind-by-Sync to the home. Built for precision, the E64 WS features Grind-by-Weight technology accurate to a tenth of a gram, along with electronic grind adjustment for maximum control and repeatability.
When synced with the Mahlkönig Xenia, the grinder automatically adjusts grind settings if extractions drift from target parameters — ensuring every shot is back on target for optimal results.
Key features include:
- Grind-by-Weight technology accurate to 0.1g
- Electronic grind adjustment for precision and repeatability
- Grind-by-Sync functionality for automatic grind correction based on real-time extraction data
This intelligent system eliminates guesswork and delivers consistent, café-quality results with every shot — all from the comfort of home.
A New Era for Home Espresso
With the introduction of the Mahlkönig Xenia and E64 WS grinder, Mahlkönig sets a new benchmark for precision, innovation, and usability in the home espresso category.
“We’re shaping a future where grinder precision, espresso machine stability, and intelligent extraction control work seamlessly together in perfect harmony.” said Dr. Marcel Lehmann, CEO of Hemro Group. “By bringing Holger and the Xenia platform into the Mahlkönig family, we’ve created a product ecosystem that delivers professional-level performance to coffee lovers at home like never before.”
