3.1 General characteristics of the different models
The La San Marco grinders-dispensers are professional equipment designed for grinding and metering cof-
fee beans. La San Marco S.p.A. manufactures four basic grinder-dispenser models: SM 91; SM 96; SM MK;
SM FK. They are essentially made up of:
• A painted aluminium housing 1. The size, shape and volume are identical for all models, except models
SM MK and SM FK, in which the standard housing is provided with a base 2 that contains the electrical
and electronic components.
• A hopper 4, made of transparent plastic material, positioned on top of the grinder-dispenser. The hopper
4,6 litre is fixed to the grinder-dispenser by a special screw 8. The hopper can only be removed with the
help of an appropriate tool. Inside the hopper there is a safety grid 7 that prevents the upper limbs from
accidentally coming into contact with the grinders.
• An electric motor on which the grinding unit is connected. On the grinder-dispenser unit, model SM MK,
an epicycloid reduction is connected between the motor and the grinding unit.
• A grinding unit. Model SM 91 and model SM 96 are equipped with a grinding unit with flat grinders of 64
mm and 84 mm diameter, respectively. Model SM MK has a grinding unit with one conical and two flat
grinders, while model SM FK has a grinding unit with conical grinders.
• A grind adjustment ring 12 with a release button 11. The top of the ring shows the grinding adjustments
possible. The ring is turned clockwise or counterclockwise to change the fineness of the ground coffee.
• A dispenser 13 designed to measure and dispense the ground coffee; it has an adjustment range from 5
to 9 grams or, in the increased dose configuration, from 6 to 10 grams. The amount of ground coffee
dispensed can be adjusted by operating on the control knob 15, located inside the dispenser.The ground
coffee is dispensed by pulling on the coffee dispensing lever 17. The presser 16, available on cylindrical
and conical versions, enables the ground coffee to be pressed down inside the filter cup.
• A support fork 18 for the filter cup.
• An electronic control unit that controls the coffee grinder start and stop. The grinding time can be pro-
grammed on the electronic control unit and the grinder-dispenser can be made to restart after a desired
number of ground coffee servings.
• An on/off main switch 3 with green LED.
