Powering Hundreds of Businesses Including:

The Mythos Basic is a high-speed commercial espresso grinder with 75 mm flat steel burrs, three programmable timed doses, and an integrated fixed tamper. Its 60 Hz specification is approximately 1,700 RPM and 20 kg/hour nominal productivity.

Product Features

Three Timed Doses + Manual

Store three timed portions for repeatable service and retain manual grinding for purging and recipe setup.

75 mm Flat Steel Burrs

Standard 75 mm flat steel burrs deliver approximately 20 kg/hour nominal productivity on the 60 Hz configuration.

Integrated Fixed Tamper

The built-in fixed tamper streamlines the grind-and-tamp sequence; unlike the Plus model, tamping force is not dynamically adjustable.

High-Speed 60 Hz Motor

The 60 Hz configuration operates at approximately 1,700 RPM for rapid commercial dosing.

Stepless Micrometric Control

Fine, continuous adjustment helps baristas maintain shot times as coffee and room conditions change.

3.2 kg Hopper

The large 3.2 kg hopper supports sustained café service with fewer refill interruptions.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • Busy cafés seeking a fast primary espresso grinder.
  • Bars that value an integrated fixed tamping step.
  • Operators choosing the Nuova Simonelli Mythos platform.

It's Right For You If:

  • You operate a busy espresso bar and want fast timed dosing with an integrated fixed tamper.
  • You want Mythos performance without paying for Clima Pro temperature control.

Things to Consider:

  • This model does not include the Clima Pro heater-and-fan temperature-management system.
  • Its integrated tamper is fixed; choose the Mythos Plus if adjustable dynamometric tamping is important.
  • The approximately 5 kg/day and 300–500-shot figures are planning estimates, not manufacturer warranty limits.

Our Take:

The Mythos Basic is about speed and an integrated workflow: grind, dose, and use the fixed tamper without adding another station. It is distinct from the adjustable-tamper Mythos Plus and the temperature-controlled Mythos Clima Pro.

What We'd Tell You In Store

How to Choose a Commercial Espresso Machine

How to choose a commercial espresso machine based on real volume numbers, peak hour output, and drink mix — not vague categories.

How to Choose a Commercial Grinder

Your espresso machine gets all the attention. The grinder does all the work. Every variable that determines shot quality — particle size, extraction evenness, dose consistency — starts at the grinder.

How to Design Your Cafe: Build Your Bar for the Rush

Design your café bar for peak volume, not average traffic. Equipment layout, station design, staffing ratios, and tools that remove steps — what actually matters during the rush.

Setting Up Your Commercial Espresso Machine Right

Water pressure, electrical specs, drain slope, filter flushing — what actually goes into a commercial espresso machine setup, and what gets skipped.

Product FAQ

What type and size of burrs does the Nuova Simonelli Mythos Basic Espresso Grinder use?

The Nuova Simonelli Mythos Basic uses large 75 mm flat burrs designed specifically for espresso grinding, providing very consistent particle size and excellent flavor clarity for high‑volume use.

How long do the burrs typically last, and how often should they be replaced?

Burr life depends on volume and bean hardness, but for a busy commercial setting they typically last around 600–1,200 kg (1,300–2,600 lb) of coffee. In a high‑volume café this often translates to roughly 12–18 months; in lower‑volume use they can last several years. Replace them when you notice slower grinding, more clumping, or a decline in shot flavor and consistency.

Is the Mythos Basic a stepless grinder, and how precise is the grind adjustment?

Yes. The Mythos Basic has a stepless, micrometric adjustment system that lets you make very small, precise changes to the grind size. This is ideal for dialing in espresso shots where fine control over flow rate and extraction is critical.

Is this grinder only for espresso, or can it also grind for filter coffee or other brew methods?

The Mythos Basic is optimized for espresso and excels in the fine grind range. While it can be adjusted coarser, it is not designed as a multi‑purpose grinder and is not ideal if you frequently switch between espresso and drip, pour‑over, or French press settings.

What types of settings is the Mythos Basic best suited for (café, restaurant, home use)?

This is a commercial‑grade espresso grinder best suited for busy cafés, coffee bars, and restaurants that serve a high volume of espresso drinks. Enthusiast home users can use it, but its size, power, and features are primarily designed for professional environments.

Does the Mythos Basic use timed or manual dosing, and can I control the dose easily?

The Mythos Basic is a timed‑dosing, on‑demand grinder. You can program dosing times for consistency and also operate it manually for purging or quick adjustments. It does not grind by weight; dosing is controlled by time rather than an integrated scale.

How fast is this grinder, and can it keep up with multiple drinks during busy periods?

The Mythos Basic is designed for high‑volume service. It grinds a standard espresso dose in just a few seconds and can keep up with continuous use during rush periods without overheating, making it suitable for busy cafés and restaurants.

Does the Nuova Simonelli Mythos Basic have a cooling fan or temperature‑control features?

Yes. The Mythos Basic includes an internal cooling system that helps stabilize the temperature of the grinding chamber. This reduces heat transfer to the coffee during heavy use and improves shot‑to‑shot consistency.

Do you ship to PO boxes?

No, we don't ship to PO boxes. Due to the size and weight of our equipment, we require delivery to a physical address where our carriers can safely drop off your order.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.

Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.

What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 90 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.

How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.

What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is the customer's responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.

Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be the customer's responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.

Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If the customer's location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain the customer's responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.

What to Expect on Install Day

Getting a commercial espresso machine delivered is one thing. Getting it actually running — plumbed, programmed, and pulling properly — is another. Here's what happens when the technician comes out.

Before the appointment: Site preparation will be confirmed before technicians make it out. Once your machine ships, we'll coordinate scheduling with you and assign a local certified technician. Before they arrive, make sure your space is ready: the machine's permanent location should be determined, your water line and drain access should be in place, and your electrical supply should match the machine's requirements. 

On the day The technician will handle the physical installation of the machine — positioning, water line connection, and drain setup. Once it's plumbed and powered, they'll run through the setup and basic programming: boiler pressure, shot parameters, and confirming that water flows correctly through the group heads and steam wands. Some basic training will be provided, they'll pull test shots to verify the machine is operating within spec.

After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.

Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
