The Pinecone Foxtail is a Swiss industrial shop grinder for high-volume retail and production bagging. Its 120 mm flat steel discs span Turkish fine through cold brew, deliver approximately 2.4–2.7 kg per minute, and are rated for approximately 15–20 metric tons under the manufacturer’s test conditions.

Product Features

Output is approximately 2.4–2.7 kg per minute, with a recommended maximum of up to 350 kg per day.

120mm Flat Burrs

The 120 mm flat steel discs cover Turkish fine through cold brew and carry a manufacturer-stated laboratory life of approximately 15–20 metric tons.

Three-Phase Power

The U.S. Foxtail uses 208 V, 60 Hz, three-phase power with a 1,500 W motor and 1,400 RPM disc speed.

Modular Service Design

Pre-assembled grinding and electrical modules are designed for rapid module replacement to reduce service downtime.

Quick-Clean Upper Assembly

The removable upper assembly gives practical access to the grinding chamber for cleaning and routine service.

Bagging & Safety Integration

A 2.5 kg hopper, bag holder, vibrating plate, spout knocker, and overload protection support bulk-bagging workflow.

Our honest read

The Coffeeionado Take

Straight answers, before you buy.

Who's It For

  • Roasters and wholesalers preparing large coffee runs.
  • Retailers and self-service operations grinding bags to order.
  • Production teams needing Swiss-built, high-output bulk grinding.

It's Right For You If

  • You need roughly 2.5 kg/minute for retail bags, wholesale preparation, or production runs.
  • You have the required 208 V three-phase electrical service and can schedule the specified operating pauses.

Things to Consider

  • Current manufacturer technical material specifies a maximum cycle of 30 minutes on followed by a 10-minute pause.
  • The U.S. configuration requires 208 V, 60 Hz, three-phase power; it is not a standard 120 V plug-in grinder.
  • This is a bulk/retail bagging grinder, not an on-demand portafilter grinder.

Our Take

The Foxtail is true industrial shop-grinder hardware: fast enough for large retail and production runs, broad enough for Turkish through cold brew, and designed around bags rather than portafilters. Plan its use around the specified 30-minutes-on, 10-minutes-off cycle.

Pinecone Foxtail Industrial Coffee Grinder

The Swiss-built Foxtail is an industrial shop grinder for roasters, wholesalers, retailers, self-service stations, and high-volume bagging operations. Its 120 mm flat steel discs cover Turkish-fine through cold-brew settings and produce approximately 2.4–2.7 kg per minute.

Output and Duty Cycle

Pinecone lists a recommended maximum of up to 350 kg per day. Current manufacturer technical material specifies a maximum operating cycle of 30 minutes on followed by a 10-minute pause, so the daily rating should not be interpreted as nonstop production.

Bulk Workflow

A 2.5 kg hopper, bag holder, vibrating plate, and spout knocker support fast retail and production bagging. Grind adjustment is electronically controlled; dosing into the bag is not espresso-style timed or grind-by-weight dosing.

Key Specifications

  • 120 mm flat steel discs
  • Disc life: approximately 15–20 metric tons under stated test conditions
  • Output: approximately 2.4–2.7 kg/minute

Product FAQ

What type of burrs and grind adjustment does the Pinecone Foxtail Industrial Coffee Grinder use?

The Foxtail uses commercial-grade 120mm steel burrs designed for high-volume, consistent grinding, with stepped grind adjustment across 8 positions to dial in everything from espresso fineness through cold brew.

What is the hopper capacity and how fast can it grind (throughput)?

The Foxtail hopper holds approximately 5.5 lb (2.5 kg). Grinding output is about 2.4–2.7 kg per minute, and the manufacturer-recommended maximum is up to 350 kg per day with the required operating pauses.

Does it support dosing into portafilters or timed dosing for bulk dosing?

Does it support dosing into portafilters or timed dosing for bulk dosing?

How should I clean and maintain the grinder to keep performance consistent?

Daily: wipe the hopper and exterior, and brush out grounds from the chute. Weekly or monthly: run food-safe grinder cleaner through the burrs and remove the hopper to brush or vacuum the burr chamber. For deep cleaning or burr replacement, follow the manual's disassembly instructions. Always power off and unplug before servicing, and never soak the burrs in water.

How long do the burrs last, and are replacement parts available?

Burr life depends on bean type, roast level, and volume, but typical commercial burr lifespans run from several hundred to over a thousand kilograms of coffee. Coffeeionado stocks replacement burrs and common service parts directly, so you can order what you need and schedule service without going through a third party.

What are the power and installation requirements for the US model?

The US-configured Foxtail runs on 220-240V, three-phase power rated at 1430W / 5.7A. Because it's a three-phase commercial unit, professional installation by a licensed electrician on a dedicated circuit is required for a safe hookup.

What warranty coverage does Coffeeionado provide for this grinder?

Coffeeionado provides 24 months of parts coverage on this commercial grinder. Reach out to our team directly for any service or replacement-part needs.

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.
