Carimali Coffee Grinders: Current Models & Alternatives
Carimali’s official grinder brochure lists five current models: CGM58, CGE58, CGD58, CGM65 and CGD65. The earlier version of this article incorrectly centered the lineup on X011, C64 and C75. Those names appear in regional or parts channels, but they are not the current five-model lineup in Carimali’s official English brochure.
Carimali history
Carimali has produced professional coffee equipment since 1919. Its current business includes traditional espresso machines, fully automatic machines, grinders and accessories. The current grinder names align closely with function: M models are volumetric doser grinders, while E/D models are on-demand.
Current official Carimali grinder lineup
| Model | Burrs | Workflow | Hopper / doser | Size and weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CGM58 | 58 mm | Volumetric, automatic doser | 1 kg / 200 g | 194 × 430 × 308 mm; 8.5 kg |
| CGE58 | 58 mm | On demand | 1 kg / none | 194 × 430 × 308 mm; 7.3 kg |
| CGD58 | 58 mm | On demand | 1 kg / none | 194 × 430 × 308 mm; 7.5 kg |
| CGM65 | 65 mm | Volumetric, automatic doser | 1.4 kg / 300 g | 230 × 600 × 370 mm; 11.8 kg |
| CGD65 | 65 mm | On demand | 1 kg / none | 194 × 550 × 308 mm; 8.9 kg |
Carimali’s brochure lists all five at 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz. North American availability and certification must therefore be confirmed with a local distributor; a plug adapter does not convert voltage.
How the five models divide
CGM58 and CGM65 grind into a doser chamber. They suit traditional bars that move coffee quickly enough to keep the chamber fresh. CGE58, CGD58 and CGD65 grind directly on demand. The 65 mm models increase burr and hopper capacity for greater throughput. The official brochure pairs the line with Carimali Nimble, Cento, Bubble and DivaPRO espresso machines, but the grinders are not technically restricted to those machines.
What about X010, X011, C64 and C75?
X010 and X011 appear in some regional Carimali catalogs, including Carimali China, and continue to be sold by some distributors. C64 and C75 are documented in parts channels. Their existence is real, but their current status is market-specific. They should not be presented as the global current lineup without naming the region and source.
The same caution applies to older G1/GT, M Junior and M1/M3 families. They matter for parts identification, not for a current-new-model table. Used buyers should use the rating plate and serial number because similar housings can contain different motors, burrs and controls.
Comparable Espresso Outlet grinders
The Ceado E37S is a current on-demand commercial alternative. The Fiorenzato F64 EVO PRO W is the closest supported 64/65 mm-class comparison and adds grind-by-weight dosing. Browse the commercial grinder collection for other supported options.
