The Nuova Simonelli Mythos commercial espresso grinder is built for café bars that need fast, repeatable on-demand dosing and precise micrometric grind adjustment. This product page includes two configurations: Mythos Basic and Mythos Plus. Both use 75mm burrs and a programmable electronic interface; the Plus adds titanium-coated burrs and an integrated tamper.
Best fit: established coffee shops, restaurants, and mobile coffee programs that want a durable primary espresso grinder with hands-free portafilter support. Choose the configuration around your tamping workflow rather than assuming the higher-priced model is automatically the better fit.

How to choose the right configuration
Select Basic when your shop already has a tamping process the staff likes, especially if you use a dedicated automatic tamper. Select Plus when counter space and task consolidation matter and you want the tamper integrated into the grinder station. In either case, plan a separate grinder for decaf or a second espresso and size the full bar around peak-hour drinks.
This is a commercial hopper grinder, not a low-retention single-dose grinder. Dial-in should include a controlled purge after grind changes, a defined basket dose, and a beverage-yield target measured on a scale.

About Nuova Simonelli
Nuova Simonelli builds commercial espresso machines and grinders for cafés, restaurants, and hospitality operators. Mythos became especially influential in specialty coffee because it treats the grinder as a primary production tool rather than an accessory to the espresso machine.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Mythos Basic and Plus?
The Plus uses titanium-coated burrs and includes an integrated tamper. Basic uses stainless-steel burrs and is intended for a separate tamping workflow.
Is Clima Pro included on this product page?
No. The selectable configurations on this listing are Basic and Plus.
Does Mythos replace the need for a scale?
No. Timed dosing should be checked by weight during dial-in and periodically through service.
Is a second grinder necessary?
Most cafés need another grinder for decaf or a second espresso, and it also provides useful backup capacity.
