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?

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?

Nuova Simonelli Mythos Commercial Espresso Grinder buyer guide and original FAQs
This Mythos listing offers Basic and Plus variants of Nuova Simonelli’s established commercial espresso grinder. Mythos is best understood as a production system built around grind consistency and thermal management, not simply as a large burr specification.
Best-fit decision
It belongs in a café that can use its professional controls, maintain it properly and support the investment with beverage volume. Because Mythos generations and variants differ, the selected Basic or Plus configuration should be confirmed against the live listing and installation plan.
Comparison shortcut
Compare the newer GX family when gravimetric dosing or current C-Automation integration is required. Compare the MDJ when a simpler high-productivity on-demand workflow is enough.
Before ordering
- Confirm exactly what the Basic and Plus variants include before specifying the bar.
- Verify voltage, plug, dimensions, hopper clearance and qualified service coverage.
- Plan a cleaning and temperature-control routine that every shift can follow.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Basic and Plus?
They are distinct configurations on this listing. Confirm the included control and feature package with Espresso Outlet before ordering.
Is this the same as the Mythos GX?
No. GX is a newer family with timed and gravimetric versions; this page is for the listed Mythos Basic/Plus configurations.
Why does grind temperature matter?
Large swings can change espresso flow and flavor during service. Mythos was developed around maintaining a more controlled grinding environment.
Does Mythos grind by weight?
Do not assume so from the name. If weight-based stopping is required, compare the specific GX gravimetric listing.
What should be logged daily?
Record opening recipe, dose checks, setting changes, unusual heat or sound, and cleaning completion for easier troubleshooting.
