Ceado Grinders & Hoop Brewer

Ceado makes coffee grinders, burrs and the Hoop brewer, and it still designs and builds everything in Italy. This page gathers the whole range we carry: the Life X and E6C Chameleon for home benches, the REV series and E37Z grinders for cafés and roaster labs, and the Hoop for hands-off manual brewing. Coffee Parts is the co-importer of Ceado in Australia, with exclusivity. Start with the buying guide below if you're choosing between models.

A grinder maker that also makes its own burrs

Ceado started in 1952, when Egidio Girardi was learning to build coffee grinders in Venice. The name is the family's Venetian nickname, and his eldest son Michele, now chairman, is the engineer behind every product the company makes. That matters more than heritage copy usually does, because Ceado makes burrs as well as grinders. The company's own line is that grinders have moved from the thing next to the espresso machine to a flavour design tool, and its motto, Think strong, work better, is about reliability under a barista's daily workload.

Why retention is the thread through the range

Colin Harmon, in What I Know About Running Coffee Shops, describes the grind as the resistance that sets how fast water flows and how far a shot extracts. The answer across this range is to keep that grind clean. The REV Zero WAM targets zero retention so each dose reflects the bean in the hopper; the Ceado E37Z-Naked aims for true zero retention across espresso and filter; the Life X uses XB50 burrs, 50mm blind burrs in high-grade steel, for low retention and fewer fines, with a flap design that cuts static. If you rotate beans, that is the spec to care about. Browse the full line-up in our single dose grinders, or see the café models in the commercial grinder range.

Which Ceado is right for you?

Start with two questions: how many coffees you make, and whether you change beans often. Then match the dosing style. Time-based dosing is fast and familiar; the WAM (Weight Adjustment Module) weighs each dose for gravimetric Precision.

One grinder for everything at home: Life X. A compact multi-purpose grinder built on the brand's commercial know-how, it ships with two interchangeable kits: a hopper for automatic dosing and a single-dose kit with funnel, air pump and cup. It handles espresso, pour-over and French press.

Espresso and filter with simple control: E6C Chameleon. Aimed at home baristas who switch between espresso and pour-over and want tidy single dosing.

Zero retention for home or café: E37Z-Naked. The Ceado single dose grinder for baristas who want a clean workflow and repeatable results across espresso and filter.

Cafés pouring classic espresso blends: REV Steel, balancing body and clarity with time-based dosing. Choose the REV Steel WAM if you want each dose weighed.

High-volume service: REV Titan, built for heavy workloads with time-based dosing and a smart start switch, or the REV Titan WAM for gram-precise dosing.

Specialty bars and roaster labs: REV Zero WAM. It targets zero retention, comes with the WAM as standard and also single doses.

High-turnover espresso: the Ceado E37Z-Barista RS, whose SweepOut system clears the grinding chamber after each dose for fresh shots and low waste.

Manual brewing without the fuss: the Hoop Coffee Brewer V2, a no-bypass radial infusion brewer. Water filters evenly through the bed, so you can brew hands-off or experiment with grind size, water temperature, agitation and filtration.

Home or café?

The Life X, E6C Chameleon and Hoop are home-first. The REV series and E37Z-Barista RS are café grinders, and lead times apply to several REV models, so check stock when you plan a fit-out. For more café options across brands, see our grind on demand coffee grinders. Most of the machines and grinders we sell are bench-tested in our Pagewood workshop before dispatch.

Ceado is the Qualified Grinder for the 2026 and 2027 World Barista Championships, starting in Panama in 2026. In our range, the REV Zero WAM and E37Z-Naked carry the WBC name. In April 2026, three-time Australian Barista Champion Hugh Kelly presented Ceado's three-part video series on the REV grinders, covering burr geometry, heat management, WAM dosing and Steady Lock.

Your complete Ceado setup

For the Hoop: check which version you own, then stock up. We carry the Hoop Replacement Filters V2 (pack of 360) and the original Hoop filters (pack of 350). The paper micro-filters are what keep the cup grit-free. A grinder that does a consistent coarse grind, like the Life X, suits the Hoop's recommended four-minute brew, and an electric gooseneck kettle makes repeat water temperature easy.

For any of these grinders: keep the burrs clean with grinder cleaning products, and if you single dose, single dose coffee tubes keep each weighed dose ready. Cafés running a REV should pair it with water filtration for the espresso machine it feeds.

I like brands where the person who engineers the product still has his name on the company, and Ceado is one of them. For most home baristas I'd start with the Life X: one grinder that covers espresso and filter without a fight. For a café pouring a house blend all day, I'd look at the REV Steel or REV Titan, and add the WAM if your team weighs every shot. And the Hoop is the brewer I'd hand anyone who says pour-over feels like homework.
