Mahlkönig turned 100 this year and to memorialize this occasion, we are sharing a special blog series highlighting each decade of our journey. Join us as we rewind through time and explore the rise of Mahlkönig to "The King of Grinders," along with the evolving landscape of coffee culture in the 1920s.
The brand name Mahlkönig, meaning “King of Grinders”, was first registered in December of that year, setting an intention for the excellence, precision, and passion our company is known for today.
Mahlkönig's first coffee grinder the Type 0, served as the predecessor to the EK0 (an ancestor to the EK43). The Type 0 marked the beginning of Mahlkönig's journey toward excellence in coffee grinding technology.
Coffee cultivation expanded during this period, especially in regions with favorable climates such as Central and South America, Africa, and parts of Asia. Brazil remained the largest coffee producer globally, followed by countries like Colombia and Ethiopia.
Espresso-based drinks were already known in Europe, particularly in Italy, but they were not as widespread or popular in other parts of the world during the 1920s.
