Anfim Scody 2 Price

Last updated: October 2, 2026

The Anfim Scody 2 sits in an awkward middle ground for pricing: it’s too expensive to be a casual home upgrade, but significantly cheaper than Anfim’s titanium-burr shop grinders. If you’re looking at one, you’re probably deciding whether you actually need a 75mm commercial grinder at home, or if a smaller prosumer grinder will do the job for half the price.

Here’s what it actually costs right now, what that price gets you, and where the value breaks down for home use.

What the Anfim Scody 2 Costs Right Now

In the US, the Anfim Scody 2 typically sells for $1,150 to $1,450 new, depending on the retailer, finish (black vs. white), and whether you buy the version with the short 300g hopper or the full-size 1.8kg hopper. Most home users want the short hopper, which sometimes costs $30-$50 more as an accessory if it’s not included.

In the EU and UK, expect €1,100 – €1,400 / £1,000 – £1,300 including VAT. Prices are fairly stable because Anfim (now part of the Hemro Group alongside Mahlkonig and Ditting) sells through dedicated espresso distribution rather than big-box retail. You won’t see big seasonal drops like you do with home appliances.

Used prices are more interesting. A clean Scody 2 with under 2,000kg on the burrs often goes for $700 – $900 on the secondhand commercial market. Bars rotate them out quickly because they’re marketed as high-volume on-demand grinders, so low-hour units do show up. If you buy used, ask for a photo of the burrs and the total shots counter if enabled — that’s the only reliable wear indicator.

This is not a grinder you will find discounted on Amazon in the same way as prosumer home grinders. If you search for Anfim Scody grinder listings on Amazon, you’ll mostly see third-party importers at full MSRP or slightly above, often without warranty support. Authorized espresso parts dealers are almost always cheaper and include the 1-2 year commercial warranty, which actually matters at this price.

What That Price Gets You

The Scody 2 is a straight commercial grinder, not a prosumer design scaled up. The key specs that drive the price:

75mm flat steel burrs (hardened steel). Same diameter as the much more expensive Anfim SP II, but steel instead of titanium-coated. Anfim rates them for ~1,500kg before replacement. For a home user pulling 2-4 doubles a day, that’s 10+ years. For a cafe doing 15kg a day, it’s about 3-4 months.

Stepless grind adjustment with collar. It’s not the micro-stepped worm gear you get on an EK43 or a modern prosumer single-doser. You turn the collar, and it’s held by friction. It’s precise enough for espresso, but dialling between espresso and filter is slower than on a dedicated multi-purpose grinder, and you will lose your exact setting if you aren’t careful.

On-demand grinding with timed dosing. Two programmable timed presets plus manual. The timer is accurate to 0.1s, but like all timed systems, dose varies with bean weight in the hopper and humidity. No gravimetric (weight-based) dosing — you still need a scale if you want 0.1g consistency.

1,100W motor with active cooling. The motor is built to grind back-to-back without overheating in a busy bar. At home you will never hit thermal cutoff. The downside is noise and size: it’s 625mm tall with the large hopper, 230mm wide, 380mm deep, and about 14.5kg. It’s louder than any 58mm prosumer grinder and it dominates a kitchen counter.

Low retention for its class, but not a single-doser. Expect 2-4g retention in the chute and chamber without purging. With a 5-7g purge after a long idle, it’s manageable for a cafe. For a home user who single-doses and switches beans often, that’s wasteful compared to a modern low-retention grinder.

Scody 2 vs. Common Alternatives at This Price

The Scody 2 competes with heavy-duty prosumer grinders, not entry-level home grinders. This is where the trade-off becomes clear:

If you are buying for a kitchen and you switch between light roast filter and medium espresso, a 64mm single-dose grinder will waste less coffee and be easier to live with than the Scody 2, even though the Scody 2 will grind faster and stay cooler. If you pull 6+ milk drinks back-to-back every morning or run a cart/pop-up, the Scody 2 makes more sense than any of the prosumer options.

For most home buyers, looking at prosumer 75mm espresso grinders will give you a better match for noise, size, and workflow, while still getting the same burr diameter without the commercial footprint.

Real Ownership Costs and Failure Modes

The purchase price is only part of it. The Scody 2 is built like commercial equipment, which means parts are available but not cheap.

Burrs: Replacement Anfim 75mm steel burrs are $140 – $180 per set. You will not need them for years at home, but they are a real cost for light commercial use. Aftermarket SSP or similar 75mm burrs are available and often improve clarity for light roasts, but they run $220 – $280.

Retention and stale grounds: The first shot of the day will almost always be off if you don’t purge. If you pull one shot in the morning and one at night, plan to purge 4-6g each time. That’s about half a bag of coffee a month wasted if you don’t use the purge for filter or discard.

Clumping and static: The Scody 2 has a declumper, but with very fresh or very light-roasted beans it can still clump and create channeling. WDT (stirring the grounds) still helps. It’s not a flaw unique to this grinder — all fast 75mm grinders do it — but don’t expect clump-free perfection.

Grind adjustment drift: Because the collar is friction-held, vibration from the large motor can cause micro-drift over hundreds of shots. Check your collar lock regularly. If you use the grinder for both espresso and batch brew, take a photo of your espresso setting or mark it with tape.

Electronics: The display board and timer are the most common failure point after 3-5 years in commercial service, not the motor. At home this is rarely an issue, but out-of-warranty board replacement is $120 – $200 plus labor.

Who Should Buy It, and Who Shouldn’t

Buy the Scody 2 if: You need true commercial throughput at home, you run a small low-volume cafe, food truck, or office, or you found a verified low-hour used unit under $800. It’s also a good value if you already own a single-dose grinder for filter and want a dedicated, fast, timed espresso grinder that you don’t have to single-dose.

Don’t buy it if: You single-dose exclusively, you switch beans daily, you need quiet mornings, or your counter space is limited. A modern single-dose grinder in the $400-$800 range will taste just as good and waste less coffee, even if it’s slower. Be honest about workflow — speed only matters if you’re making 4+ drinks in a row.

For a purely home setup with 1-2 drinks a day, the cheaper option is usually fine. You are paying for thermal stability and speed you will never use. Put the $600 you save toward a better espresso machine or better burrs in a smaller grinder.

If you are building a home bar from scratch and want to compare total workflow options, browsing low retention single dose grinders alongside the Scody 2 will show you the real trade-off: convenience and low waste versus raw speed and durability.

Where to Buy and How to Avoid Overpaying

Authorized dealers like Seattle Coffee Gear, Clive Coffee, Espresso Parts, and European Hemro dealers usually offer the best price with warranty. Ask if the price includes the short hopper — some listings show the low base price with the tall hopper, then add $50-$80 for the short one you actually need at home.

Avoid paying over $1,500 new unless it’s a special finish. And avoid any listing that doesn’t clearly state whether the burrs are original Anfim steel — counterfeit burrs are common on marketplace sites for 75mm grinders.

If buying used, test grind time: a healthy Scody 2 should dose 18g in ~2.5 – 3.2 seconds. Much longer means dull burrs. Listen for a clean, even motor tone — a rattling or uneven whine suggests a worn lower burr carrier. Both are fixable, but negotiate the price down by at least the cost of burrs.

FAQ

Is the Anfim Scody 2 worth it for home use?

Only for high-volume home use. For 1-2 drinks at a time, a smaller 64mm or 75mm prosumer grinder is quieter, smaller, wastes less coffee, and often costs less. The Scody 2 is worth it if you regularly make 4+ drinks back-to-back or want a cafe-grade grinder that will never overheat.

How long do Scody 2 burrs last?

Anfim rates the 75mm steel burrs for about 1,500kg. At home (20g per day) that’s decades. In a cafe (10-15kg per day) that’s 3-5 months. At home you will replace them due to age and corrosion risk long before you wear them out.

What is the difference between Scody 2 and Anfim Luna?

The Luna is Anfim’s newer premium home/prosumer line with a touchscreen, more refined adjustment, and lower retention design. The Scody 2 is the older, simpler commercial workhorse — faster and cheaper, but larger, louder, and less refined for single-dosing.

Does the Scody 2 have low retention?

For a commercial timed grinder, retention is decent at 2-4g, but it’s not a true low-retention single-dose grinder. You need to purge after long idle periods. If you switch beans often or single-dose, a dedicated single-dose grinder will waste less.
