Solis Scala Plus

Equipment notes

The Scala Plus is a 40mm conical hardened-steel-burr electric grinder (Type 1661) designed in Switzerland by the Swiss brand Solis. It uses numbered stepped adjustment with an adjustable grind timer, and includes an ion generator to reduce static, positioning it as a home daily grinder. A relatively small burr and a generous hopper lean it toward batch grinding. Conical burrs tend to build body and texture, and the 40mm size, while lower in throughput than large burrs, limits heat and strikes a balance suited to home use. Stepped adjustment makes it easy to move between set points from fine to coarse across brew methods, and the ion generator reduces static scatter and retention spread. It covers a wide range from espresso through drip to French press. It fits home users who want one grinder for several brew methods, and anyone after a simple-to-operate daily conical.
