Mahlkönig, the German manufacturer known for its professional coffee grinders, has entered the home espresso market with the relaunch of the Xenia machine following its acquisition of Xenia Espresso.

The reimagined Mahlkönig Xenia combines the original design with Mahlkönig’s precision engineering and technology, marking the company’s first move into domestic espresso machines and completing its home product ecosystem.

The upgraded model features a dual boiler system with three-point heating and an intake heater for improved temperature stability. It also offers pressure profiling, flow and temperature control, integrated scales and enhanced steam performance delivering up to 1.8 bars, which according to the company is around 50% more than most home machines.

Mahlkönig’s new Grind-by-Sync technology enables automatic communication between the espresso machine and a compatible grinder for consistent extractions.

Launched alongside the machine is the Mahlkönig E64 WS Home grinder, the first to bring Grind-by-Sync and Grind-by-Weight technology – accurate to 0.1g – to the home market. When paired with the Xenia, the grinder automatically adjusts grind settings based on real-time extraction data.

Holger Dreissig, founder of Xenia Espresso, said: “The goal of Xenia has always been to rethink espresso technology from the ground up. With Mahlkönig’s innovation and engineering behind it, the new Xenia delivers unprecedented control, consistency and simplicity for the home barista.”

Marcel Lehmann, CEO of Hemro Group, added: “We’re shaping a future where grinder precision, espresso machine stability, and intelligent extraction control work seamlessly together in perfect harmony. By bringing Holger and the Xenia platform into the Mahlkönig family, we’ve created a product ecosystem that delivers professional-level performance to coffee lovers at home like never before.”
