OVERLORD M1 • The Grinding Platform
stability creates consistency
Exceptional coffee flavor requires particle uniformity. Uniformity requires absolute burr stability under load.
OVERLORD's monorail architecture locks the burr alignment from the first bean to the last.
rigid burr alignment
A direct mechanical connection keeps the burr gap stable and controlled throughout the grind
predictable extraction
The moment coffee enters the chamber, multidirectional forces begin acting upon the grinding assembly - especially with dense, light-roasted beans.
The M1 resists those forces with its monorail structure, designed to preserve geometry under load.
Burr alignment remains consistent making your brewing recipes dependable day after day.
precise control
10 microns burr movement per click. Optional stepless mode for highly repeatable dialing for professional use
repeatable by design
Precision is useless if you can't recreate it.
Every adjustment on the M1 changes the burr gap by exactly 0,01 mm, making the math behind your coffee recipes effortless to track and repeat.
You can dial between espresso and filter profiles by simply tracking the numbers - no more losing rare beans to trial and error.
For lab use and barista competitions, the clicking mechanism can be fully disengaged, giving you infinite, stepless control to shape your extraction.
smart ergonomics
Top-mounted adjustment controls keep fine-tuning visible, intuitive and guarded
intentional adjustment
The M1 adjustment system was designed to be obvious, precise and mechanically grounded.
Satisfying clicks provide clear tactile feedback, while the crank serves as both the grinding handle and calibration lever - no extra tools required.
Recessed controls keep settings protected from accidental changes during use, helping you stay focused on the brewing process with complete peace of mind. Every adjustment feels deliberate, controlled and repeatable.
built for discovery
Coffee is never static.
Different origins and harvests, processes and roasting styles, grind settings and brewing methods reveal it in different ways.
OVERLORD was designed to keep your exploration open.
burrs = flavor
The geometry behind the burrs shapes how coffee tastes, feels, and reveals itself in your cup
flavor = burrs
Burrs do far more than simply grind coffee.
Their geometry influences particle distribution, extraction flow, texture, sweetness, clarity, and body throughout the cup.
Different coffees, roast profiles, and brewing methods often respond best to entirely different burr characteristics — revealing new expressions from the same beans depending on how they are prepared.
the platform
Burrs only perform as intended when alignment, calibration, and mechanical stability work as a unified system
the tool
Designing exceptional burrs requires geometry research, precision machining, and material science working together in balance.
But burr geometry alone cannot fully shape flavor without a mechanism capable of preserving alignment and calibration under load.
Overlord's M1 mechanism was developed around that relationship - creating a stable environment where burrs can perform as intended, while remaining accessible to swap, clean, and recalibrate without specialized tools.
open source
Coffee changes constantly. OVERLORD will never decide where your journey ends
freedom
Coffee preferences change all the time, and new burr geometries continue to shape how flavor can be expressed in the cup.
Overlord keeps that exploration accessible through an open burr architecture designed for straightforward swapping, cleaning, and recalibration without specialized tools or complex servicing.
As burrs continue to evolve, the platform remains ready to evolve alongside them - keeping new flavor possibilities open without replacing the grinder itself.

True performance deserves to be personal
Overlord M1 isn’t built for precision only - it’s made to reflect your space, your style, your morning.
Where uncompromising engineering meets individual style.
Interchangeable silicone sleeves complete the Overlord M1 not as decoration, but as part of the system. Durable, flexible, and perfectly fitted, they provide a confident, anti-slip hold while allowing you to color the grinder to your space.
Subtle or bold. Integrated or contrasting. Change the tone of your setup without changing the foundation beneath it.
Performance may be serious - but the way it lives in your home should feel right.
Third-party sleeves? No problem.
We kept the dimensions open by design:
• 12 mm (½ inch) height
• 175–180 mm circumference
• 1.5–2 mm thickness
Freedom should extend to every detail.
Vision for the Future
Why investing in the Overlord infrastructure makes sense?
Burr Options
We’re committed to working with burr makers to create the burr universe so you can find the flavor profile you've been seeking for years.
Electric Stand
A dedicated powerful electric stand is already in development aimed to expand M1's flexibility, ease of use, and adoption of larger burr sets.
Collaborations
We collaborate on RnD, equipment, machining, logistics and retail to bring the M1 platform to its full potential for the benefit of coffee lovers.
