Wendougee ARES 90B-DC Commercial Espresso Grinder
The ARES 90B-DC is designed for bars that want high-speed 90mm flat-burr grinding with both timed and weight-based dosing. It uses an integrated precision scale and portafilter recognition to deliver the programmed recipe for the handle placed on the fork.
That combination addresses two common commercial problems. Large burrs help keep the queue moving during rushes, while gravimetric dosing reduces the dose changes that can occur when grind setting, coffee density or hopper conditions change. The ARES can also operate with timed presets, giving the shop a fallback or an alternate workflow when weight-based dosing is not preferred.
Commercial Workflow Highlights
- 90mm stainless-steel flat burrs: A large espresso-oriented cutting surface intended for fast, consistent service.
- Timed and gravimetric programs: Save recipes for time-based or weight-based dosing; confirm the available preset count on the supplied firmware.
- Portafilter recognition: The grinder identifies different portafilter handle weights and applies the associated target.
- Integrated scale: Listed dosing precision is ±0.2 gram under appropriate operating conditions.
- 5-inch touchscreen: Central access to recipes, operating information and adjustment settings.
- Intelligent motor control: A brushed DC motor drives the burr set at a fixed operating speed. This 90B-DC is distinct from the variable-speed, brushless Ares 90B.
- Smart inter-link capability: Designed to support connected adjustment of grinding parameters in compatible workflows.
Who Is the ARES 90B-DC For?
This is a primary espresso grinder for cafés, mobile coffee businesses, restaurants and hospitality counters where speed and dose repeatability both matter. It is most useful when several baristas share a station or when the shop wants different dose targets tied to different portafilters. A low-volume home user is unlikely to benefit from its height, hopper workflow or 90mm commercial capacity.
Before ordering, compare peak drinks per hour—not only average daily volume. Also decide whether the shop needs a separate decaf grinder, how many portafilter recipes must be stored, and whether there is enough overhead room to refill the hopper comfortably.

Measure counter depth and overhead clearance before purchase. Confirm that the installation provides the specified grounded electrical service and enough space for ventilation, cleaning and hopper removal.
Dial-In and Daily Care
Program recipes only after the espresso machine’s dose, yield and temperature are stable. Check the grinder’s integrated weight against a separate calibrated scale at opening, keep the fork and weighing area free of loose grounds, and make small grind corrections as coffee ages. Brush the chute routinely and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before entering the burr chamber.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ARES dose by time or weight?
Both. The 90B-DC supports time-based and weight-based recipes. Preset counts should be checked on the supplied firmware.
Why recognize the portafilter?
Different handles can have different tare weights and dose targets. Recognition lets the grinder associate the handle with the appropriate programmed recipe.
Is this a single-dose grinder?
No. It is a hopper-fed commercial grinder intended for repeated service.
How fast does it grind?
Output depends on coffee, fineness and burr condition. Ask for a demonstration with your intended espresso recipe when sizing a bar; published Ares output figures vary across manufacturer materials.
Can Espresso Outlet help size it for a café?
Yes. Compare it with other commercial coffee grinders, or contact Espresso Outlet with menu, peak volume, counter and electrical details.
