Ares 90B-DC: measure the espresso dose at the portafilter
The Ares 90B-DC combines 90 mm stainless-steel flat burrs with timed and weight-based dosing. It is a hopper-fed grinder for repetitive espresso preparation, with a 5-inch touchscreen and handle-recognition functions for configuring the portafilters used at the bar.
The DC model has a specific motor configuration
This 90B-DC uses a brushed DC motor with fixed operating speed. It should not be confused with the brushless, adjustable-speed Ares 90B. The DC designation also does not mean that every Ares DC grinder includes weighing: the manufacturer lists a separate time-only 90-DC version.
From a stored target to a measured dose
Weight mode uses the integrated weighing system to follow grounds delivered into the portafilter. Time mode uses a programmed duration. Confirm the preset count on the supplied firmware, because the current manufacturer family chart and earlier US descriptions differ on program counts.
Place the grinder on a stable counter, configure the handles used during service and keep the weighing support unobstructed. An independent scale is useful for setup checks and for verifying the grinder if delivered doses begin to vary.

Size the station around the workflow
Leave overhead room for filling and removing the hopper and front access for the portafilter, cleaning and calibration. Published Ares grinding-rate claims differ across materials, so use a demonstration with your espresso setting when planning output rather than treating a single grams-per-second figure as guaranteed.
Questions about this model
Is the motor user-adjustable from 200 to 1,000 RPM?
No. That variable-speed description belongs to another Ares configuration, not this 90B-DC.
Can I use timed dosing instead of weighing?
Yes. This model supports both dosing methods.
What is the other Wendougee commercial grinder to compare?
Review RKONE-90B-T for its titanium-coated 90 mm burrs, brushless motor and front outlet arrangement.
