For nearly fifty years, Ditting has been considered the premier coffee grinder in the industry.  The grinders are driven by HIGH-TORQUE motors to withstand the heavy loads of coffee grinding. The precision engineered and manufactured grinding discs assure that the coffee beans are cut down in size through multiple stages, assuring a uniform particle size according to the grinding fineness selected. Most importantly, the coffee beans are not overheated.

Ditting Grinders will easily last 20+ to 30+ years with proper care and maintenance.

      Grinding Discs

ditting® grinding discs have a long life expectancy with regular wear. The following chart is based on normal grinding on a medium setting. Life expectancy will shorten with the finer grinds simply because the discs will be working harder and wearing out at a faster rate than with coarser grinds.

Disc Pricing:

Grinding Disc Avg. Lifespan New Disc Resharpened Disc
804 15,000 $360 $200
1203 25,000 $580 $340
1403 35,000 $690 $420
1800 100,000 $1,600 $700

Change Disc:

As you become more familiar with the Ditting grinder, you will have a feel for when the disc is wearing down and should be changed. Here is an approximation on when to change disc:

Model Change disc after approximately:
804 15,000 lbs
1203 25,000 lbs
1403 35,000 lbs
1800 100,000 lbs

Some signs of wear are: 

  • grind is coming out coarse no matter what setting you are using;
  • coffee is coming out hot;
  • coffee continues to clog up inside the machine;
  • you cannot get the correct fineness on the specified setting; or
  • grinder seems to be grinding slower than normal. 

We recommend you have two sets of discs to use: one in the grinder and one on hand as a spare set.
