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.

Ditting offers the right machine for your application from small or large amounts of coffee to fine or coarse grinds.
The key part of any grinder is the grinding mechanism. Ditting attaches special importance to the design and manufacture of outstanding grinding mechanisms which guarantee uniform and gentle grinding whatever setting is required. This uniform grinding ensures a full release of aroma and the extraction of flavor during the brewing process.

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.
