Hmmm. Is this it? A quote from David Schomer in Barista Magazine (Nov/Dec 2006). Delivered with his customary modesty.

David Schomer in Barista Magazine wrote:"I am very happy to use these pages to officially announce that La Marzocco and I are collaborating on the "S Grinder-Schomer Specifications." It is designed to my specs from the ground up, and I promise it will improve anyone's espresso instantly. Plus it's unusually quiet. I could not be happier."


Even if it is a revolutionary step in commercial grinders, still the question for us, how well will it work for the home barista? Has anyone seen it? Details? Dates?

I believe it is pictured in the Barista mag article (but they don't caption the picture to tell you so). Anyways, it looks like this:
