Speaking of titan grinders:

Ditting KF1800

Technical data
Voltage/Frequency/Phases 220V / 60Hz / 3*
Motor, horsepower 6.25 (4,660 watts)
Motor current drain, amps 19
Average grinding capacity, lbs/min. 12-13**
Hopper capacity, lbs 66
Grinding discs, Ø mm 180
Net weight, lbs 309
Dimensions (WxDxH), inches 20"x20"x65"
UL and cUL approved
grinding rate: 6000 grams per minute
grinding discs good for 100,000 lbs

Retail price ~$12,000
"Burrs": $1195

I would think that the burrs are not just the same 180 mm burrs in the mazzer major for that price, but can't find any pics online

Who's going to be the first to come up with single-dose mods for this one

100 grams a second

That's actually remarkably efficient in terms of grind speed per watt. This does 46w/g/s. My grinder does about 6 grams a second on drip grind, and with a rated power of 350w would need 58w/g/s. Which is a lot more than 46.

The Major burrs are 84mm so these are a little more then twice the size but 24 times the cost!

You're right, my mistake... I would love to see a picture of them next to major burrs!

To be fair just like when ordering pizza the size of a burr/price is probably more related to the square of the radius that the radius itself (ie the area is more what matters which is pi*r^2 and, of course, even better the volume would be what really matters) so the are roughly 4.5 times as big - now those grinders look like a bargain, huh. Where do we order them?

Let's see, ok, we start with a whitewall tire as the hopper weight...

I thought the photograper had done a clever job when I noticed the grinders were placed in front of a garage door. Then I read the specs.

I suppose you would have to get two, in case someone wants decaf.

The biggest problem is how do you {CON}vince your wife that she definitely needs it
