A grinder for my wife

Postby scottyg514 on Fri Mar 09, 2007 2:04 pm

Tired of hearing my wife's complaints about me getting my new grinder, I've decided to get a grinder for her also, just to to shut her up.

Does anyone know if there's a grinder out there with a hopper that holds about 147 lb's?

Not one that will fit under most kitchen cabinets. :wink:

Perhaps you might consider the model used in the movie "Fargo"! Now that's a grinder! - Tom

I thought that is what diesel powered tree chippers were for?

Do they come with low-profile hoppers?

Side input, direct feed into the burrs, straight through grind path and doserless for clump free grinding.

All very true. On the other hand, these "prosumer" grinders require care when clearing the occasional errant rock in your beans --- as this apparently true story attests:

Jeremiah Sanders, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, the owner of J's Quality Tree Service, was killed in August of last year in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin when he used his foot to try to clear a stuck branch from the intake hopper of the machine; while it was running. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the man's co-workers tried to rescue him from the intake, but the device was apparently of such size and power that "he was pulled into and through the wood chipper."


Certainly puts the Mazzer Robur in its place. I just hope the OP was joking :shock:
