Black Dog

Since Black Dog Coffee is all about freshness I've resisted, so far, offering ground coffee for sale. Also, grinding for sale would kill my home grinder in no time flat and commercial grinders are waaaaayyy expensive. However, since I've had so many people ask me for ground coffee I decided to see if I could find a reasonably priced high capacity grinder.
Here's what I found:
1325
It's a Ditting KF804 OCP and is designed for coffee shops, retail stores and cupping labs. This thing is a freaking monster! It grinds 1lb of coffee in less than a minute and is infinitely adjustable from coarse to superfine. I just ground a pots worth of coffee in less time than it took to type half this sentence. At every grind level it puts out the most consistent grind of any machine I've ever used. Hell, I may just quit using my Infinity!
Dittings are made in Switzerland and are known to typically run for 30 years before requiring factory service and then mostly what's done is installing a new set of burrs. This one is probably about 15 years old and is working great.
