Description
The Ditting 1403 Grinder, Built for Consistency Under Pressure
A busy café loses more flavour to inconsistent grinding than to bad beans. The Ditting 1403 grinder exists to remove that variable — Swiss burr engineering that holds its particle size from the first cup of the morning rush to the last.
Built Around Swiss Burr Technology
Ditting has manufactured grinding equipment in Switzerland for over 50 years, earning a global reputation among baristas and roasters for accuracy and dependability. The 1403 carries that heritage into a compact commercial footprint suited to specialty coffee shops, roasteries and expansive cafés.
