Description

Di Pacci — 120 mm Shop Grinder for Retail and Roastery Bagging

Ditting KFA1203 Coffee Grinder

The Ditting KFA1203 is a Swiss shop grinder that grinds a 1 kg bag in well under a minute, at any setting from espresso to plunger.

The Ditting KFA1203 uses 120 mm special steel burrs on a single-phase motor of 1,100 to 1,600 W, grinding at roughly 23 g per second (about 1.4 kg a minute) from a hopper that holds around 1.1 kg. Grind size is set on a stepless dial, so you can match any brew method a customer asks for.

It's built for the counter of a roastery, deli or busy coffee shop that grinds beans to order. A knocker clears grounds from the spout between bags, and a bag shaker settles the grounds evenly as the bag fills. Ditting's discs are made from hard-wearing steel and, looked after properly, can be resharpened. It runs on single-phase power, so it suits shops without a three-phase supply.

Key Features of the Ditting KFA1203

⚙️ 120 mm special steel burrs

Large, wear-resistant burrs grind quickly and evenly at every setting from fine to coarse.

⏱️ About 1.4 kg a minute

Ditting quotes an average of 23 g per second, so a 1 kg bag takes under a minute.

🎚️ Stepless adjustment

Dial in exactly the grind a customer needs, from espresso to plunger.

🛍️ Bag shaker

Shakes the bag as it fills so grounds settle evenly and the bag seals cleanly.

🔨 Spout knocker

A few taps clear grounds from the discharge spout, so the next customer gets their own coffee.

⚡ Single-phase power

Runs on a standard single-phase supply rather than three-phase.

Why Burr Size Matters for Retail Grinding

Grinding bags to order is a speed problem. A customer is waiting at the counter, and small burrs take longer and heat the coffee while they do it.

  • The KFA1203's 120 mm burrs cut more coffee per revolution than café espresso grinders.
  • That's how it reaches about 23 g per second while keeping the grind even.
  • Stepless adjustment means switching from espresso to plunger between customers takes a turn of the dial.

Customers get freshly ground coffee in under a minute, and you sell more beans because grinding stops being a bottleneck.

KFA1203 vs KR1403

Ditting's two shop grinders share a body; the 1403 is the higher-output model.

Feature Ditting KFA1203 Ditting KR1403
Burr diameter 120 mm 140 mm
Capacity About 1.4 kg/min About 2.2 kg/min
Motor 1.1–1.6 kW, single phase 1.7 kW, three-phase
Dimensions (W × H × D) 260 × 640 × 340 mm 260 × 640 × 340 mm

Di Pacci recommendation: The KFA1203 suits most retail counters and small roasteries. Don't bother with the bigger 1403 unless you're grinding several kilos an hour and have three-phase power; and if you only grind the odd bag for café customers, a café grinder will do.

What Goes With the KFA1203

Retail grinding works best with the right capacity and a separate espresso grinder.
