Overview

The ECM V Titan 64 Espresso Grinder Stainless Steel is a true powerhouse in the prosumer/light commercial grinder category, elegantly blending distinct 1950s styling with a robust, commercial-grade heart. At the very core of the V-Titan are its two exceptionally durable, titanium-coated 64mm flat burrs, from which the grinder derives its name. These burrs are the key to its exceptional performance and longevity.

Features and Performance

When questioned about their durability, ECM confidently stated that these titanium-coated burrs could withstand an astonishing 1200 kg of coffee before needing replacement. In practical terms, this translates to burrs that can effectively maintain their sharpness and performance for a staggering 100 years worth of typical home use, or significant commercial volume. Grinding is precisely controlled by the silver-finished display located at the bottom of the machine, which features two pre-set grinding times, adjustable to within a precise tenth of a second. The powerful 450-watt motor enables the V-Titan 64 to grind an impressive 11 grams of coffee in just about 2.5 seconds, matching or even exceeding the speed of most grinders in its price range.

Precision Adjustment with Worm Gear

Grind-setting drift has historically been a source of frustration for us here at the office, but the ECM V-Titan 64 definitively eliminates this with the critical addition of the worm gear. This ingenious adjustment mechanism allows you to finely tune your grind setting with exceptional precision and then securely lock it in place, ensuring that the grind size is always what you set it to be, shot after shot.

Because the worm-gear’s adjustments are so incredibly fine, this makes the V-Titan something of an espresso specialist. You’ll want to keep this in mind if you anticipate needing to grind for a wide range of brew methods, as making large, drastic adjustments to grind size will take some time and effort. However, if you plan on consistently sticking to an espresso grind-size, the V-Titan will perform exceptionally well, delivering unparalleled consistency.
