Single dosing on the Ditting Lab Sweet
The 807 Lab Sweet is a shop grinder in the proper sense: 80 mm cast steel burrs, a 700 W motor running them between roughly 1400 and 1700 rpm, and throughput around 8.9 g per second. It stands about 21 inches tall and weighs close to 38 lb. The bean hopper holds around 510 g.
Ditting built the Lab Sweet for retail bulk grinding — a customer buys beans, you grind the bag to their brew method, next customer. Throughput and consistency are the point.
Using one for single doses
Plenty of these end up doing something different: cupping tables, roastery QC benches, and home setups where someone wanted 80 mm burrs. There the bulk hopper is a nuisance and the grinder’s own scale works against you — an 80 mm chamber holds more between doses than a small grinder does.
This hopper replaces the stock one so each dose goes in weighed. After grinding, pressing the silicone bellows clears the chamber and chute, which matters most on a cupping table where the whole point is that sample three does not taste of sample two.
Version 3
Every unit we ship today is Version 3. The bellows is a custom branded, factory moulded silicone part — it is no longer 3D printed, as our earlier versions were.

Fitting
This hopper is made for the grinder named on this page. Fit tolerances vary between units and production runs, so minor adjustment may be needed to seat it perfectly on your grinder. Every unit is covered by our 2 year warranty.
