Review: ECM V-Titan 64 Espresso Coffee Grinder with Titanium Burrs

Great video

do you think ECM v-titan 64 beats ECM: S-Automatik 64 on even distribution or dose control?

what a shining beauty!

How do you clean it? DO you have to re-dial the grind setting after cleaning? Or is it the same as cleaning a Ceado E37S?

The hopper shutoff looks like it would be ideal for changing out beans as desired (e.g. regular to decaf). I can't find the extra hoppers though on your site. Do you sell them separately?

Thank you Marc for the informative review of the ECM V-Titan 64!I received my ECM V-Titan 64 a few days ago from WLL and was spending quite a bit of time dialing in the grind and timing to get a good shot.I was wondering what the approximate grind setting did you have where the t2=4 seconds yielded about 18g of coffee? There is a short frame in the video where I could see the setting to be at about "2", but would appreciate your confirmation and any comments you may have with regards to grind setting.Thank you very much,Rudolf

Hi & Thanks for the great review!
Do you prefer the Titan over the Cedar E37S?
Cheers
Thorsten

Would be interested to know the grind range - can we adjust all the way from Turkish to pour-over?

How does the Titan compare to the Mazzer Super Jolly Electronic?

A perfect compliment with the Synchronika!! Im SOLD.!

could you show a video on cleaning of the burrs / machine and re-calibrating this. Also would be nice to have a comparison video against the Proftiec Pro T64, Ceado 37s and Rocket) faulsto (or any other comparison grinder in this category

Hi Marc, I think i have found the reference point on the titan after using a Kg of coffee. while adjusting the grind while its running it seems a bit hard to turn the worm wheel is this normal..? Seems easier to turn while the grinder is off..

Hello Marc, thanks for the great video.

Which better the Rocket Fausto or ECM v-titan, beside the titanium burr.

Love your reviews and I'm def sold on getting the Synchronika, because of you!
Question for you, is the main difference between the Titan 64 and the S Automatik only the burr material? Also, which would you prefer?
Salut

I am very much interest in this grinder. I am wondering if you can make a video how to clean and maintain this expensive grinder. Thank you.

Hi Bouht a V-64 grinder, but the adjustment is locked or wery hard to adjust. Are there somthing wrong withe grinder or can this be adjustede?

Hi marc.. What are your recommendations between ECM V-Titan 64 Grinder and the 65 Eureka Zenthes? Thanks

Hi Marc, between ECM V-Titan 64 and Ceado E37J Electronic which one you would prefer?

Thanks for great video.

Anyone who can help me finding this amazing grinder in India?

Great review. Is it true on the timed function that the minimum manual dose is 2 seconds? Meaning there is no way to get a quick top up less than 2 seconds while in timed mode. Understand in manual maiden that’s easy

Hi Marc,

I went ahead and purchased the v-Titan and I’m using it with VST baskets. It seems I’m getting a bit of clumping. I’m using 7 day old roasted quality beans. Any hints at why I might be getting clumping? Grinds in your vid look fine.

Also how do I retain the grin setting when cleaning?

Thanks in advance!

What type of plug in do you have to have? 110 or 220?

For this kind of money design should be better - you can't see the display when in use because the portafilter is right in front of it, the lightly etched numbers on the gear are barely readable due to low contrast and the fact that they are tucked under the hopper over hang. The grinder adjustment handle is at the back- if tucked beside the coffee maker - at it will in most spaces it is hard to reach and it is a smooth piece of metal with no grip - which it would have if it had a texture, rubber grip or knob. The position of the handle is nearly impossible for left handers - the ceado and others with the knob at the front are mostly located on the right but still far easier to grab right or left handed. To dispense a double you tap the button twice? and what about the variable time of half a second or a quarter of a second or,....whatever between the button pushes? Really display should be up top and there should be a button to chose single or double. I would choose the ceado 37s - other than that here in Canada it is about $900 more.

For the price of this grinder I can buy a good grinder and replace its burrs every month, until I get grand children.

Loved the correlation between the 1950s blender to the grinder. Spot on!

I have this grinder and feel the grill inside the chute holds a lot of coffee grind and play with the accuracy When using automatic fonction. I tried to add water to humidify my grind and it doesn’t make any difference. Also grind retention are almost 3 grams which feels a lot. Any suggestion?

Hi Marc. How easy is it to fish out the retained grounds behind the shute's anti static grid? Would a couple of pulses on/off be enough to eject them? Or is it possible to brush them out through the grill in combination with the pulsing. Thanks

Mark, What is conspicuously missing in your review is RETENTION. Every other grinder you have reviewed has mentioned the all important RETENTION. Can you please reveal your findings on the RETENTION of this grinder. Thank you so much!

Hi Marc - Great Video!! Thanks for the thorough explanation of this Grinder. Can you explain to me what they mean when they say you need to "Season" a new grinder before use?? Does this mean you just have to run some beans through the machine before use (right from the box)?
Also, would this grinder be OK in a Commercial setting? For example a small Espresso Stand and a local Farmers market doing Single Origins and an Espresso Blend - Espresso's and Milk Drinks only...nothing too fancy. Thanks if you can help me out and keep up the great work! (Steve from New Zealand)

Nice 👍 if you by both is there a discount ?

Hello Marc, I have a ECM casa V. Should I get the ECM V-Titan 64 or ECM S-Automatics 64 ?

I'm planning to buy this grinder to compliment my synkronika. Yet i'm doing some pour overs. Is this grinder perform well for pour over?

Intriguing about the Ceado E37Z RPM adjustability and how that may play a role in extraction.... Makes me wonder what the RPMs for all other grinders, and what would be a favorable RPM?

Hi, I’m using this machine but beans stuck between the middle bar and bottom gear. It sometime cannot grind because the ground pounders are sticking in the machine and it cannot push out from the machine. I was advised to adjust toward the fine from the engineers but it’s not course enough if I do it. Have you ever heard this incident?

How would you rate this compared to something like the Ceado 37s? I can't decide between the two!

Great grinder, great presentation. I have a question you don't mind: people always say 'invest in a good grinder', however, what is the minimum standar of a good grinder for home espresso lover? The reason I ask this question is that the standard and price of 'a good grinder' can be no ceiling or the ceiling is too high for many people. If you could point to one or two specific grinders that meet the minimum standard, that would be great. I would guess that one of which is Baratza Sette? Thanks.

😀 Another great review Marc, thank you.
Could you please tell me if you were grinding at #2 - would the 2 on the adjustment ring be in line with the (flat) screw at the front of the grinder?

I like that this does not have a long internal chute that is difficult to access like in the Atom, Zenith and Olympus. The build of this is impressive and might be a great match to my ECM espresso machine.

I'm on the market for a new espresso machine and I'm thinking of pairing the ECM Synchronika with this grinder. One of the grinder reviews on the Whole Latte Love website states the following: " It is beautiful and well made grinder. It is like a tank. But you need to be aware that it is not for single dosing." Can someone from WLL address the "not made for single dosing" claim? What does this mean?

Esa lamentablemente no traen a Chile. Tampoco vi una tienda para importarla. Termine comprando en Italia una Eureka Mignon XL. Espero tener esa ECM algún día.

Marc - I am struggling with selecting between the Titan (looks, matches with synchronika) and the ceado 37s (ease of use, better reviews). Any advice from WLL or others here? Thanks!

appreciate the detailed review and your enthusiasm and yes, the comparison to the blender is spot on

I just received my Titan. Beautiful machine. What do you recommend to get to my desired settings without wasting a lot of beans in the process. Is there an approximate setting to start with?
