Hey Mark, while trying to troubleshoot a botched display unit on my E65S GBW, I did not take a picture of how the wires plug in the back of the display. I ordered a replacement display, and can't find this info anywhere online. Do you happen to know?

Nice video Mark. I got one of these out of the Costco garbage. Since it's three phase, I put a Teco FM50 Frequency drive on it so I can use it at my house. I got new burrs for it, seasoned it and shimmed the burrs to get better tolerance for less fines. Wayyyyy better now! I would put this burr set up to others I've tried and it makes a super clean cup. Maybe the best I've had. I've tried the EK's, and a few super fancy home grinders, still like my VTA better

Dude, thank you for this precise explanation! Kudos

Hello, I am an absolute beginner. In which direction does the grinding plate have to rotate? Clockwise? My device spins but almost nothing comes out. It rotates clockwise.

Hi, I got the TEMP error! NO display, is there a problem with the processor board?

Hi Mark, not sure if you’d be able to help but I think we had a botched firmware update for our E80 non-gbw. I am now no longer able to get the grinder to power on. Circuit breaker is not tripping either. Any possible ideas?

Hi Mark I wonder if you could help me please? My K30 display has gradually got dimmer but the display works fine. I am looking to fix as have retired now and just bought a Spaz S 5 for home and I originally came from electronic engineering background. Have you any experience of this fault please? More likely be a PSU issuer or the display itself? I’m assuming it’s an electrostatic rear lighting rather than LED? Any help would be most appreciated, thank you! Tim Hampshire UK

Champion lifesaver you are, thank you for this video, it explained everything I needed to know!

On ours, one of the 3 hopper metal short anchor lock pins is missing.... I don't see a replacement part for these pins. I guess I'm going to have to try to see if a nail or used rivet pin will fit the hole and then super glue and baking soda into place(as well as the 2 remaining pins so we don't loose those). Thanks

Hi, Is the knob pull off/removable? Ours needs some electronics spray cleaner sprayed into the knob shaft.. Because the knob response has gotten bad/jumpy/unreliable. Due to common age/oxidation of internal contacts... But unplugging and spraying with the knob installed, blocks the spray from getting where it needs to. Ours is the non-GBW model, simpler E65S model. Thanks

Thank you - just changed out burrs, cleaned and calibrated with ease thanks to your video

just got a used GH2 and you wont believe how much of a lifesaver you are thank you!

Your presentation was awesome, I learned a lot about setting the gap.

Hi Mark, great video. Thank you for sharing. I’m wondering what the last character in a model represents. For example vta-6sG as opposed to vta-6s3. Do you know.?

Привет, Марк! Может быть, ты знаешь, в чем проблема. Сделал всё также, как на твоём видео. Но кофемолка делает неестественно крупный помол для эспрессо на минимальном расстоянии между жерновами. Уменьшить расстояние между жерновами не получается. Заранее благодарю

You just saved me a ton of money! Great video and it fixed our problem. We had a barista spin the plastic adjustment wheel WAY out of wack.

Magnificent run through. Big thanks, from Houston, Texas

Thank you Mark, this was super helpful. I was able to calibrate my burrs with your walkthrough!

Can you help me bro

Also! Is it possible to replace the motor on this grinder? I can not figure how to get the dang motor out of this thing but I believe that the motor is not working on mine. The grinder shorts out every couple seconds when I try to grind coffee.

Thank you so much for posting this video! I was totally stuck trying to get one of these open until I found your video. Dismantling one of these feels like trying to crack a safe when you don't know what you're doing!

Do you know if its possible to modify the motor controller så that we can adjust the motor speed? Maybe you know of someone who had done this modification before or if we can buy a kit to do it

Hi Mark great video. I took my E65S GBW apart to replace the display that was defective and when putting it back together I noticed 2 plastic rods that are mounted at the front of the motor and don’t know what they are for. I’m hoping you can help me figure what those 2 plastic rods are for. By the way in E65S GBW I didn’t see those rods. Thanks

Rad video. The you for dropping wisdom on us. It’s nice that a lot of this applied to vertically mounted burr grinders. Really similar to my grindmaster.

Thanks for all what you do mark 🙏🙏

how do I separate the burrs if it gets stuck together and spring does not push the other side out?

Thanks Mark! I’m having an issue getting it to start. It starts and then it shuts itself off. As if something is stuck. Should I take it apart and clean it? It has only been through about 50 lbs of coffee from brand new

Wow great

I cannot get the spout to mate back into the body…the bearing pushes in like you said it should…

Can you give me some advice. Grinder works great but when I change the grind the actual grind will not change… what is wrong?

It it easy to remove the rubber gasket between base and motor housing? Have they modified the body so that it needs the rubber collar or is it easy to just take out? Not a good look with the black collar with the white EK, as I have no black parts or logos on mine at all now, this is for home use.

Great video mark!. Could you suggest any food grade grease brand? It´d be very helpful. Thanks

Please help me out I am putting it on but is not humming or coming on this my whatsapp number 0501248166

hi Mark.. its really helpful.. thanks to you. btw i dont know its a problem or not, i compare my ek43 with the other ek43, my ek43 get more powerful in the beginning. how do you think? its ok or not?

Very helpful. Curious if there's any adjustability with the chute to allow for centering of grinds into a portafilter.

Mark! Your videos are SO HELPFUL! Thanks a million!

Hi, can you suggest an alternative lubricant than Kluberpaste? It is just hard to get and seems unreasonably expensive.

Excellent Mark but I believe one critical step was missed. After the initial calibration, the inner aluminum ring needs to be rotated counter clockwise to align the initial mark with the 10½ cog mark on the brass ring prior to reinstalling the lid.

Wow that was so in-depth and informative. Thank you so much :D

Hey Mark....very informative! Keep up the great work!

The "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" of EK videos, for sure! Two questions - have you found that using a torque screwdriver helps with either the faceplate or burr installation, and have you noticed more accurate tolerances on newer ones? I've heard that both the newer short and tall models have CNC'ed chambers, but I've also heard that the prebreakers still need to be sanded. Thanks so much!

Thanks for posting this Mark - very helpful. I was using a Baratza Vario to grind for my Rocket R58 but was constantly fiddling with it every time I roasted a new batch of beans. Since the K30 is stepless it's very easy to dial in the perfect setting for the optimum espresso pull with very minute adjustments. Obviously this machine is overkill for home use but I can't imagine NOT having it!

Great video Mark , err I mean Dr. Grinder . Great detail and patience explaining the whole process . Lots of tips for anyone doing their own grinder maintenance. thank you . Make and share some more videos :)
