    This video helped me to take my secondhand grinder apart and boy was it full of coffee!
    Protip for any folks who disassemble it - watch for the little bullet shaped bit of plastic in the plug where the red and white cable attaches. It's a safety latch for the top lid.

    Just done the mod successfully. Just make sure when dial to 90 degrees, test that the burr do not touch with eachother by using your index finger and try to rotate the spinning burr and no grinding sound. I did mine up to 100 degree when they started to touch each other, then i dialed it back to 90 degree. Different machine may touch each other even before 90 degree mark. Just make sure to test first. At finest setting the ground coffee choke my espresso machine, after dial in, best setting is at about 4 click above finest setting. Thanks for the video tutorial.

    I found this video after recently deciding to go down the un-pressurised basket route and thought that the grounds from my grinder were too course. On opening the grinder I found that the mark on the gear was 90 deg out of position in the wrong direction actually limiting the grind!,. On further investigation I found that this was caused when I was removing the grind barrel for cleaning, I was being too heavy handed causing the cogs to jump out of position 😃😃. I’ve since completed this mod and now in the process of experimenting with a fresh bag of lavazza beans, Thanks for the great video it’s help me resolve a number of issues. 👍🏻👍🏻

    Great hack. For my grinder 4 clicks was more than enough. More clicks just make the coffee too fine, almost dust.

    All the spurs on the white bit that attaches the the know have snapped off mine 😅 it was stuck on coarse and the burr refused to come out. Took it apart to try to pull it out as it was super jammed and I couldn’t get a grip on it from the top. I’ll just leave it on fine then… no more tweaking it

    Had to quickly repair my machine after it stopped working. I thought it was the lid safety switch. As slamming it down would make it work. It wasn't the switch,
    it was the big yellow cap '.47k275v~x2', soft start for the motor? Cold joints left the cap basically floating! I was about to replace the cap but reflowed it. Works fine now.
    I modded my grinder around 10 years ago, removed the gears so I twist the top blade by hand. I can make the two burrs touch. After a good clean it grinds like new and very fine if I so wish.

    The only thing missing is you should compare before and after setting. How finer the coffee. Then it will be perfect.

    Hi there do you have any idea how and where to get the small white piece that ‘stops’ the burrs? I think I broke it and now the burrs keeps turning without stopping at finer or courser.
    Thanks 🙏🏻

    Witajcie. Przestrzegam przed modyfikacja. Zglebialem temat. Mlynek ten kosztuje 250 zl poniewaz precyzja jak i technologia wykonania nie pozwalaja zejsc nizej z zarnami. Dlaczego ? Rzeczywiscie mozna manualnie przestawic zebatke 2-3 klikciecia i rzeczywiscie po manualnym spŕawdzeniu ruszajac zarnem nie stykaly sie... jednak...pod obcoazeniem mielenia jak i przy wylaczaniu mlynka - szczegolnie przy pustym zbiorniku mlynek potrafi wpadac w wibracje przy okreslony h obrotach i wtedy potrafi otrzec zarno o zarno. Przy dluzszym uzytkowaniu predzej czy pozniej skonczy sie to wymiana zarna x 2 co stanowi wysoki koszt porownujac do nowego młynka. Rzeczywiscie sprawdzilem ustawienie fabryczne podczas ktorego nawet przy powstalych wibracjach zarno do zarna nie dotyka. Reasumujac, plastikowe elementy, luz na gwincie i zebatkach ustalajacych wysokosc potrafi sie delikatnie zmieniac, gdyby to byl metalowy bardzodrobno zwojowy gwint bez luzow producent sam ustawilby inaczej zebatke i punkt minimalny mielenia :) pozdrawiam 😊
