I only stumbled across this video about a week ago. I had a cheap grinder that i bought from eBay and i wanted to try this mod on it, since it is my backup grinder, and it's the one that i usually take camping. My home grinder is always on medium fine and i use an Aeropress. This cheap grinder's adjusting nut would NOT stay in one place. So i bought some nuts with nylon insert, but the shaft wasn't long enough to even get it started on the threads. I had to trash the plastic washers on either end and finally was able to get it on the shaft and tightened. Works like a charm. Takes me about 10 minutes to grind about 20 grams of beans but it's worth it. Thank you for showing us how to do this.
Thank You for such a simple fix. I have the same grinder and have noticed it slipping and loosening lately, sonetimes to the point where the whole assembly ends up in the bottom, I actually lost the little black bottom shaft retainer washer that fits over top of the spring too. I just found and ordered a replacement kit for that. So now Im off to the hardware store to find the 6mm×10 nut you show. Thanks again for such a great easy fix. Happy Coffee!
I am extremely broke and was suffering from the dilemma of having to either grind really uneven coffee in my spice grinder or getting pre-ground coffee (or dropping Too Much Money(tm) on a grinder) and this has S A V E D me, thank you
I have the exact same hand grinder and it is really inconsistent with its grind size, as expected for its price of course. But doing your mod really raised the quality of the grind size consistency of this cheap grinder. Thank you so much!
Some Follow Up - I bought the grinder along with the m6 x 1mm nuts suggested, and did the hack described in the video. Funny story - I almost bought a $160 hand grinder today, but I have been looking at some priced from $200 - $300 because I wanted to get an "affordable" grinder which could grind coffee appropriately for espresso. HOWEVER, after performing the hack on this inexpensive grinder, I just ground coffee beans to a very consistent grind size that is equal (at least visually and in texture) to powdered sugar. I can't believe it. In fact, I think it's probably too small of a grind. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you so much!
@@ahikernamedgq any further update on the experiment? How did it hold up over time? I have a $200 grinder in my Amazon cart right now and am looking for cheaper options before I pull the trigger.
@@subodhdk Great question. It worked, but it only let me grind one size, without having to remove the nuts. Plus, it wasn’t able to allow for any type of precision in grind size adjustment. So, I threw this away and bought a Kinu Phoenix.
Neat tip. I attached a small Black and Decker electric screw driver ($5 bucks version) to save the daily work out. After awhile, I upped the tool to a Ryobi electric driver.. Works nicely.
Great idea and video! Ordered a couple of these grinders, $12 each. Instead of a nut, I'm using a wing nut so, hopefully, I can drop the wrench part of the kit and still make grind size adjustments.
Omg this works so well, I have the same grinder and I also bought a replacement burr which has the same problem now. You don't even need a ratchet I can tighten it enough with fingers that it doesn't move up or down. Was just searching for a new grinder and watching reviews them your video popped up, now I won't need to buy. Thank you.
You're welcome! It's great cheap improvement when you're just starting out. Pretty soon, you might want to get a better grinder if your palette gets more picky.
@@BeatTheBushDIY To make things faster the cheap way: I would pre-grind the beans on the coarsest setting, sift out the small particles if there are any, store the coarse "bean nibs" in a tightly sealed bag (coffee bag with a one-way valve is best, or ziplock. Air squeezed out plus scotch tape on top for good measure, for max freshness). Then you can grind those nibs in a jiffy!
Fantastic demo! I ended up with upper back muscle strain after using this exact same grinder only a few times! Took over 200 turns! Ridiculous amount of time to grind just a few tablespoons of beans for one cup coffee!!! Yes these are sold under many names but are the same cheap laborious to use grinder! Will use your nut suggestion for consistency of grind. But no one should think this is a realistic way to grind your morning cup a Joe!!! Great demo!
dude - I've been 3 months in using this - and it works great -- THANK YOU. Also I'd highly recommend these 2 things a) moka pot and b) subminimal nanofoamer. you can use them to make home made latte and capuccino on the cheap.
@@breadman5048 if it's coming off, not sure if you have the space but a second nut fixes it into place. It's a very common trick used in threaded rods and the like for making sure it doesnt move, they just need to be well tightened against eachother
I also wrapped tape around the central shaft where it goes thru both plastic bushings. The combination of a nut (I used a nylock) to keep my setting dialed in perfectly, and he tape to remove all play in the shaft/bushings, made my cheap grinder perform VERY well.
Very informative video! Thank you! I love that you actually showed the grinding process. I was looking at various manual grinders and this will mostly be used when out and for power loss so will be not used often and spending $30 to $70 is a waste. This pretty much solves it all and helped me choose a manual coffee bean grinder.
very nice explanation, I went ahead and bought the $10 one, and my nut and my husband grinded cinnamon sticks while he watched the video and got really nice and thin cinnamon powder. I will be using this for spices. Thank you for this video!!
Great video! Watching this also made me realize that my grinder was assembled in the wrong order, which was causing the grinder piece to be slightly offset and grinding uneven. After your tips I have much more evenly ground coffee!
Thanks. Great idea. Would recommend a stainless steel nut to minimize corrosion when rinsing parts. You can also use a stainless. steel nylon lock nut to prevent any backing out over time but that might make it harder to clean regularly.
To think it is the same specced grinder even here in India and I went and found the nut and applied your hack with great results. My Moka Pot coffee, which is very grind-sensitive, tastes so much better now.
Listen dude, I bought an electric coffee grinder today! But you still held my attention tru this entire video lol Great job and I'm sure its helpful to tons of people!!
Very helpful my friend! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea this was even happening to me, but you’re exactly right, the black nut is indeed loosening. Easy fix, thanks again! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
thanks for the video, I just saw your video but I already purchased a more expensive grinder the KinGrinder KO, it was more money but has a premium feel, stainless steel burr and never changes the adjustment, I just wish it could it could hold more beans
You don't need a spanner nor socket to tighten that nut. What you do is hold the nut with a finger and unwind that starwheel onto the nut till it binds securely via friction. Of course you first adjust the nut a little higher than where you want it because as you unwind the starwheel, the nut will unwind slightly before the friction between the two surfaces kicks in.
@BaySlanger , you then turn the starwheel clockwise and it will loosen from the nut. You then adjust the nut to where you want it and then turn the starwheel anti-clockwise till it binds against the nut via friction.
I am totally trying this. My girlfriend wants to get me a grinder for my birthday in a few months for my new espresso machine but I want something for the meantime. This is a fantastic option! I am going to come back in a few weeks and say how it worked out
dude,, great video.. I followed your other video with the drill,, your problem with the inconsistence was the same with me too.. Im adding the nut now,, thanks. GOOD WORK MY DUDE~!
omg!!! I needed this a week ago. I have a similar grinder that has recently broken. There is a small black plastic part between the black plastic nut (the one with a star shape) and the ceramic part with pyramid shaped. That tiny part has broken into pieces and I don't know exactly why. Maybe it felt, my other theory was that last week I bought Maragogype coffee beans which are huge...and it was a bit difficult to grind to a medium size. Well I don't know why this broke and I am not sure if there are replacement parts. I will definitely buy another grinder but I am not sure about buying the same.... well who knows! Thanks for the video, I reckon it would be really help full for anyone
Thank you for your idea i just bought coffee grinder and just recieved now. I will buy a nut to fix this..... this video is helpul tnx from Philipines....
I have a old fashioned style square wooden box grinder that keeps going loose. I put a little mark with white paint on the adjustment nut and since it is on top, I can keep adjusting it while I grind, but it would be nice if I could figure out a way to make it stay in place better. mmmmm. . . Lock spring washer? I believe the expensive grinders have springs involved with keeping tension on the nut to keep it from unscrewing.
I think it would help to put a lock washer (or even just a plain washer) under the new nut. I recently got a nearly identical grinder free through Amazon Vine. I haven't used it enough to have it slip yet, and now I can keep it that way.
Hmm a washer would wok also.....or two nuts. I easily adpted my hand grinder to use with my cordless drill with a long hex nut. best with a drill that can do low speeds.
M6-1.00 Nylon Insert Lock Nut, Plain Finish, A2 Stainless Steel, Right Hand thread This locking nut will work lot better for occasional adjustments. If you adjust very often buy a dozen and change the nut after a dozen adjust ment or so. The lock will wear out.
Hey. That looks like the grinder I have. My nut grind size has a notch when I turn it. Spring loaded. I fill that top all the way up. Put the handle on. If I want to change the courseness. Turn upside down, crank a few times to get beans out. Remove cup, then I turn all the way closed and the out 10 to 13 notches. I don't know if a notch is a full turn. Put cup back on, turn right side up. I crank at about 50 rpm for my taste. If ya crank to fast, like you said, I think they bounce around and don't fall in all the way. Yep I give it a shake too to hear how many I have left. I should take it apart and see how the notch works. Thanks for the video, it's the best one.
Indeed, newer ones has a notch but I wonder how long the plastic notch will last. I have since tried a better grinder that will grind with more precision. Meaning less small and less large grinds, concentrating the good flavors.
I modified mine to grind extremely fine by placing a washer between the ceramic burr and the hex nut. And to seal it, I did when you did and applied a m6 lock nut. The downside is that it now takes around 4 minutes to grind 7 grams. But, I'm getting extremely fine being from a $10 grinder. I'll spend the 4 minutes haha
Oh my god! thanks a lot for sharing this video! I was looking for making an espresso video with a hand grinder which you mentioned but I haven't found that in your channel. (9:32) this trick was superbly usable and good for espresso lovers with a low budget! could you please link that video here🙏🏻
@@BeatTheBushDIY the nut with nylon insert is for vibration and i think they call them “nyloc”, some might call it a lock nut and it might serve here quite well. The nylon stops the nut from spinning freely but isn’t equivalent to a second nut. Two nuts tighten together and place the bolt under so much tension they jam in place and hold position.
The job will be much marvelous if you use a M6 Lock Nut instead of the common nut. A lock nut is one nut with some plastic on the thread which will stop any loosening of tightness.
Possibly. If you use a lock nut, you wont use the included nut that has a plastic knob attached to it. But it is to be seen if a single lock nut has enough friction to keep it from moving. A double nut is dead solid.
Who knew that darn nut was loosening?! I mainly grinder for pour overs & the slight variation isn’t important. Though I’ve started making espresso so this hack is critical and worth finding the right nut.

That's very helpful. A brilliantly simple solution to a problem which the manufacturer should have thought of.

It appears later models now introduce a locking groove that prevents it from slipping. However, it isn't too secure still.
good thing i saw this video before, never knew i would buy a hand grinder and the original nut actually loosening itself..

Those models of grinders are perfect for Aeropress inside tube.
True.
THANK YOU. That was very helpful ☕
This was an amazing trick
Excellent hack! I'm thinking a nylon insert hex lock nut might even go 1 step further but might not be necessary. Cheers!
So far, using two nuts just locks it forever. I never had to retighten once.
M6-1.00 Nylon Insert Lock Nut, Plain Finish, A2 Stainless Steel, Right Hand thread
This locking nut will work lot better for occasional adjustments. If you adjust very often buy a dozen and change the nut after a dozen adjust ment or so. The lock will wear out.
This worked well for the time being. Newer ones has a groove that will hold the nut in place but could be prone to wearing out.
I did the same. I used a wing nut which makes it easier to loosen or tighten when I have to change grind setting for different beans
If I change the grind size, it'll screw up all the training I did in how long to pull the shot.
Hey. That looks like the grinder I have. My nut grind size has a notch when I turn it. Spring loaded. I fill that top all the way up.
Put the handle on. If I want to change the courseness. Turn upside down, crank a few times to get beans out. Remove cup, then I turn all the way closed and the out 10 to 13 notches. I don't know if a notch is a full turn. Put cup back on, turn right side up. I crank at about 50 rpm for my taste.

Indeed, newer ones has a notch but I wonder how long the plastic notch will last. I have since tried a better grinder that will grind with more precision. Meaning less small and less large grinds, concentrating the good flavors.
Mine is still going strong. I've burned through a couple coffee pots. My last maker is an Aeropress.

Glad it helped!
Great tip! Gonna try it
Very helpful; thank you! 👍👍
Wow, thanks for the tip.
thank u thank u thank u so much, this was much needed to know before i buy one. thank u again.
Use a locking nut with a nylon insert.
Not needed when two nuts are used.
I modified mine to grind extremely fine by placing a washer between the ceramic burr and the hex nut. And to seal it, I did when you did and applied a m6 lock nut. The downside is that it now takes around 4 minutes to grind 7 grams. But, I'm getting extremely fine being from a $10 grinder. I'll spend the 4 minutes haha
Thanks man! I was about to throw mine away until I saw your video!
I dunno.
Great video tutorial, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tip, thanks👍
That's genius, thanks my friend
Not really
Now, that's a good video!! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Bro, i think the steel washer between the spring and the ceramic burr is inverted. You need to flip it, the protruding side needs to be on top
I'll take a look next time I use this thing.
Oh my god!

You have installed what is known as a "lock nut". Good fix!
I thought lock nuts are typically a nut with nylon ring.
@@BeatTheBushDIY the nut with nylon insert is for vibration and i think they call them “nyloc”, some might call it a lock nut and it might serve here quite well. The nylon stops the nut from spinning freely but isn’t equivalent to a second nut. Two nuts tighten together and place the bolt under so much tension they jam in place and hold position.
I would also like to suggest adding a crush washer and or a nyloc nut. Then you would never need to worry about tightening it ever again.
That works too but two nuts have worked for months so I recommend it.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks ! this helped. i guess they have this product all over the world
Many different brands makes the same exact thing.
