Beautiful video. I have just purchased a Timemore G1 Plus and the instructions state "it's not recommended that customers disassemble or replace any part of it." It advises cleaning only with the brush. Your method seems much more thorough.
Thank you for the most zen video I think I’ve ever watched. Also very helpful. How on Earth did you not drop the washer through the slats of the table? 🤷🏼♂️😎👍
Hey, I have a little question to everyone here. Did you also discover scratches and stuff near the thread and the bottom part, where the coffee drops in after grinding? I mean it's not strange, much force is applied to threads. But I have metal dust or colour dust on it, if I touch it I can see it on my fingers or If I clean it on the paper. Did you made the same experience?
Thanks for the thorough disassembly and relaxing backdrop :) Does it make any difference which side you insert the smallest washer? Or is it symmetrical? Thanks again!
Hey I know this is 2 months after you asked but I personally would absolutely recommend this grinder. I got the original chestnut slim and used it for a couple years, never once had a problem with it. I used it for excellent espresso and pour over. The new ones (chestnut slim plus) come with an upgraded burr set, which they claim work even better for doing both pour over and espresso. I haven’t tried that one yet. Typically it takes about 30 seconds to grind a dose, and it can fit a maximum of about 25 grams of beans in the hopper. My only advice is to be very careful when taking it apart not to loose any parts. I took mine apart and lost the little washer beneath the spring, had to buy a whole new one because they don’t sell replacements 😢. Wonderful grinder though.
I've been using the new chestnut slim plus with E&B burr for a few months, to answer your question can it grind fine enough, yes. Does it grind faster compared to the old burr yes, on average less than 1 minute 40-50 seconds depending on the fineness and bean density and roast level. But, because its a stepped grinder, dialling-in is abit difficult.
The aggressive 5-star E&B (espresso & brew) burrs with make quick work of the beans however the adjustment steps are too far apart for espresso in my experience. With a 6-clicks setting, the grind is too fine which chokes the shot, resulting in a bitter, over-extracted pull. Stepping up to 7 clicks, the grind is then too loose and pulls too fast, resulting in a sour underextracted shot. You can, however dial it in by setting the pointer somewhere in between those adjacent notches and it'll work. The problem with that is I'm using the grinder in a way that's not intended and may have long-term negative effects on the grinder, given the little ball bearings under the adjustment dial are not seated correctly in the recessed notches. As a result all of the spring pressure is loaded on these two tiny points of the steel balls rather than distributed from the dial across the entire bottom surface of the inner burr and the adjustment plate.

Thank you for the thorough disassembly. I went through 7 videos and materials until I found yours with my model.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and also very relaxing :) :)

Washer?
A delicious cup in 2021☕
Hey just wondering if you can recommend this grinder. Can you go fine enough for espresso? How long does it take to grind a typical dose?
I haven't tried mashing to make espresso with La Marzocco anytime soon, I'll give it a try.
