- How to easily modify a Sboly Conical Burr grinder to give the perfect espresso, using a 3d printed spacer/packer. This performs as well as machines costing 2-3 times the price. I love it.
If you enjoyed the video - please consider buying me a coffee to support the channel. I'd really appreciate it; a little coffee can go a long way to motivate a Hengineer!

Thanks to youtuber - / @marygoolooloo6742 for the lovely piano jazz and for the royalty free use. Lovely stuff!
Thank you Very much Sir! I owe you a million dollars for this idea.
Thanks so much for the video. Being an HVAC guy, I'm much more comfortable with metal. Bought some 1mm food grade stainless and went to work with a step bit, a Dremel, and some half round files. Did the TRICK!!!
Thank you Hengineer ! I used the file you shared to order to a local 3D lab some flanges for my Sboly grinder and now it grins powder for turkish cofee. The 0.4 mm thight was perfect for me to not grind himself. Thank you very much!
I was able to use aluminium foil instead of paper, folding it several times before: tracing, cutting, and fitting it as a spacer. I would say its a great alternative to paper, for those who don't have a 3d printer!
Nice 1. Im gonna give this a try. Thanks.
Excellent. Thank You for the 3D Model, printing it before my Grinder arrives.
Brilliant!
I was just about to dust off the old AutoCAD skills when I heard you mention you had provided the files. And in .STL form as my buddy with the 3D printer has requested.
We'll have this Sboly grinding like a Baratza in no time!
Thanks! I was about to throw the grinder away since I initially purchased it for espresso grinding. Getting some nice crema and flow!
Another without a 3D printer, any chance I could buy one from you?
I would love to get hold of these washers. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge or equipment to produce them. Has anyone started selling them yet?
Did you put the dial at number 12?
Thank you
Hello .
Do you sell these
thank you i did a cardboard one for now this makes these great grinders
Great idea Hengineer. Most of us don't have the equipment to replicate your spacer ring, so I just took some leftover plastic I trimmed from my dog's Elizabethan collar (0.7 mm thickness and extremely rugged but slightly flexible) and traced the spacer, cut it out using an exacto knife and bingo! I don't get powder grind for Turkish but definitely good enough for espresso. Great stuff! Thanks!
Hi , thanks for the hack , but I do not have a 3D printer , anyway you could post a shim template, which i could open as a jpeg image ?
I found a 3D print service online in my area.
Interesting. I have a very similar looking grinder from Kitchenbrothers and will try to do the same. UPDATE it works. Thanks.
This is a fantastic hack but I'm wondering how it impacts the coarser grinds. If I want a coarse grind for cold brew, for example, will I have to remove the flange?
@@msmoussem9025 - the coarse settings are preserved. The machine barely cuts a bean in half at that end!
@@hengineer1 Ha, thanks!
Such a good little coffee grinder except it doesn't grind nearly close enough for espresso. I am hoping that with this very simple mod I can get it close. I cut a gasket out of a plastic bottle that is about 1mm thick. I hope it works.
Await what?!? This sounds super cool. So maybe you could help me hack my Baratza Encore to bring extra fine for Turkish coffee?
Do you think that could work?
Thanks so much for your time!!
😃✌️💕
Hello - I think it works in a similar way. The part I designed might not fit directly as manufacturers use different sized parts, however the principle should still work. If you take it apart (video here: ruclips.net/video/l0oxFolHbNA/видео.html) you could trace round the metal part onto a piece of card and fit it like I did with the pink 3d printed packer and see if that helps. Just be sure not to add too much thickness or the metal parts will grind together and break your machine, and make sure to turn it off and unplug before putting fingers in there! Have fun and thanks for watching... PS: these grinders can be dangerous, please do so at your own risk!
Alternatively, you could buy the grinder recommended in the comments and get the same results... up to you!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and explain.
I guess if I wanna try this I'll have to buy a 3D printer.
Which I'll have to research.....
Where do I download the matrix for this grinder model? Thanks
how do we purchase the shim
I can send you one
This is interesting and I hope I can do something similar on my different brand grinder!
I recommend getting yourself a funnel for the portafilter so you can grind straight into it rather than having to scoop the grinds over!
so, i need to have a 500 euros 3d printer , just to "improve" my 50 euros grinder. it makes sense xDDD
My library offers 3D printing for a few dollars. I'm sure if you wanted to you can find a place that will do it for you for a minimal charge. No need to be sarcastic.
