Hi, I’m Paolo from “Le Piantagioni del Caffè” and in this video, I’m going to show you how to replace the burrs.

We’ve disconnected the power socket, so the grinder is safe. We detach the hopper, we remove the seal, and we do an initial clean. At this point, we must loosen these two screws: we can use a torque screwdriver or a slotted screwdriver. Once the two screws have been loosened, we turn it anti-clockwise and unlock the upper part, and we can then access the burrs. We do an initial clean.

We remove the two flaps, which we then clean and we loosen these three screws. Here, we turn clockwise and remove the upper burr. Then we clean it with a brush, inside the grinding chamber also. We vacuum. Now we secure the drive shaft and we loosen these two screws holding the lower burr. Now we remove the lower burr. I remove the lower burr and I thoroughly clean the grinding chamber. We remove the two burrs: so also the upper one.

Now we thoroughly clean all residues of ground coffee before inserting the new burrs. At this point, we take a pair of new burrs and we replace them. Keep in mind that, on this grinder model, it is specified that one of the burrs goes on the part that rotates and another on the stationary part. So be careful not to get the placement wrong because the designs of the burrs are different. This is the stationary burr, which we put back into its holder. Now we reassemble the burr in the grinding chamber. At this point we insert the two “flaps”, after we’ve cleaned and dried them. The metal one goes on the inside.

We reinsert the upper burr, ensuring that it is properly aligned, we turn anti-clockwise and tighten the three screws. At this point, we have to find “zero” on the grinder, then make sure that the burrs make contact. In this case, we hear, the two burrs rotating and meeting so we need to slightly increase the grind (here we were on zero) until the burrs move freely. This will be our zero. We have to press this lever and align moving to zero and refitting the outer ring.

Here, we reposition the upper dial to match zero and, once turned to the lock position, we tighten the last two screws. Once clean, we also reinsert the seal and lastly we reassemble the hopper in its right place. We reconnect the grinder to the power socket and we’re ready to grind coffee and to find the grinding setting that, as I’ve said in the other videos, with 16 g of ground coffee, in 25 seconds, should create around double the amount of liquid.
