Getting started with the Versalab M3 grinder
Actually Dr.Bean came up with this kit about only five months ago. There must be more than ten M3 grinders in Taiwan and most of us had belt slipping problem. It screamed like hell. By the way, I'm one of the earliest owner and versalab provided the new bearings, a shim of newer version, and an inst...

Getting started with the Versalab M3 grinder
After installing the toothed belt kit, my M3 grinder works well.

I've bought a torque wrench to have the ...

Europiccola blowing bubbles

Versalab M3 Grinder
My millennium europiccola has 51~51.5mm baskets and it's probably the smallest suitable basket size for the M3 grinder. I adjust the grind all the time. I think it's quite repeatable even before upgrading the lock knob. As for the upgrading kit, I had to file the underside of the break a little more...
