Used Cimbali 6s / Cimbali Special - How to change burrs

Postby candler.r on Mon Feb 14, 2011 7:12 pm

Hi Everyone
I'm brand new to the forum and to coffee equipment. I have just bought a Cimbali special (or could be 6s) grinder. Can anyone help with the following:

1. How do I change the Burrs (tried but don't know how to get them out)
2. Do you know where I can get a manual for it?

I tried to upload a picture of the grinder but failed - so here is a link to one I found that looks very similar.

In anticipation of your help - many thanks

Thanks for that but unfortunately still cant get the brass upper off where the top burrs are attached. It seems seized and wont turn in any direction. Aghhhhhh!!

Also the link said it just screwed off but I dont see any threads on the pics. Think I will try to contact the author to get more detail

Thanks anyway
