80mm burrs experience (SSP, Ditting, EG1, Ultra, Uber...) - Page 15

Is your EG1 v1?

Mine is v2 with operating in a 240v country.

The core burrs stalls with most beans in espresso range with anything lower than 600 rpm. I use 700rpm and it's rock solid at this range even at Turkish setting.

Btw the original cast lab sweet burr don't stall with the EG1 and they produce excellent cups espresso and filter.

I'm using Boyt Super burrs at 700 rpm with my light roasts and no stalling so far.

I always drop 17-20 gram doses in with burrs spinning, a habit I developed using SSP and Core burrs which stalled on occasion with similar and lighter roasts.

When I order somewhere else it's mostly La Cabra, Friedhats etc which roast like TW. I always dump everything and have gone as low as 300rpm and never any problem. So my beans from a roast level perspective are the same as you're using. I dump and start the grinder at the same time and have forgotten to turn the control box on for at least 30 times and even when I cold started it with the beans already in there it's never missed a beat. Mine is just bomber for anything you throw at it.

I would also be disappointed if mine would stall after paying this much for a grinder but it just never happens. Well, I must be lucky mine doesn't do this.

If I could dump beans and cold start this grinder would be perfect for me, but alas I have to slow feed the beans and with a hot start. It is all I know with my EG1, but thats better than living with a stall.
ULF are less prone to stalling, but I can still stall them. Core are very prone to stalling.

Which version is your grinder?
Mine is v2.

Does anyone know if there are lab sweet 80mm burrs (either cast or steel) made by ditting (not SSP), but of the blind variant. I'm looking for the kind you could install in an 805 or Tanzania. I don't think such a variant exists, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any info. Thought this was still pertinent to this thread.

Unfortunately, no, but you can ask SSP to create a custom option from their 80mm range that would fit your Tanzania (or Ditting 805).

I wonder if that's the key difference for stalling. Thanks for sharing Erik.

How is your control box holding up?

Control box is still perfect. Only the first digit nearly of the LED's are broke but that doesn't do anything for function because you need the other two for rpm readings.
