Well, after waiting nearly a month for a E65S GBW grinder on back order, it's being shipped tomorrow. Hopefully, it will arrive by Christmas to take its place by my new Dalla Corte Mina.

I still need to find some beans to season the burrs (where do you get these?) and more to start playing with the DCM flow profiling and pulling shots... Santa is coming early!

Cheers!

Hope your will come better aligned than mine.
Anyway, even if misaligned badly as mine was, do not give up, it can be done, needs time and patience and some alu foil.

Take care not to adjust finest setting to tight, when motor starts spinning rotating burr rises a tiny bit.... leave some play there.

I recived mine a couple of month ago. I love the machine. I did have to adjust the burrs to get the grind down fine enough. Now that we have a few pounds of coffee through it, I find that I need to keep opening the gap a little. It seems like the burrs are getting broke in. I zeroed it on my default grind setting for my normal beans (I rarely change beans). So now the DDD reads 0.000mm > 0.07mm . I am still trying to find out what the red 0.07 means.

That's going to be a good-looking setup.

@txrpls
Did you have to just adjust mechanism or to align the burrs?

I adjusted the burrs. I could tell that they where not perfectly parallel by when turning. I think after a few pounds through the machine, they are much closer to parallel. I keep having to open the grind a little after time.

Did you use the marker and aluminum foil method?

Thanks Giboja for your reply... I will report back on my findings on the burr alignment and overall impression of the unit. I have precision equipment for measurements and precision shims as well (machinists kit), so I will be eager to learn how well aligned it is and how easy it is to adjust if necessary.

Cheers!

Did you get some outdated beans for the initial seasoning? If so, where did you get them, a local artisan roaster?

Cheers!

Grocery store beans for seasoning, $5/lb.
