I rather agree with Randy on this. While I like my M3 a great deal, I'd not be tempting the alignment gods that way. Turn it on again for a second a minute after grinding and all that stuff will drop out, or put it next to the knock box and the shock through the counter will do the same.

Best,
David

This maneuver combined with turning the M3 on and off shakes out a lot of grinds. If you are going to try this be careful, the M3 may go out of alignment if dropped with any force.
I've been on H-B too long to sneak this into the newbie hall of shame :oops: Once the wiper was properly adjusted, turning the grinder on and off did the job just fine. Thanks for setting it straight.

Wiper only cleaning leaves behind a fair amount of grounds when the coffee has been ground very fine. A fine, long bristle brush will remove a bit more.

This thread is great. It served me well in staying away from this great piece of design that the M3 is, and put my money on a company with many years of experience making just grinders.

I have owned my M3 for 1 1/2 years now, and couldn't be happier. It is the BEST coffee equipment purchase I made. Sure it was expensive, but once you own an M3 you put to rest grinder upgrade-itis for good. End of story.

This thread is already more than 20 pages long and over 4 years old, so I took the liberty of splitting the last few posts to Getting started with the Versalab M3 grinder and Versalab M3 grinder owners. Also see Recent Versalab M3 performance.
