    Re: Help I have some major issues

    Im happy for you loadedogg.

    i can smile inside i can contribute to helping a fellow snob that leads to a satisfactory outcome.

    I guess you have to choose whether to overhaul your current grinder or get a completely new one.

    All the best.

    Big shout to Beanflying for taking the trouble of hauling the grinder over and helping a neighbour in need.
    Sorry to burn yer ears in the first place.

        aw shucks you guys

        So hard standing around a machine making and drinking coffees sorting out problems, time I reconsidered my day job if that was all it took.

        I could do with another K10 grinder maybe I could buy the dodgy one from Loadeddog cheap and get mine back at the same time

            Ok! So now Ive personal spent 11 hrs on beanflyings grinder! This is what making coffee should be like. Such a pleasant warm feeling to know the product your delivering to guest is the best you can make!!! We have been having trouble with our grinder since the beginning! Weve blamed our skills, and spent $$$$ on training stuff we already knew (can never stop learning). Weve blamed our machine and spent $$$$ on service and techs we didnt need. I have Diamond picking up our grinder on Friday and dropping a replacement loaner grinder. I have not put new burs in because I want them to assess the machine as is. There is such a better feel in my cafe, no stress. I did 7 kilos today with next to no concerns at all. Manual to auto and back to manual, no problems. Hopper full, hopper empty no problems. Ive been reading post that say how good the K10 is!!! Well last week I thought you all mad and how mine did nothing but suck!!! Now Ive used beanflyings grinder, Id be happy to continue with compak. I will post results of Diamonds findings as soon as they come to hand. Thanks coffee snobs.

              Bent drive shaft?
              I cannot think of anything else that might cause a good grinder with new burrs to produce bad coffee.

              I look forward to hearing what it was and am happy that Bean Flying helped you troubleshoot it. Nice.

                Its an odd one with the other K10. I dropped the upper burr out yesterday and it was very even clean and showed no signs of off centre wear or touching the lower burr at least with the naked eye. Certainly not a cleaning issue or build up issue as it has been getting a weekly strip and clean by loadeddog in the past. By my reckoning it is also slightly newer than my WBC specced one too if that makes any difference to the doser over the standard K10.

                Going back to my slow DRM at around 22 seconds a triple makes me want back the sub 5 second K10 soon

                  Sounds like it could do double duty as a shot timer ;D

                    Yep not fast but between this one and my other one I have crunched through 8 or 9kg in a day in between tripping out the thermal overloads :

                    Retrieved my K10 late today, nearly had to go back to the car for the baseball bat to take it away from the staff but LD had nearly sorted out the loaner from Diamond. Should mention mine did come back with a full strip and clean of the burrs and doser before pickup 8-)

                    It is going to be interesting to see what they find with the other K10.
