Re: San Marco Grinder
Ive pulled the burrs out and they were fairly worn. About to order more from CoffeeParts along with burrs for the Carimali that I picked up at the same time.
I havent started to clean too much but it does look in excellent condition internally and I cant think why it wouldnt be an excellent grinder. Already thinking about powder coating the case but will wait for a while

NO, NO, NO.
If youre going to repaint it must be Green, White, and Red. Sheesh!

Nahhh....Originally posted by fix link=1228995817/0#6 date=1229068473aim too help, not to offendonya fix - telling it like it is (hope mal aint offended...)
if people get offended because it is told the way it is, then that is their problem
dont have time for the bullshit
Dont get offended that easy and besides, I dont mind the somewhat rugged, industrial look of my LSM. Anyway, you could always strip her down and have the outer case powder-coated in some exotic shade or another, maybe something to go with your decor? Plan on stripping mine down at some stage in the near future when I have another grinder to use. Cant be without my coffee
.
She is a very imposing presence nonetheless and that might disturb some people looking for a used commercial for home use. As Graham says above though, under the bonnet theyre all quality in the right places. They are a "stepped" grinder but each step only represent about a 2 degree circumferential change on a thread pitch of approx. 1.5mm and I love the rapid change convenience 8-)
Cheers,
Mal.

Re: San Marco Grinder
the old lsm will probably outlive the lot off us
new set of cutters every so often
(worn cutters kill even the expensive grinders)
most people wont buy them because their looks
but looks commercial cause it is
