Sunbeam EM0480 grinder not fine enough - possible to mod?
Re: Sunbeam EM0480 grinder not fine enough - possible to mod?
Getting one sent out, fairly good support Sunbeam have going on there. Dont know why youd bother painting a PVC pipe as it would still look crap. Not sure about static its just to direct the grinds from going everywhere..

Yes - 90deg bend? and 25mm
Bunnings have clear silicon tubes 70mm long that would do the trick, and look a lot better than a white pvc pipe.. I bought the wrong one (25mm) but the 20mm would probably work.
Should just hit up sunbeam for one
YES..
Also the clear PVC makes teh static worse.... As per my link above...

how long is the silicon sleeve? i may see if i can find something at bunnings, as long as there is still enough clearance to grind into the group handle.
Just get a 90 20mm pvc elbow and cut in the middle..
Been done many times and lots of pics posted on CS.
Search the grinder section..
dont know what that is do you mean 90deg bend? just measured it and would need something 25mm dia. to sit over the top of the spout. will have a look at bunnings, but nothing came up under a quick search.
May even be in the box will have to check.

Re: Sunbeam EM0480 grinder not fine enough - possible to mod?
Ive just bought one of these grinders. When I first put together, beans would not grind at all, the motor would get very hot and I could smell burning.... Called Sunbeam and they mentioned to pull apart, clean and try again..This is a brand new unit, was my response. Shouldnt it work straight out of the box??
Anyway, I did as she advised. When I reset the basket in the grinder, I found the arrow and the line had lined up but could twist in place so left it.. Dont know if this is the right thing to do.. theres no mention in the manual.
So I put beans in, its now working, BUT now I find the finest I can get is extremely course like sand. When I compared to preground shopping beans there is a huge difference.
To compare, I have tried a espresso with the preground shop beans and to my amazement I get crema! I would expect the fresh stuff to be alot better
So anyway, back to replace the unit this morning. I have noticed that the basket is set the same way as the previous ones, i.e with the basket and machine not lined up. This was the same case as last time, so now Im reluctant to use it until I know this is correct. Are everyone elses grinders basket and burrs lined up this way??
also to note.. this grinder now comes with a silicon sleeve to put over the spout to minimise mess.. Works quite well :-)
Re: Sunbeam EM0480 grinder not fine enough - possible to mod?
Thanks for the explanations, can be a lot of user errors haha ;D
Not really a bad machine for $160 but the quality control seems a bit poor, and makes a hell of a mess. The included tamping mat is pointless using it as grinds come out and go everywhere, but ok if you use it on the bench.
