I have a ECA KS grinder. I bought it second-hand from a fellow CSer and it is my first grinder.
A quick question, what is the expected life from a set of burrs? I remember being told about 80kg, am I remembering correctly?
Today I actually pulled it apart for the first time and removed the burrs to clean them. I would not describe them as blunt but they are not impressively sharp either ie you wouldnt cut yourself on them. How sharp should they be, remember I have not seen new burrs so I have no reference/idea what new burrs are like
As an aside, I know its a low end grinder but I am impressed with the simplicity and functionality of the KS. Im a fan of the KISS principle and the KS fits this and is sturdily built. Ive been eyeing off a few Mazzers with envy lately but I am looking at the KS with a new respect/fondness now :P
