Great to hear you got it to work after shimming GMeddy. I too saw that positive review and wanted to believe that I could turn at $30 machine into something more! I tried shimming it with one of those red canvassy tap washers, because that seemed to be the thickness that other guy referred to. But it must've been too thick still, because the burrs wouldn't turn and the machine started to make a sickly screaming sound. Took it off and it works again but I am still questing after as good an espresso grind as this thing is capable of delivering.
So - could you please tell us exactly what shim you used and where you can buy them? And any particular fitting instructions (e.g. whether you need to drill three holes in it, same as the burr). Much appreciated.
