Did anyone buy their eureka atom from Coffee Parts and then get new declumper and portafilter holder? I heard some retailers are providing them for free
I'm pretty sure that change happened months ago. The black portafilter holder was the thin one and the stainless one you see in my posts in June is the new thicker one. I haven't pulled mine apart yet for a clean (might do that later today!) so I can't comment on the declumping mechanism, but I think from videos etc they look metal? I bought mine from Coffee Parts and haven't heard anything from them. Why them specifically?

So are you saying the new one is the stainless steel one and the old one was black or did you spray it black? I bought mine end of May and it has a stainless steel one, but I'm not sure if that is the new or old one.
I purchased mine from Coffee Parts and emailed them regarding these new changes. They said they'd check with Eureka and get back to me but never did.
The original Atoms came with a black portafilter fork, that was apparently a bit thin. The stainless ones are the new ones, mine is stainless but I painted it with black plasti-dip.

Ah thanks for clearing that, so I guess I do have the new one then.

Definitely worth checking it out and pretty easy to get access to things.
NOTE: The two screws holding on the top of grind chute seem like they've been strategically placed to ensure you'll be most likely to end up dropping in to the body of the grinder.
So I've noticed that whenever I pull my first shot in the morning in the Atom, it'll take about 18-20 seconds. And if I pull a shot after that or after another 2, the time taken is around 27-30 without making any changes to grind adjustment. Any idea why? Is it cos of burr temperatures?
Are you purging? Sounds like stale grinds. I purge at least 3.0s before the first shot of the day. Then the first shot is slightly faster (1-2s) than the second but not too bad.

I do purge, but I think I may need to purge longer, will give that a try.
