  • When Eureka say it is a powerful grinder it isn't just all torque obviously...

    • 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'd be interested to know what the "new" ones look like...

        • I think I've read about in another forum, could be in the US, the new declumper is metal and the portafilter is slightly thicker

          • 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.

                    Good reminder... I must make use of some holiday time and get the plasti-dip on.

                    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.

                    • Try wiping the dust off the Atom’s feet with a wet cloth - they get pretty sticky then and this may help in stopping the torque effect for you

                      • I think you will find that some of the early ATOMs that came into Australia as private imports had the black filter holder.

                        Since then the Australian specified models (and current spec ) have the thicker stainless steel filter holder.

                        The start of this thread has a review on a private import with the black filter holder. This may have added to the confusion.


                        We have some pretty sharp pricing on the ATOMs at the moment including free delivery Australia wide

                        • This is the updated holder. All stainless and quite a bit thicker then the original black holders

                          Cheers

                          • 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.
