I've tried taking the top burr collar completely off, giving it a clean, and winding it back down again till the burrs are touching, then turning it back a notch. Even then, the pour comes gushing out.
When you do this, is this with the motor running or stopped?
Have you tried grinding and turning the burrs finer until you can hear chirps? The grind coming out should feel quite fine, like gritty flour.
The other thing I have done previously is turn the burrs finer (grinder off) and go beyond touching so they are forced somewhat (within reason) together. This helped an old grinder stop doing what yours is doing.
Just a quick question (not trying to hi-jack the forum) but with the Super Jolly & a packet of new burrs can you fit either burr on top and either on the bottom?
Or is each burr different? (one is made as a top burr, one is made as a bottom burr)
With the obvious exception of conical burrs, in almost every other (flat burr) grinder the burrs come as identical pairs, and it doesn't matter which one is installed where.
About the only exception are Cunill burrs, and even those are identical other than mounting method (top uses 3 x screws, bottom uses a bolt and washer to clamp the inner edge of the burr down).
Apologies especially to EA for not following up - the busyness of life really got the best of me so this was on the back burner (I was using my aeropress and hand grinder to tide me over)
Due to time constraints I eventually decided to just pay and went to an alternative (and ultimately more trustworthy) coffee servicing place and they diagnosed the problem as a burr problem. They replaced the burrs and did some test runs and its good as new now!
So in short I got swindled by the other place. They 'replaced' the burrs but they were defective. I'm thinking about following this up with them when I get a chance, but to be honest, I'm a little over it.
Thanks for all the advice and help along this frustrating journey.
Not going to say name and shame but you would think a simple burr change couldn't go wrong, when they said defective can you elaborate? old or incorrect?
