  • Bezzera BB004 hopper magnet

    Hi All,

    I have a Bezzera BB004 grinder and during an over enthusiastic clean I managed to break off the magnet that sits under the cone inside the hopper (see pic).

    What is the purpose of this magnet? I thought possibly to catch damaged burr fragments but it seems a little too high for this plus the magnet is completed clean of metal fragments/filings after >5 years of use.

    If this item is necessary for safe function of grinder can anyone recommend a parts supplier?

    Bonus question: how can I tell if the burs need replacing? I bought machine second hand without knowledge of how much it has been used but have ground 40-80g daily for five years since

    Any advice greatly appreciated

    It's to keep pieces of ferrous metal out of the burrs.
