Today, 08:11 PM Hi all on the look out for a decent size conical grinder , koney robur whu Jake

I'm tempted to offer you my Ceado E92, very little used, perhaps 50Kg through in total (perhaps not even that)…Cost me quite a lot though, so not a cheap grinder.

Ohhh sounds nice but also expensive 🤣 budget is around £500 max

> @"Cuprajake"#p7580 Ohhh sounds nice but also expensive 🤣 budget is around £500 max It is, and £500 would come nowhere near….A shame because it's sat there doing nothing for almost 4 years now

@"Cuprajake"#p7568 Are you selling your Major then ? 😬

@"DavecUK"#p7582 What’s your price Dave? ![Giphy - Youtube Money GIF by HannahWitton](https://media3.giphy.com/media/FTmVNgU4Z6Ax6jgCsy/giphy.gif?cid=bb77869fo2atbq3qke874tjasr3rbv2masfkh0qd8mhcx6f2&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)

@"LMSC"#p7607 no i want to try conical next to the major, just for shits n giggles haha

@"Cuprajake"#p7616 Got to be at least the 83 mm burr set to give it a fair shot, is it not ?

> @"LMSC"#p7608 What’s your price Dave? You don't want to know….

@"DavecUK"#p7628 The new including VAT and import duty would cost about £2K, I would imagine.

a couple of E92s were sold for no more than £550 in the past 1.5 years, on CFUK. These days, with the Niche, nothing ex-commercial second hand is selling for anything more than that, however good it might be.

Conical grinder

Lake_M I am renowned for having a crap memory, but when L had my last one, am sure the routine as described my @DavecUK of feeding beans in small quantities, then bellowing (as much in frustration as to clean the chute0, add in genuflecting and the minute bassoon reached. Admittedly, this routine did all but cure the retention, but…….

dfk41 When I used the camera lens hood method it was pretty bad to be honest, but it worked. The addition of the bellows changed everything.

Cuprajake

Which of the older grinders were not to bad for retention

Lake_M

Compak CPF10 on Ebay. 83mm (I assume conical because they run at 350rpm)

Cuprajake

Yeah ive been watching that but its on and off like a yoyo. Has sold more than once to re appear

DavecUK

Cuprajake I think it will have a fair bit of retention as well….unless mods can make it close to retentionless?

Cuprajake

Not sure, but big ass hopper too 🤣

Lake_M

Yeah I was looking at the hopper, not sure how you would set up a bellows on that. The neck is really wide.

It’s gone again.

Cuprajake

I sent them a message of how much they wanted, and they said they wont accept offers then killed the auction…

DavecUK

Cuprajake That’s a bitt odd?

CafeNoir

Cuprajake What the hell? That is very unusual behaviour to put it politely. There will be others mate, found my big flat ex-cafe on GumTree, for what has to have been book value. Be patient and hang in there is my advice.

Cuprajake

yeah why i didnt bother, only 23 feed back

Lake_M

Cuprajake Yeah probably dodged a bullet there.

HVL87 It happens more often with Maragogype type elephant beans

Nightrider_1uk

HVL87 Honestly don’t worry about beans getting stuck under the NFC disk. It may have happened to me once if that?

I’ve had it about 3 times, but they were larger beans, easily sorted

@Cuprajake I had planned on holding onto this 68mm F10 (old model, physical buttons) for a little bit longer before down sizing to a niche, as I only just gave it the paint job and installed and calibrated new burrs. That said, if you are keen on it I could let it go sooner.

I bought it 2-3 years ago ex display in extremely good condition and it has had about 0.75-1kg per month through it since then. New burrs went in last week and have had 1kg run through to hopefully break them in a bit. Let me know if you’re interested

tobyjrn6

I have just realised what an old thread this is, probably not needed, ignore me

Cuprajake

haha, no worries - i too have a niche
