dndrich hornbyben I actually have some coconut oil at home. I may try it. At room temperature it is a paste.
Inspector I was also worried about olive oil getting sticky over time but i clean my Niche about every two-three months and reapply oil and havent noticed it. If you were to leave it there for a year or so, maybe. Good to know about coconut oil vs olive oil đ
darkstefano I have a niche i disassembly end clean it once a month. If I understand the question, it can be could the part adjustment piece that moves badly up/down. Check the springs that hold the piece around the conical. Also check that the piece has no coffee hardned around bottom frame.
dndrich darkstefano No, the basic issue is the threads are binding without lubrication and perhaps with some fine coffee grounds in there. So cleaning and lubing is the thing that needs to be done. It says so also in the Niche user manual. So now I will do that. Working quite well now with the olive oil lube, but I will try coconut oil next time.
Bennyh6 I have had a horrendous 3 weeks post cleaning my Niche Zero of terribly inconsistent grinds. I would adjust finer and my shots would run longer and vice versa and i couldnât understand it. Similar symptoms to described, the spring loaded outer burr seemed to be catching as you pushed it down or tightened it. End result after pulling it apart about a dozen times, one of the springs was catching on the edge of the hole they sit in. Springs didnât seem out of shape either. I gently machined a small 45* angle/chamfer to the spring hole with a 6mm drill bit (by hand) to allow spring to reseat itself without intervention. It is now back to its reliable self again thank goodness!

JammyDodger DavecUK DavecUK If you have haemorrhoids, you can always use Vaseline, or a chap stick if you have badly chapped lips. Can you still do this if you donât have haemorrhoids Dave or do you have to be âin the clubâ so to speak?
