MediumRoastSteam I tend to agree, but then if it is a potential preventative measure there wouldn’t be a problem to solve.

The adjustment has always seemed fine to me, certainly not loose, but then who knows what might happen over time.

      PortafilterProcrastinator - I had mine for over 3 years - granted I only drink espresso and clean every 3 months, so I don’t move the adjustment that much apart from minor tweaks around that range when changing beans, which it’s usually even week or so. It has never moved by itself.

        you would have to be an aggressive twister to trash the threads? no?

          DavecUK Oh dear lord, powerful case of confirmation bias happening here, lol lol……as the opticians ads say here, “should’ve gone to SpecSavers…”

            DavecUK my thought on the PFTE was, why not just clean the threads properly??? Or is that my OCD talking?

              I remember once asking the storeman at wok if he had any Poly Tetra Fleuro Ethylene tape , he replied that he didn’t , so I asked for a roll of PTFE tape which he duly gave me.

              He was none the wiser.

                DavecUK That was the time to ask for some left handed screwdrivers….

                Oooh, a left handed screwdriver. I’m very very left handed, so yes please 😁. Mind you, when I broke my left elbow 4 years ago and had my arm from my knuckles up to my shoulder set in plaster at 45 degrees for 7 weeks, it wouldn’t have been much use. I couldn’t do the simplest of tasks and my other half had to do virtually everything for me, cut up my dinner, help me dress etc…but she drew the line at one thing and said if I couldn’t manage it, she would just take me into the garden turn me round and hose me down… that’s love for you.

                  PortafilterProcrastinator Nightrider_1uk That would be holy grail wouldn’t it? One grinder that could be conical OR flat?? (I hesitate to say one grinder to rule them all, but I can’t help myself)

                  Would this be possible, given how different conical and flat burrs are?

                  Wouldn’t that essentially be the Hedone Honne or Versalab M4 with both conical and flat? I must say the Hedone Honne seems very interesting to me, but don’t see too many reviews lately about it. Work flow seems one of the best also.

                      No luck picking up a bag of sparks yesterday, these stores never have what you want in stock…
