introduction:
The mill doesn't have to be broken for it to be "broken"...
In many cases, the cup gradually goes bad... and the reason is: a grinder that no longer performs its function.
Let us explain to you the 5 most important indicators that tell you that the time for change has arrived.
1. Uneven Grind
☑️ You will notice that the grinding has become a fine powder and coarse pieces.
❌ Extraction becomes fluctuating: sometimes the cup is heavy, sometimes weak.
🎯 This is the first and most obvious sign that the blades have lost their accuracy.
2. It takes longer to grind or makes a strange sound.
🕰️ If the mill gets "tired" with every batch of ben
🔊 Or there is an unusual rubbing sound
📌 This indicates internal corrosion or weakness in the axis.
3. The taste has become different despite the consistency of the coffee and preparation.
☕ Same crop, same tool, but the cup doesn't fit right?
✅ The problem is most likely with the grinding, not the coffee.
4. Heat or dust starts to come out while grinding.
🔥 If the grinder gets hot or smells "burning"
🌫️ Or you notice a lot of coffee residue scattered around
📌 The gears are often dull or overstressed.
5. You cannot grind on fine or coarse grinds consistently.
⚙️ Trying to adjust it the way you want it (V60 or espresso), but it doesn't work?
🎯 This means loss of control, and needs to be upgraded or maintained (or completely replaced).
✅ Conclusion:
The grinder is what "draws" the flavor of your coffee...
If it seems to give you strange results, don't be too patient.
Change it, and you will see the difference from the first cup.
