Can the grinder part be replaced if it's overused, or breaks eventually? If so, do they sell those small parts?

I don't know the answer. But I would think it is cheaper to replace the whole unit. The product is pretty well made. I think you would have to abuse it to wear it out.

Customer Service is very helpful and will be able to answer that question. I contacted them at info@epareusa.com.

When I researched the grinder I learned that the burrs are replaceable and the troubleshooting portion of Baratza's website has very detailed instructions on how to do that. The grinder is also repairable by the owner if something fails, which is not the case with so many other brands; they just have to be thrown away and replaced. There were several owners which really loved their machine. I went with those owner reports, the best indication of a quality product. The customer service is outstanding also.

Hi Joyce, you can! I actually just had to do this and the prices are pretty reasonable. If you do not see the replacement part listed on their website at: http://www.sunpentown.com/paacforicema.html , just call and they have it. I have had the machine for about 7 months and it has worked great for me so far.

I would advise against it. I never tried it but it I think that is stretching its capability. I think a grinder would do a better job.

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

All you do is pull up on the grinder assembly like you do when you clean it. The new one is a direct drop-in replacement. No instructions are needed, or provided.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes this can be replaced and we do sell them. Thank you and have a great day.

No idea. I did search for some, seems the grinder unit it the easiest thing to find. I do know you can buy grinder plates that should be interchangeable, but not sure about the rest

I haven't taken it fully apart, but I did disassemble the grinding mechanism to show a friend of mine. that part does come apart easily. the grinder also comes with a pack of Grindz, which is a grinder cleaner. I have not used it yet. the instructions say Grind is "an all-natural, safe, and easy way to keep your grinder fresh and clean." I also know that the base is one component & will not disassemble.

Why? I had my previous from Capresso for 8 years and never had a problem with the grinder. Other parts gave out and the grinder was still going strong! Please consult the manufacturer.

The spindle size is I think metric that's not what is important they have adapters that go over the spindle to accommodate a 1 inch diameter hole in the grinding wheel it's also necessary to have that adapter to space the wheel away from the body of the grinder and centered in the cowling. Don't lose one of the spacers they cost $100 each to replace.

I have not yet dismantled the grinder yet-- but I do know that the mill is adjustable-- and that the grinders are large enough to handle Coffee berry/beans just fine. Ask me in a year or two, if I have had a chance to tear into it by then.-- Mack

As best I can tell from the website, it is the Model number for that grinder. Here is an example; Zassenhaus Beech Wood Coffee Knee Mill Model 156BU. They have been making these since the 1800's. So I would assume that this number is important for repair parts.

I haven't had a chance to take it apart therefore can not give you a good answer to that. But you should look at a very important factor. The fact that the grinders are so affordable it should not even matter much, unless you are thinking to buy it for 20+ years. I am working in a metal/fabrication shop as a welder for 5+ years now and never had a problem with grinders of good quality like: dewalt, ridgid and others. And i am abusing them on a daily bases quite systematically. If i was to take a guess then i would say that most likely it has the brushes on it, otherwise they would have marketed it as being brush-less I haven't had a chance to take it apart therefore can not give you a good answer to that.

Yes, and we had the same problem with our other grinder. There is a plastic top that you cannot see in the picture that covers the top. You remove the top and turn it over to dispense.

Dunno about the replacement, but for cleaning, once a month with Full Circle grinder cleaner tablets. The best!
