  • Quick question, if a grinder is creating an increase in fines, is it likely that needing a clean is causing it? Also acknowledge it's a downwards spiral because more fines = more need for cleaning.

    The universe seems to be aligning that after watching a recent JH video where I saw the Lagom Mini for the first time and really liked it, my Svart seems to have really ramped up it's overproduction of fines and the filter choking problem I talked about before seems to have returned with a vengeance.

    Will try cleaning the Svart more frequently before doing anything rash but you know what it's like when a little brain worm sets in.

  • From looking at some videos of the Wilfa Svart it looks like the burr arrangement is the same as a Dualit grinder that I have. The burrs have got quite blunt after many years of use, but the top burr can also develop play in its holder, which would make it rattle. I shimmed mine with some very thin brass (coke can would work) to try to remedy that. Can't promise that it will work but possibly worth a try.

  • Interesting - will take a look at this
    Timer on my Svart is a little flaky but I know my dose is ground when the burr sound moves from grinding to a high pitched scream! I’ve been meaning to investigate for a while and will look at shimming
