Maintenance & Cleaning

The EG-1 cleaning process is as easy as it comes. The grind chamber can be opened, thoroughly cleaned, and resealed in a matter of seconds. The top and bottom funnel caps form a clam shell grind chamber and are secured using sets of strong rare earth (Neodymium) magnets. The caps easily snap off the front of the unit, providing the barista complete and unobstructed access to the burr set and wiper system. The best part is that this deep cleaning doesn't affect grind size adjustment or burr alignment.

The upper dosing dish has also been designed to be easily removed for cleaning. Held in place by a pair of Neodymium magnets and a set of stainless steel pins, the dish can be quickly removed from the grinder for a quick wipe down.

At the end of the shift, in the middle, or even when changing the beans, it's fast and easy to clear the grinder of any lingering residue. Ease of cleaning offers more options for using multiples coffees in high volume environments or in other settings such as cupping rooms or roasting labs.

Burr Alignment

A common issue with commercial grinders is the inability to check or adjust burr alignment. In the majority of machines, burrs are buried deep inside the grinder which makes a visual or mechanical inspection impossible. Manufacturers generally don't offer adjustment mechanisms to calibrate a burr set after initial assembly. This makes it very difficult for users to align their grinders.

We designed the EG-1 to make it simple to both verify and adjust burr alignment. The burr set is fully accessible in less than 20 seconds without the need for any tools. Ease of access to the burrs facilitates both regular maintenance and daily cleaning. If necessary, adjustments to alignment can be made with a 4mm metric hex key in a matter of moments without having to disassemble the grinder.

Burr Replacement

We reinvented the burr mount to make this easier to do than with any other commercial coffee grinder. With a 4mm hex tool and a spare 5 minutes, you can swap and perfectly align your EG-1 burrs.
