Nemox Lux Burr Grinder

Fixya is unable to suggest sources for a knob for an EL 60 burr grinder.

If the parts are not listed separately, the motor and gears are a completely separate assembly. A replacement motor (assembly) would include the gears

I've long ago lost the manual that came with my grinder (I actually don't remember if it even had one), but I don't think it listed grinding times. You just grind a few seconds and check, then grind a little more if it's still too coarse. Unlike a burr grinder which is adjustable, in a blade grinder the same grind time may result in different consistencies as you change beans. By now I've just learned how long to hold the button for the different beans I buy, and the first few times I try a new blend or varietal I have to adjust the time. I think you'll just need to experiment and then you'll know what works best for your tastes.

Relax and be patient, problem is evident and it can be solved. you will need one key for releasing oil filters(borrow from your mechanic but it is good to be 3 legged one)

Detection of problems:

1. You have old burrs and they chew coffee, they don't cut grind any more. Because of that coffee is overheating = burning(after that you have very bitter espresso)
2. Upper holder of burrs is jammed and it needs to be released and removed for cleaning.

Repairing:

Repairing 2=

• Remove hose and dozer cover, jam the blocking pin in open position (to not block the burr holder), take the oil filter key and input it in burr holder, start moving left and right slowly
• When you see that you can move the burr holder than check again blocker pin and roll against fine grinding, to release the holder. do not go more than quarter of revolution, you can break the block pin with filter key leg.
• Replace the key and continue releasing
• When you once get it out you should clean very around grinders and all the place from coffee.
• Remove the block pin and the spring below it
• Screw the holder in place and be sure it goes inn easy
• NOW IF YOU HAVE NEW BURRS YOU CAN REPLACE THEM
• In case you don't have than measure the diameter to be sure what you are asking for.
• Assemble back the grinder and test it with old ones once(might be you set it too fine and that is the reason for burning)

PS. do not hesitate to ask me for further instructions' such is burr changing.

Hi,

Obviously you got a bad product... I would return it and try a different product....

I have had a crusinart burr grinder for a couple of years and girnd tons of coffee and it has served me well...

Hi
If you only got the lower burr it won't work. They should be matching burrs.
If you don't do it right, you will damage the grinder. You need a #10 Torex bit.

Insert the bit into the screw in the middle of a very clean grinder. Turn clockwise to loosen. Once the screw is out, pull the burr out, but be careful. There are ball bearings and springs under the burr. Make sure that everything is clean before reassembly. There are 3 holes in the bottom of the grinder. The springs go into the holes first. Then the ball bearings set on top of the springs. Place the new lower burr on top of the springs. A washer and the corkscrew go in next. Insert the screw in and with the bit in place turn (with a little down force) clockwise until the screw drops into place, then turn counterclockwise. It should turn fairly easy. Once you start putting pressure on the springs, try to turn the corkscrew. There is a notch that it slips into in the bottom of the grinder. Once it locks into place keep turning the screw until you start to turn the burr. That should be tight enough. Now reassemble the top burr and adjust.

NOPE I buy pre-ground coffee

The Krups Burr Grinder GVX2 featured in the picture is not a coffee maker, per se, it only grind coffee beans to use in other coffee makers. It is a lousy machine, and I would recommend returning it or not buying it.
DO NOT PUT WATER INTO THIS MACHINE. It will cause electric shock.

1. take out bean container
2. disassemble 3 philips screws and take plastic out
3. rotate the knob to try to get out the upper holder of burr. if it does not rotate than disasemble the knob and the gears(plastic big one is attached to upper holder of grinder, the other is together with knob.
4. tru to rotate it manualy, with help of extra srews puted in gear holder holes.
5. when you get it out, carefuly clean it, look for metal parts and stones(wich sometime comes with coffee)

1. turn on the grinder and attach gently one marker to lower burr during spining. after you stop grinder, look if it is perfect circle marked in burr. if it is not than marked side is higher. you should consider getting it ok by putting adhesive paper under lower burr and check it again.

good luck and carefuly.
