If your DiseZeit Manual Coffee Grinder Z1M isn't spinning and grinding your coffee like how it should, this guide will help you unjam the grinder. This guide could also be helpful for routine cleanings of the grinder to prevent more jams, or cross-contamination when switching to new beans.
A manual coffee grinder can get clogged more often than an automatic coffee grinder used in commercial settings, and it can be confusing for individuals who enjoy making quality coffee at home to figure out how to clean out their personal grinding devices. All you will need for this guide is a place to wash the parts of the grinder.
Put the parts of the coffee grinder back together by following steps 5 through 8 in reverse order.
When putting the metal plate and the grinding burr back into the grinder, first make sure to align the hole in the grinding bur and the notch in the metal plate, put the two components together, and then put them into the grinder's body.
When you screw the dial clock-wise back into the grinder's body, it can help to keep the lid of the grinder on and to hold the handle still as you turn the dial. As the dial goes farther into the grinder body, make sure to press down on the metal plate below it to allow the dial to fully screw onto the shaft of the grinder's body.
You can dial in your grinder by making sure the grinder dial is completely screwed onto the shaft in the grinder, and then slowly unscrewing the dial until your grounds are coarse enough for your use.
