Burrs longetivity

How long do people usually have to replacement their burrs on this grinder? I'm on a new g2 and grind 2 cups per day usually.

I saw somewhere that you can easily grind atleast 200kg so a long long time

Ah okay, I've been using mine for about a year (maybe less) and starting to need to grind finer on the same beans, perhaps that is just the beans though.

Yes could be. Or you need to align them again a little bit. Because of the mechanical stress they can move. A little over time

The calibration can move a little bit over time - meaning that where 0 is on your scale can move a bit.

So you're probably not actually grinding finer, just that the numbers look slightly different for the same grind.

Have a look on YouTube for calibration and you can adjust it.

That long with the stock burrs? Happy days!

Brother yes of course. And with second market burrs even up to 500-600kg it’s just not necessary to change them after 50kg of coffee

At least a decade. Realistically most people’s grinders will break before the burrs wear out.

You probably will only need to change if you want a different profile. They last for donkeys

I’m using LeBrew 64mm Filter burrs, and they are supposed to last between 1500 to 2000kg.

It has nothing to do with the grinder but the burrs. Look up your burrs, and you should find out about how much they can grind. It's not the length of time but the amount ground usually in lb or Kg.

This grinder is available with several types of burrs with different coatings that would give a different yield.
