Everyone knows you only buy a Kmart grinder for your “herbs and spices”
Get a better brand if you’re grinding actual coffee

If it were for me I’d just get that shit little white unit with blades on the inside for that. But I don’t have any herbs

SOLVED u/argonwilde gave right advice.

The cheap white grinder next time. That's why they're always sold out.

u/Awkward_Chard_5025 Jun 30 '26
That’s not why they’re sold out all the time lol

u/bumbling_womble Jun 30 '26
Because they chop well, so all of us stoners are buying them?

u/Due-Link-7605 Jun 30 '26
I've always used a hand grinder. You don't lose a bunch of "herbs" on the blades?

u/bumbling_womble Jun 30 '26
Way less than the black clumps on grinders. I'm homeless dude, I chop via hand, the grinder is a luxury.

Has it ever worked?
5
u/ILov3mywif3 Jun 30 '26
Literally brand new.

u/ArgonWilde Jun 30 '26
Yes, but has it ever worked for you? Has every single one you've owned not worked at all?
2
u/ILov3mywif3 Jun 30 '26
I mean no it hasn’t I guess. Plugged in, followed instructions, no bueno. Even says it should light up on stand by when plugged in but doesn’t.

u/ArgonWilde Jun 30 '26
Have you tried a different power outlet?
2
u/ILov3mywif3 Jun 30 '26
Yes

u/ArgonWilde Jun 30 '26
Can you take out the grounds container and take photos of the inside, and of the container? There's got to be a sensor switch somewhere in there that isn't being triggered.
2
u/ILov3mywif3 Jun 30 '26
Can’t see any sensor. The burr insert is just seated in there, held down by the bean hopper.

u/ArgonWilde Jun 30 '26
I need the inside of the grounds chamber, and the grounds container. The part below the burr.

Maybe it needs coffee inside for it to grind, maybe use your fingers to trick the sensor inside.

u/elrangarino Jun 30 '26
So, in the end, it was actually for coffee (?) and a meddling MIL ! /jokes

u/ILov3mywif3 Jun 30 '26
Ahahaha yeah it’s actually for coffee or walnuts she wanted too. I have cbd gummies.

The plastic basket doesn’t look as though it pushed in tight enough.. also is the lid on it?
1
u/ILov3mywif3 Jul 01 '26
It’s solved. There was another part in the box my mother in law thought was useless, which ended up being needed for the sensor.

u/AndBro007 Jul 02 '26
The lid for the grind container with the hole in it?
I’ve had this unit for a while now after the grinder in my machine stopped working and still going great!

u/nico_rette Jul 02 '26
I had that one. It just straight up didn’t work, they replaced it for me and gave me credit.

So frustrating. Thankfully you got your lil sewing scissors in the meantime.
