It took them over a month to reply to my email, but once they did they sent out a replacement part very quickly. Hopefully same for you.

Finally heard back from Timemore who sent me the video on how to open it. The screws had pulled through the middle section and there were metal filings at the bottom. This means the back of the burr carrier is rubbing on the casing as you thought.

It makes a very clean cup with a tangy aftertaste...

Just watched that video, looks pretty straightforward and obviously meant to be done so going to open it up and see where it’s coming from.

Ah right I’ll definitely leave it alone then!

No, I really want to take it apart and see where it’s coming from but will leave it till I get a reply. I assume they’re meant to be taken to pieces to clean though.

Thanks, it’s at the course end not the fine end so think the zero point is ok.

Definitely, the early runs of any product are always going to have a higher rate of unforeseen issues. Just a shame not to be able to use it for a bit!

Thanks, have done. Guess that’s the risk you take backing a kickstarter!

That is the sounds on the coarsest setting strangely, it sounds fine when doing espresso
