1.4.2 Service life

The service life of the ceramic grinding disks is
approximately 3x longer than steel grinding disks. The
service life depends on the type of coffee beans* and
is approx. 3,000 kg of coffee beans. With an average
measure of 7.5 g/sec. that makes approx. 400,000
shots.
When you reach these grind quantities, we advise
you to replace the complete grinder. Not only do
the grinding disks need replacing, but the bearings,
carbon brushes and drive belt have also reached their
maximum service life. In case of a damaged grinding
disk (due to stones or other foreign objects) they can be
ordered and replaced as a separate set.
* light to dark roast, dry or oily, caramelized
