Re: [MBZ] OT - Motor Rotation
Ordering OE burrs is probably the best bet; many of the aftermarket ones have fit and/or durability issues... (This is presuming a commercial grinder...) You might also want to check the bearings in the motor; I replaced burrs years ago, and didn't look at the bearings; I ended up having to tear it down again to replace those. (The grinder was really loud, even when not grinding) Also, if your grinder is a Rossi, you might want to stock up on parts; they will only get more scarce. -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On May 24, 2013, at 21:37, Mountain Man maontin@gmail.com wrote: I plan to order espresso grinder burrs.

My morning drink is a 16 ounce tumbler of what I refer to as crappacino. It consists of a weekly assemblage of four cups of freshly brewed espresso, 1 cup of sugar, a shot of vanilla, all mixed into 10 cups of skim milk. This goes into a plastic pitcher in the fridge which I take my morning beverage from. Hardly the drink for a purist but it definitely gets me going, and I like a large glass of milk in the morning, too. Dan On May 25, 2013, at 12:18 PM, Mountain Man wrote: Thank you for the advice.

Re: [MBZ] Home Made Topsider
Engine oil dipstick tube goes to lowest point in the pan; use entire inner diameter of dipstick tube to extract/carry oil; attach oil evac tube to TOP of dipstick tube. 5/8 O. D. plastic tube with fabric in walls to help it resist collapsing due to heat and vacuum works very nicely for me; fits nicely inside the fat area at TOP of dipstick tube. (If the fit at top of dipstick tube seems a bit loose, wrap a piece of tape around the plastic tube for tighter fit.)

Re: [MBZ] OT - Motor Rotation
I presume you know of orphanespresso.com (mainly lever machine parts), as well as cafeparts.com (more commercial stuff) and espressoparts.com, since you read home-barista.com :) I've got an old Rancilio Audrey (predecessor of Sylvia) and a Cunill Tauro grinder. I've got an Astoria Lady SAE/1 (110v) on the bench for a rebuild...

Thank you for the advice. Vintage (1980's?) Quick Mill 025B is not commercial, but it has decent cutting burrs, I think.

It's not entirely clear but from what I gather the air intake for the engine is right down the bottom? If it is that is a disaster waiting to happen. is it not?
