Coffee Art and More: November 2016

For several weeks my Mazzer Super Jolly Grinders timer would intermittently go out and prevent the grinder from turning on. No good for a coffee business. (Hey, if you don't know what you are doing don't make this modification. Ask for help from a professional. I have no electrical background but I own the equipment that I'm working on. If it didn't work I wouldn't write about it). ALSO, I've had to make this modification to all of my grinders...

This is not the first time the dial had to be replaced and if you are reading this you know that the cost of replacement is too high for more than once. $82 bucks is just too much.

Mazzer Espresso Grinder Timer

Headed to my local electric supply store to find out if there was a on/off switch that could be used instead. This cost me $10.02 with no shipping.

This part will do the job. (I don't get paid from the above companies, I'm just telling you where I got the parts from)

Remove the dial and plate from the grinder with flat head screwdriver.

Remove the bottom plate to access the timer.

Carefully pull the timer out.

Label the original sleeves - 1, 2, 3, 4

you will remove each quick connect sleeve
place each sleeve on the corresponding connections

All quick connect sleeves should be on the new toggle switch now.

Remove the bolt from the toggle switch.

I had to drill out the hole for the toggle switch. (there may be a switch with a smaller thread but this is not something that I thought about. I felt that this was an easy fix by widening the existing hole)

You will need a 7/16th drill bit or key hole drill bit.
