Same! Always wanted to try one and even though I have a new grinder arriving in February, if this was the S version, I would have snapped it up too. -
Don't know. Run a thumb across the edges around the fine end and see if they still feel like there's an edge. You need to clean them up first and foremost. I'm not 100% sure but I think the Pharos uses the Rossi burr set which will set you back about £75 https://espresso-solutions.co.uk/rossi-conical-grinder-burr-set-68mm-rh/ so hopefully they'll still be good. They should be changed around every 750kg of coffee ground according to espressoparts.com "manufacturer recommendation" for 63mm conicals. They say you might want to change them at half that to maintain peak performance. It looks to have been built at the end of 2013 so assume 6 years of use. If you have a hand grinder you probably aren't having more than one or two cups a day. It's an espresso grinder really so say 36g a day for 6 years = 36 * 365 * 6 = 78840. So round up to 80kg. If you aim to replace the burrs at about the 400kg mark you've still got plenty of life left in them. I suppose burrs will degrade over time in the sense that everything falls apart eventually but really their lifespan is determined by use not time. -

Fantastic looking machine you have there, I only require a grinder and would be willing to pay £350 + postage for the Niche given it’s probably out of warranty or close to it, and assuming you have the original packaging and accessories. Understand you prefer to sell as a package so happy to wait a few days if an offer for both or the machine is made. Steve -

Haha the seller might be generously rounding down with that estimate. Do the burrs look alright as I was chatting with the owners of a coffee shop that I go to and I was under the impression burrs last - at least for home use - pretty much forever but I was told burrs will degrade over time and take longer to grind the worse they get. Will these need to replaced in the long run? -

Looks to be a lot of old oil and coffee there for "it's only had 10kg through it". Haha the seller might be generously rounding down with that estimate.

Hi. I only got my machine last Saturday and am very new like you, although had barrista training so had some limited knowledge. I posted on here and got some great advice but the most important advice was get fresh roasted coffee beans. My beans were too old and the supermarket beans didn't have a date. I had the same issue, no pressure and extraction too fast. I changed my beans and the difference is amazing. I am now grinding on number 4, pressure is at 1 o'clock and it takes 25 seconds to extract. I don't think I will ever like espresso coffee but as an Americano/latte it's good. As I say I'm no expert but you could look at my thread from last week for some helpful tips and links. Good luck. Adele -

Thanks bit hesitant to put any water near these burrs but I’ll give it a good cleaning with the brush to see if I can get rid of the old oils before resorting to water boarding it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
