I followed the link for the kit. It says that fine grind will be SEVERELY effected negatively by the modification. I don't understand why? If it is now stable then ALL grinds should be more consistent fine to course. Unless your kit is not dead center. Can you explain?
Why would manufacturers skimp out on this stabilizing mechanism? I'm having trouble finding one I can buy that doesn't wobble when on a coarse grind since I don't have the know-how to make the improvements myself.
I can't believe this video doesn't have more views. People would rather spend a fortune on an electric than do a little research. I think you may have created the perfect budget grinder.
I wonder why the Hario Skerton grinder isn't built like that. Anything more than 1.5-2 turns from the finest settings and the particle sizes aren't even enough.
We use the OE-PFP for drip, french press daily & prefer it to the CM-45 for those methods, we use both OE-PFP & the CM-45 for espresso, depending on which is closest at hand.
The OE-PFP is adjustable through the whole range, fine to coarse, but the modifications we make to it have a greater effect on the coarser ranges (the inner burr will naturally wobble less as it is tightened into the outer burr, even without the lower bearing we install)
The OE PFP has the lower bearing mod, whereas the CM-45 has the spring, so they both seem to help on the coarser grounds. So which would you recommend for drip, aeropress, and french press, the OE PFP or the Kyocera CM-45?

Can this also be adjusted for a finer drip grind? Or is it only set up for a coarse grind?
