@TheBauermv Cool - but please let me know how it works out - Kat

OK - well I guess we really don't know the circumstances of why this happened........ possibly incorrect insertion after cleaning, who knows. Reading too many reviews can be stressful! LOL!! I'll give it a try and hope for the best.

@TheBauermv I haven't seen/heard of it doing that so don't really have any insight to share, sorry - Kat

And I thought I was done..........am having second thoughts about the Ascaso I-Mini grinder which is due to arrive tomorrow. I was initially OK with what I thought were the minor shortcomings of the grinder until I read that the hopper literally unscrews itself while grinding thus spilling beans. This is based on more than 1 review. If this is the case, then not worth the price and would defintely exchange. Thoughts?

@TheBauermv Totally agree! Actually, they have made some improvements ... the original UNOs sometimes gave an electric shock until they improved how the wires were ground ;) Please let me know if I can help at all once your setup arrives! - Kat

I think for my purposes, it'll do me just fine - don't make that much coffee and don't mind cleaning it out although the true test will be when I receive and use it. I hope Ascaso improves the quality of their machines as well as the quality control in their factories. Some of the best coffee I've ever had was in Spain! Go figure. Anyway, you've been so helpful. Thanks for everything!

@TheBauermv The majority of grinders retain about 30g of coffee in between the burrs and the exit, so this is not unique to the i-mini. Great to keep this in mind as when you're making grinder adjustments you'll need to pull off that much coffee before you see your change reflected ... otherwise you'll drive yourself insane ;) - Kat

It may be a keeper in that regard. Only other concern that comes to mind is that I've read that it retains a ton of coffee in the shoot. Is this not true of other grinders as well or is it more of a problem with the I-mini?
Will do Kat. I'll give it some time to become familiar and find the proper grind before I follow up with a review. Keep up the good work! Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos!
