[Closed] NOOOOO! My burr grinder has eaten a stone

What bag of beans was that in!!

Never had this problem with tea bags...

Ooh. Spare parts? Can you get new plates?

Did the cause of this incident involve small children?

Ouch. I've had a few stray stones. What grinder?
On my Mahlkonig, it strips the belt and/or pulley, so up and running again in minutes if I've remembered to order spares. The Rossi just makes a horrendous racket and grinds the stone, it's seemingly unstoppable.

The growing influence of gravel?

I did that when I wanted an excuse to upgrade too. 🙂

Happy Donkey sell replacement blades. And I like their Brazilian Blend.

I have done that to mine too but no problem whatsoever because the grinder just stop grinding. It seems to know the stone was too hard to grind.

Mine is Eureka Mignon Mk 2 Instantaneo Grinder Auto/Manual.

Once I took the stone out I went on my merry way grinding coffee again. 😛

I had a piece of wire brush in mine but no damage to the burrs.
If it's a decent grinder you will be able to get spares.
(They are not blades but burrs)

Not surprised to find a stone in coffee. Afterall, it was probably "ground" earlier in the day

EDIT... i'll get my coat

true .... but still!!

I feel your pain OP. Make sure you get it sorted before Christmas. My the force be with you!

I don't think this bashful lass who roasted then ground me a coffee in Addis Ababa, the world capital of coffee, would have worried about the odd stone in her mortar and pestle!

Oh no! Disaster strikes!

Maybe a fellow stwer could come and collect you in his hybrid BMW and take you to the shops to buy a new one. I'd give it a while though, there may be a delay as he doesn't have Pro Nav so may run out of fuel before he gets to your house

The real reason for 'fully traceable beans' comes to light.

50 lashes should teach the ****er

Well that's how the grinder felt.

Bamboo... You raised a smile..

Hope it's not irretrievably Starbucked

Did it feel like this?

On the nasty pre-ground coffee now 🙁

I have tried and tried to pull the stone out to no avail (using a pair of needle pliers) and I am reluctant to pull too hard for fear of breaking something else. Any ideas?

You will have to disassemble it as pulling will make it worse. Really easy on the Dualit grinder.

I would have thought its just jammed the mechanism, so surely turning the grinding bits in the opposite direction should un-jam it?
