A coke bottle jack with some interesting mammoth covers. I will return to drinking my coffee. Still going with the holiday blend because it’s full of holiday spirit. Tastes like coffee.

Very unique, but looks like some sort of insect ready to bite!Hi

Time for a Baratza Encore refurb...
I can't remember exactly when I bought it but has to be 7 or 8 years at least, and the expected life of the burr is 10 years grinding 1 pound/week...lol, amateurs.
I go through much more.
It was getting slow and straining to grind some roasts so it was time, and the burr was showing considerable wear.
Figured since I was taking it apart anyway I'd replace all the wearable parts.
Pricing wasn't too bad, like $60 shipped for all.
I did consider picking up an upgrade to the Encore but where's the fun in that.
Straightforward instructions made for a fairly simple operation, the biggest issue was cleaning everything, what a mess.
Anyway here are a few pictures and the cup I made after the test run, works great!
Grind is faster and definitely back to the uniformity when the grinder was new.
