Calibrating the Mahlkonig E-80 Supreme

A quick video on resetting/calibrating the new E-80 Supreme

Appreciate you making this video. Just snagged one for my shop and was dreading trying to figure out how to get this sucker to grind finer. Hats off to you, sir.

Well that makes it all worth it! 😃

When you recalibrate the grinder like this does the distance displayed on screen also change for a given position or is the indicated measurement just relative?

[@silverskincoffee3767]

Hi Tucker, The distance won't change on screen. This isn't an adjustment that the machine will record its a recalibration.

[@tuckspoff]

@@silverskincoffee3767 I guess what I'm wondering is if the "Disc Distance Detection" can still be relied on once you've made this adjustment, or if there's a separate recalibration step you have to take in the software like the Mazzer ZM?

[@silverskincoffee3767]

@@tuckspoff no calibration required. It is still measuring the distance of the change made. The resetting or re-calibratin won't affect that.

Yes, I was wandering the same thing. After the celebration it is very off from the actual burs distance. DDD would show 0, when in reality the my actual dial is at 3. And if I move dial towards 0 (from 3 going finer) - DDD starts going from 10. So when I'm at the actual closest distance between burrs, DDD which show 7 or 8. Not sure what I'm missing.

You didn’t bring the dial to zero before taking the dial off, so you have no idea where the zero point actually sits once you put the dial collar back on.. is this bad?

[@silverskincoffee3767]

Indeed I did not I opened it completely which is howe the dial comes off. This does not and cannot reset where zero is! This just removes the plate, If you want to recalibrate the grinder you must run and use the adjustment wheel on the right hand side. Hope that helps
