Hello everyone,
Welcome to the world of not terrible restorations, where I bring old and neglected treasures back to life.
In today's video, we're diving into the fascinating world of restoration with a keen focus on a single, iconic coffee grinder - the ESM "Die Krone K02" from 1957.
Get ready to witness the transformation of this German-made coffee grinder, taking you on a journey from rusty and broken to pristine and fully functional. From casting broken plastic parts with precision using casting resin to the finishing touch of powder coating, I'll show you how I breathe new life into this retro coffee grinder.
This video is a treat for all coffee lovers out there who appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into each restoration project. If you're a fan of ASMR restoration or a DIY enthusiast, you're in the right place.
So, whether you love coffee or just enjoy watching calm restorations, make sure to hit that subscribe button and ring the notification bell. Stay tuned for more exciting projects coming your way. Thanks for watching!
The beer review will be at the end of every project from now on. I've thought about this for a long time and as many comments I get from viewers who love the tasting, I get from viewers who don't like it. Personally, I am Dr. Beer and will always enjoy my cold beers. But I understand that people get distracted from the core of the restoration in the videos.
My understanding is that putting the review at the end is a good compromise for everyone. So if you don't want to watch it, just skip the end. If you love the review, you can look forward to the grand finale.
If you can't live with this compromise, just visit the millions of restoration channels out there :)

Einer meiner liebsten Channels. Beleuchtung, Macro und Schnitt sind auf höchstem Niveau. Kein Firlefanz, nur eine tolle Restauration. 👍Und der Biertest ist auch nicht schlecht. Vielen Dank für die viele Arbeit mit den Videos und das wir gut unterhalten werden. 😊

[@NTRprojects]

Vielen Dank, das freut mich wirklich sehr zu lesen

[@davidaldrich3488]

@@NTRprojectsyou are new to me. Very nice. This is on the order of My Mechanic in my opinion the benchmark of restoration. Will continue to watch going forward

[@pstaunton5555]

do you sell your projects? your restorations are among the best I've watched.

Who hasn't experienced coffee grinder grease drama?

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

You are the only one restorer that start the restoration with one item and finished with 2 same items 😅😅 sorry for the spoiler 😁 you have my respect for the whole hard working you put in this video 👌 hat off mate 🎩

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you my friend. I look forward to your video. But I will watch it in bed tonight, when I have the time to enjoy it to the fullest

That's just how good he is!

[@sundarAKintelart]

The manufacturer was very sincere and careful in making that machine. Your restoration matches that perfectly.

[@misterpatina]

Okay definitely your best one so far. So much work put in one easy to watch video…respect.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you my love. I'm free now for our next project together. Will call you later 😚

[@NowInAus]

You destroyed the haters with the surprise at the end. Amazing work, especially recutting the grinding gears. Well done

[@Voxel-Ux]

Not only are your restorations a joy to watch, but even the video editing is stylish and very creative. You are a true artist. Thank you for making these episodes and for restoring elements of our past.

[@zedcarr6128]

As an engineer myself, your skills are an absolute joy to watch. I doff my cap in your general direction, sir. 😊

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks a lot zed

[@KS-ts3le]

I love your choice of color. You do amazing work.❤

[@terencemiller2800]

What I like the most in your videos is that you don't modernize what you reapair but keep the vintage touch. Awesome work as usual! Also love the quote to The Emperor's New Groove at 22:11

[@jl3390]

Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

[@rtyrsson]

Absolutely beautiful work! I was particularly impressed with your work milling the grinding wheel. Such patience and precision! You always inform, teach, and entertain. Thank you.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you very much my friend

[@mako160962]

You have to marvel at the amount of precision engineering that went into something as simple as a coffee grinder back in the day. Your restoration is fascinating to watch with amazing results.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support and I'm glad you found the restoration fascinating.

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Extraordinary work. Your channel is very inspiring. The humorous title of your channel is self deprecation to the n’th degree. You must know that your work is up there with the very best. Congratulations.

[@cainkind]

I love watching restoration videos and your channel is one of my favorites because the effort you put into editing your videos and restoring the items. Both keeping some of what made it cool and old and often adding your own new spin! Also love seeing creators that are environmentally aware and often use recycled parts in their projects.

[@NTRprojects]

You mention everything that is dear to me. Thank you for the appreciation

[@MrSteve280]

I had another comment prepared but just read about your father's passing. Your words are a fine tribute and I am sure would make him proud. Clear across the ocean, both you and he have touched someone else. Mein allerherzlichstes Beileid und mein tiefstes Mitgefühl gelten Dir und Deiner Familie.

[@NTRprojects]

I saw that one too. This one is definitely nicer

[@NolaGal2601]

I was afraid there wouldn’t be a beer tasting. While I don’t drink beer myself, I enjoy your reviews and one of the features that makes your channel unique.

[@leisongivangomo4478]

I LOVE your choice of the green! Excellent restoration! 👏👏👏

[@byOldHand]

Dear friend, this is a magnificent work. I finished all my work, took a glass of beer and started watching your video. It was a big surprise to see the result (no spoiler 🙃), and it was an even bigger surprise that you made a beer review right after. I had a great half hour, thank you very much. Aufwiedersehen ✌🏻🍺

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

This must be your best video so far, and you even restored two of them 🥲 I really liked that you actually disassembled the motor and cleaned it properly and didn’t just pour isopropanol over it 😄 It was a joy to watch, thanks for sharing!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you my man. Hope you're doing well on your current project

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@NTRprojects kind of 😄

Immer richtig starke Videos. Kenntnisse auf so vielen Ebenen und gepaart mit dem Fertigungs Know-How - Chapeau!

[@buidelrat132]

I appreciate the work to put into the video production, from description, audio, chapters, closeups, to captions. The care you take with restoration shines through in the production. Great job, beautiful work, thank you.

[@steves9905]

just something that appeals to the soul when a device has heft and is rebuildable, and then is brought back to life. this grinder must have had an active life to wear the brushes down to the springs.

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting steve s

[@Chrissini]

This video sir, was just an awsome pleasure to watch. I watched it with coffee on my balcony in the morning and for 29 minutes, every bad thing was gone. It was just another brilliant Restoration, i bet you can cure depression, and if its just for 30 minutes. Well done and greetings from Germany, Bavaria. Keep going.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much for this

[@izzudinhakimi7665]

Thats the answer.. im always wandering where you go...since you not upload video.. this two really takes you long time 😅.. anyway really superb for this duo "RETROsration"👍🏼👍🏼

[@Rickster1100]

Another excellent execution to restore those old grinders. Those of us that know, realize the powder coating was the perfect touch! It will last a lifetime and has that perfect shine.

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting so nicely Rickster

[@jamesriordan3494]

One of your best yet ! The resin casting, peroxide treatment, powder coating all “not so bad” !!!

[@lavluvlov]

Great work on those machine; I prefer Belgium beer...

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you liked it. Cheers to Belgium beer! 🍻

[@PhaTs00p]

The particle size distribution on those custom burrs is gonna be *interesting*.

[@waynewei3380]

I also feel the original creamy color looks really good.

[@agistan7764]

I'm espresso snub and I love your work. Both colours of restored machines look very nice, I prefer the green personally. With grinding wheels - I get it - you went with the best possible option, and that was a major PITA.

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting Agi Stan. I had to Google PITA. now I know what it is and I agree 😁

[@R_Forde]

Thank you for keeping the beer review even if you moved it to the end. As you said you are Dr. Beer and it is a unique touch you do versus other restoration channels. Danke noch einmal

[@NTRprojects]

My pleasure!

[@jean-marcheu7428]

Excellent work ! and I love the little touch of beer at the end of the video. To drink in “Moderation”

I hope to see more, this is not terrible at all!

Well, I think the green was an excellent choice; very 1950s. 😄

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you my friend

[@rickoneill4343]

Well totally was not expecting that surprise at the end. Excellent work!

[@josimarjunior1419]

Just one tip, if a bearing is captive by the inner race u press or tap it by the inner race, and just the opposite when it is captive by the outer one. Anyway, great video Sir!

[@NTRprojects]

Yes you are completely right.

[@Unlovable]

I have an AEG coffee grinder that is a simular model to this one. The adjustmentknob is not doing any adjusting currently but I did not understand the mechanism behind it so I have not taken it apart to fix it. This video has helped me understand it better and I will try to fix it.

[@NTRprojects]

Wonderful. Thank you for letting me know 😊

[@stephenbrookes7268]

It is nice to have all the proper equipment for these jobs, coupled with the right skills. The finished product is way better than the factory produced!

[@neonity4294]

According to the plate, ESM stands for ironworks Milspe (Eisenwerk Milspe) which belonged to the mining company Schaffgotsch. I love it that they decided to design and made coffee grinders? Not something you expected from an plant which is more known for heavy iron and steel products. ^^

[@NTRprojects]

That's what I was actually wondering about. How did this develop. Would be so interesting to know.

[@user-eg7lc1xx5w]

Wow making that plastic bowl... bravo. Fantastic restoration.

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

If you put a guard behind your polishing wheel, you don't get a big stripe of waxy goo all up your wall. I used an old plastic central heating register duct adaptor: exactly the right shape.

[@NTRprojects]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@granfury1238]

What a nice restoration of even two machines! They came out very well 😄👍 About the beer test - I thought that people would complain about you drinking while working. I don't mind though 'cause I like have a beer from time to time 😀

[@atriangle8517]

he clearly drinks at the end of the work day once all the restoration is done, good honest worker we have right here

[@NTRprojects]

Yes but in fact that was misunderstood by many people as they thought I drink while working...

[@lisadocimo1027]

The way you made that cap mold?? Genius.

UV activated superglue is amazing. Hardens instantly when hit with the light. Would make the plastic repairs so much easier and stronger. I don’t know how many times regular superglue has failed me, but it feels like it cures when I don’t want it to and never cures I do.

[@churchse21]

Never thought I’d laugh out loud at a restoration video, but you made me do it twice in this one! The “unspecified grease” formerly known as “coffee machine grease” shout out was pure gold and then the “don’t worry, I made one in the original color” was a joy. I say it was well worth the time and effort that you put in for that. Well done. Bravo. Also, don’t mind the critical people, thanks for all the effort you put into making these videos and keep doing what you love doing.

In case you didn't know, the comment about the special coffee machine grease was (probably) a riff on a line in the children's movie "The Emperor's New Groove". Kronk : Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. That poison?
