Such a great tutorial. I have a K-Plus and it was largely the same process. The only exception being one additional cleaning step for the K-Plus with the receiver having a removable base component which doesn't appear to be on the K-Max. Additional tip - be careful not too overtighten the thumb nut prior to calibrating...I tightened until refusal initially. It was tricky to then untighten the thumb nut as needed for calibration due to the tension bearing functioning in holding the nut extremely tight without a means of releasing that tension due to the excessive overtightening 😅 Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this tutorial. Great work.
Thank you very much for this super great video. I would like to buy this grinder and now I know how to calibrate and clean it. Many greetings from Hamburg/Germany 😀
Thanks for this video! Was having some trouble figuring out how to work the K-Max assembly and calibration and your video is super clear 👍🏻 Have you tried putting in hot water first before putting in the ground beans? The extraction is much faster :)
Glad you found it helpful? Putting hot water first as in pre-wet the filter paper or you mean something else, I'm curious to know please elaborate more :)
@@NlesCtrl My bad, I forgot you are brewing via traditional pour-over. As I brew via the Clever Dripper so I pass through hot water 1 time and drain it out to pre-heat. Then I add water in for a second time before adding the ground beans on top, for a quicker drawdown when I release the opening mechanism. Wouldn't apply to you however!
2:11 I thought I got a faulty unit bcos of the ring thingy on top of the burr being "broken", turns out yours is the same, no idea why 1zpresso has that.
Здравствуйте, у меня возникает проблема на k-max, после калибровки до отметки 0, примерно через 2-4 недели у меня смешается 0 в сторону 8. И как бы я не калибровал, всегда 0 через какое-то время смещается. Такой проблемы с jk-pro не было.
According to the official 1Zpresso documentation, this is NOT how you're supposed to calibrate your grinder. In fact, doing it this way can damage the burrs. The zero is NOT defined as the point where the adjustment dial can no longer be turned any further. Instead, the zero is defined as the point when the grinder handle starts to spin with resistance.
Yes, both the adjustment dial ring and lower burr ring can be removed in the K-series, and this in fact enables a much more complete clean. You need to turn both adjustment dial ring and lower burr ring clockwise to remove. In the case of the adjustment dial ring, this means setting it to its very coarsest setting and then just keeping going with turning until it comes off. If you're anything like me, you'll be worried this additional turning (and for me it was a bit stiff) might snap or break something in the adjustment dial ring, but don't worry: The adjustment dial ring is designed to be removed. Just make sure that when re-attaching both rings (by turning counterclockwise this time) they're securely/firmly in place. There were in fact a lot of grinds on a part of the lower burr ring that you simply wouldn't reach if you don't first remove it. Note to J-Max users viewing this: In its online 'Clean Tutorial for 1Zpresso External Adjustment Grinder' 1Zpresso points out that whilst the adjustment dial ring can be removed in the K-series, removing it on the J-Max is "not suggested". Still a very useful/helpful guide video. Thank you.
Thank you for the close up shots. This helped me clean and calibrate my J Max.
Glad it helps!
Thank you for this. It was really clear and easy to follow. K max now clean and calibrated with no issues!

Great demonstration of the calibration process. Very easy to follow now.
Thanks a lot! I couldn't figure out the textual instructions from 1Zpresso, but this video made it easy to follow! :)
Thanks for commenting, glad it helps!
Excellent video, helped me truly understand how to calibrate my newly acquired K-Plus :)
Congrats on your new grinder, enjoy!
works excellent for my new K-Ultra as well! Cheers 🙏🙏♥♥
Thanks, hope you have a great day!
Just had my first cup with the K-max, amazing what a difference it makes compared to my skerton grinder!
Thank you for the great video, very clear! 👍
Thanks for the comment! Enjoy the grinder and your cup of coffee ☕️

Hi, glad you found the video useful. Hope to visit Germany in the future.
great video! I overtightened the thumbnut during assembly and it's stuck. how do i loosen it?
Great explanation on reassembling and calibrating. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks dude, really helped me out in learning to re-assemble this grinder
Good to hear! Thanks for the comment have a nice day.
Thank you for showing me that a goose neck kettle is not necessary for pour overs 😁
Super helpful video, I have a K-max on the way.
Thanks, enjoy your new grinder!
@@NlesCtrl looking forward to it arriving. I'm upgrading from a Hario Slim.
Excellent tutorial!
What a great video! Thank you so much.
Glad you like it, thanks!
Thanks for this video. Appreciate it!
You're welcome, thanks 😊
Very helpful, thank you :)
You guys really should make calibrating the device easier.
Lets hope 1zpresso came out with something Innovative
You can count how many clicks it is off zero and after that you can set just as many clicks on the inner adjustment ring. Makes it a lot easier.
Cool thanks for the tips. Gonna try it this week
Nice video. Do you ever use it to make the odd espresso ? Taste ?
For calibration, I just put it on zero and the bolt at max, it seems to work good on mine.
Thanks for the tip, let me try it.
Mine is White Dot. Is it Fake ? K-Ultra
Not sure bout K-Ultra

Well I'm no engineer, can't answer on that too. As long as it do what it does, I'm good.
How often should you clean?
About once every month
How often do you clean it? After how many uses
I didn't really count, but usually once every 2 months.
awesome video bro.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻What is the grind setting number for espresso. Im using flair pro 2 manual espresso machine.
Thanks bro 😃 I wish I could give you advise on that unfortunately I only use it on filtered coffee. Hope to own a flair one day, flair 58 🤤
@@NlesCtrl what grind setting do u use for ur pour over, is that 7?
@mopikozz Hi, most of the time I will use 7 on my K-Max.
@@NlesCtrl thanks will try it out just got my k-max real solid price of equip!
@mopikozz nice, hope you enjoy your grinder!

Попробуйте надавить с низу и сильней затянуть гайку на нуле

Really!? I followed the instruction on their website. I shall go take a look again.
Is there anyone who can remove the adjusment dial ring ?
I'm not sure, but I think that you could have removed the inner burr also. It would be easier to clean. Very helpful video! Thank you!
Yea you can, but I didn't in this video. Thanks for the tips.
