    I am assuming they are just out of stock temporarily. I wanted one a while back and I just had to wait a little bit. If you email their support, they are super helpful.

    If you’ve never taken it apart, i would definitely do that before ordering stuff from baratza. There’s a good chance if you’ve been using it for a while that’s you have some broken bits of the paddles that clear grounds into the chute, and that’s easy to replace when you replace the burrs. Same thing with the upper burr carrier. It uses 3 points of contact to maintain a setting, and if one breaks, it’s not super obvious except in makes a less consistent grind. To get to that, you just need to pull off the hopper and upper carrier without any tools.

        They sell a “single dose” hopper that in my opinion isn’t worth it. It’s basically just giving you bellows, which you could just buy yourself and stick with your existing hopper. I’m curious what other mods there are, though, so let me know what you find.
