Imitations and non-Mahlkönig Burrs
Be aware of imitations and non-Mahlkönig burrs
- The crucial perfect match between the motor and the burr set is not ensured when replacing your burrs with imitation or non-Mahlkönig burrs. The burr replacement with unoriginal burrs impacts performance, lifetime, liability and safety as well as warranty.
How is the performance of my grinder ensured when replacing burrs?
- Crucial to each grinder’s meticulous functioning is a perfect match between the motor and the burr set. They must be flawlessly matched to ensure that the grinder delivers a reliable and consistent grind long term.
- Mahlkönig has been developing and manufacturing professional use high-quality grinders for almost 100 years. To live up to our century-long promise of exceptional quality, our research and development team invest significant resources to ensure the optimal tuning of both motor and grinder for each new model.
- The performance of Mahlkönig grinders is therefore only ensured when replacing burrs with original Mahlkönig burrs.
How are imitations or non-Mahlkönig burrs impacting my grinders lifetime?
- Hemro and our family of brands combine industry leading burr knowledge in-house. Imitated burrs lack field data to assess burr lifetime and related wear. You risk buying a burr that might perform initially but will not deliver the results in a repeatable way over its lifetime.
Can imitations or non-Mahlkönig burrs impact liability & safety?
- Our products undergo regulatory compliance checks and certification. This means that all burrs in our portfolio are, 1) food compliant, and 2) designed to ensure safe operation of the entire grinder.
- Imitations will lack food-product approvals and when installed may cause the grinder to malfunction. This means you could potentially buy burrs that look good, but that are in fact harmful to your health and others.
Does the burr replacement with imitation or non-Mahlkönig burrs impact your grinders warranty?
- If you replace the original Mahlkönig burrs in your grinder with non-Mahlkönig burrs, it can result in motor failure. Warranty for your grinder is no longer provided when replacing original Mahlkönig burrs with imitations or non-Mahlkönig burrs.

X54 Allround Home Troubleshooting
How do I adjust the X54 Allround Home Grinder fine enough or coarse enough to my liking?
- The X54 Allround Home Grinder is calibrated in our factory to enable a grinding range from espresso to filter. Calibration is a simple process that can be performed on the X54 Allround Home Grinder to reach your desired grind size, watch our service video here.
- Even at the finest setting, the burrs will not be able to grind to a very fine, flour-like coffee powder needed for Turkish preparation. Turkish fine grinding requires demanding conditions of the burrs, burr casings and motor made from high-precision and stable materials.
- Changing the grind adjustment from fine to coarse is possible when the grinder is not running. However, readjusting from coarse to fine is not possible when beans are blocking the grinding mechanism. Using force to change the grind setting to fine could damage the adjustment levers or – even worse – the burr casing, therefore we always recommend starting the grinder first when adjusting from coarse to fine.
Why do I have spraying on the X54 Allround Home Grinder?
- A certain degree of spraying is to be expected and unavoidable when grinding for filter coffee. This is not specific to the X54 Allround Home Grinder and can be mitigated by lightly misting the coffee beans with water before grinding.
- If you are still experiencing spraying, you can watch our service video here on how to access the flapper to clean it.
Is something blocking the outlet spout on my X54 Allround Home Grinder?
- The spout area of your X54 Allround Home Grinder will need regular cleaning. Watch our service video here on how to clean the grinding mechanism. If there is a blockage in the spout, it would be visible when looking "inside out" from the grinding house.
How do I adjust the portafilter holder on the X54 Allround Home Grinder?
- Remove the portafilter insert from the grinder using the push button on the right side.
- Turn over the portafilter insert, locate the single screw at the bottom of the insert and loosen it with a standard screw driver.
- Once the bottom piece of the insert is loose, adjust its height until the portafilter of the espresso machine you are using fits tightly into the portafilter insert.
- Tighten the single screw to secure the new placement of the holder and put the portafilter insert back into the X54 Allround Home Grinder, pushing in all the way to make sure it is fully attached.
- The portafilter should now fit tightly into the holder and allow for “hands free” grinding.
