Deep inside a used Mahlkönig EK43, a heavy-duty coffee grinder in need of repair. Watch while I tear it down and inspect and test every last bit. I'd say it's held up nicely for its age and should be easy to restore, which I will document in the next video.

This video covers the teardown, inspection, testing, fault diagnosis, and to-do list. There's also a follow-up where I repair what's broken, re-assemble it, lubricate it, and then measure, calibrate, and tweak. The complete restoration video is here: youtu.be/jQO-YFeA6eI
