Customers praised this rebuild kit for bringing 'new life' to aging grinders. The kit includes essential components like shims and gears, with detailed installation videos making repairs straightforward. Shoppers appreciated the ability to repair rather than replace, though some noted the process can be 'fiddly' and wished individual parts were sold separately.

A good rebuild kit

A good rebuild kit. Nice that it includes the shims. Just be careful to make note that you add in the same number of spacers as were there before

New life

My 10 year old Preciso plastic gear finally gave up the ghost. And decided to rebuild with new control board, burrs and all from Eight ounce. Everything fit and work, instructions from Baratza are very detailed and easy to follow. Feel good to fix up instead of more garbage, of which, Eightounce outfit should use envelopes to ship small parts instead of giant carton boxes to pack. All in all good reasonable pricing and prompt shipping.

Upgrade parts fit like a glove and work like a charm. Brought life back to a very good grinder.

worked great. baratza has amazing instructions for this upgrade on youtube and they'll send you a step by step pdf if you contact them.

it's a bit fiddly to keep all the parts organized but it's great to be able to repair the grinder myself!!

Great Kit

This Kit did the trick. Thanks to the Baratza Youtube video the installation went well. The bonus is that with this kit we were able to upgrade the Preciso by making it even better suited to espresso grind. All around, the service at Eight Ounce Coffee, the delivery and the kit made it a positive experience.

New life to old machine

Simple upgrade

Quite simple to install using Baratza’s instruction videos. I had to replace the motor on my Preciso because the worm gear on it had worn spots. It may be something others doing an upgrade may want to examine. One draw back there was that while the motor was easy to install, it lacked wires so those from the old motor had to be salvaged and fitted with new L shaped female ends. Some swearing and crying when I lost the tiny clicker and broke the indexing ring. Eight Once shipped then out very quickly.

Gave new life to an old machine and prevented a covid meltdown

My aging Virtuoso grinder has performed like a champ for many years. Then a stone in some coffee resulted in stripping the gears. Pandemic-related job cuts prevented me from buying the new Baratza grinder I’ve been wanting (Sette 30). Luckily, this inexpensive kit brought my old beast back to life and it’s working like a charm. Big thanks for the very detailed installation videos. When the job situation turns around, I can promise I’ll be ordering that new grinder from Eight Ounce!

New lease on life

It's great that Baratza sells spare parts for their grinders and has instructional videos on how to the repairs on YouTube. These days so many things are designed to be disposable, so I really appreciate the effort Baratza makes here. This kit was able to get my 10-year-old (!) Virtuoso going again after some teeth had worn off the main drive gear. I found the replacement process a bit complicated, but the good YouTube instructions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c61-_iGGdI) make it pretty straightforward as long as you pay attention.

Just what I needed

I experienced an unwelcome drivetrain failure on my Preciso one morning, and this rebuild kit got me back up and grinding again. Not a difficult repair. Everything fit perfectly and I'm happy to have my grinder back in service.

Wish gear was sold separately

My grinder already had the 2.0 gearbox and some teeth stripped on the main gear. I had to buy the whole rebuild kit for one piece. It would be nice if the gear was carried as a separate part.
I was glad I could get my grinder running the same day however. So happy to have a local source for Baratza parts!

Parts arrived relatively promptly, no problems. Also, about the same cost as ordering from the US . I’m happy!

Received items ordered promptly. Well packaged. Very good service.
Will definitely order from eight ounce supply again when in need of parts.
Thanks to your team.
