Pin Options and Suggestions
- 0.35mm: Versatile pins that are rigid enough to efficiently break up dense clumps without pushing grounds around. Ideal for lower-end grinders prone to creating numerous dense clumps.
- 0.25mm: The thinnest pins available, perfect for delicately breaking up small clumps and fluffing grounds. Ideal for higher-end grinders with large, flat burrs.
- 0.35mm and 0.25mm: Can't decide? Try them both! Includes both diameters with dedicated pin inserts for each size.
- Pin Quantity: The tool can hold up to 9 pins. We highly recommend ordering extras, especially the 0.25mm pins. If you want even more, you can purchase additional spares here.
