First of all, I'd like to say that if you treasure your product warranty, you can stop reading right about now. The very first modification you make will void the warranty. Still here? Good. So I bought my Delonghi KG89(KG79 is the exact same model without the brushed steel finish) about 6 months ago to replace my manual hand grinder because I started having fore-arm cramps(for a healthy young male to get fore-arm cramps is near impossible). I used it for 4 months and gave up, going back to another hand grinder. So you bought a KG89 too right? You must have read the reviews online, good for it's price, solidly built, cheap , looks good on the counter top blah blah, easy on your wallet, dusty grind, good for drip coffee. The warning klaxons should have sounded towards the last 2 points. But you bought it anyway, proving that you're an idiot, you didn't do your research, or you're cheap(like me). Ok, enough chatter, here's the guide to hack...
