I must agree with you. My new cap looks like it came from a welding class. Bumpy and wavy to the point that it gets stuck on the inductor head and spins while I’m rotating. Causing uneven heating. My old cap fell on the floor and all the plates fell out.
I still like their stuff though.
The titanium CXL bowl works great with the Injector. Since it works with the original cap I’m hoping that the Zirconium body works just as well.
I‘m waiting impatiently for both the new cap and Ceramo XL.
The stupid plastic ring falls off every time I open it. Tried it without, and it‘s rough. Too shallow in the grinding area also. I too contacted him through his website, and did get a response, but nothing since.
I put mine in the junk drawer. Don’t know why I bought this, should have stayed happy with my Old Mate. This one can’t compete. My next grinder purchase will be the larger version old mate.
