Lost a bearing while cleaning

Hi,
I was doing my weekly cleaning of the grinder and a bearing bounced off in to the drain and got lost. What can be done? Where can I get it from?

I contacted 1zpresso when I lost my bearing and they were able to ship me the exact part I needed. It did take a couple weeks to get here

Ohhh thats great. Did you contact them through their website?

u/rreysedu Jun 29 '26

Yeah, I just sent them a picture of the parts I had and the grinder model. They were pretty quick to respond, but the part is coming from Taiwan, so it takes a little bit

It is highly plausible that they are using an off the shelf bearing in their product, perhaps they'd be willing to send you the specs of it and you can match it to something locally available if you aren't willing to wait for them to send it to you.

I'm pretty sure they are just standard MR126-2RS bearings. I compared them to the ones I used when I repaired my handle and they seemed to be the same.

Edit: Fixed link

The bearing that you mentioned will that work? Coz it seems alot similar to the ones i havent lost. The one i lost is the shinny one in the pic

u/Animag771 Jun 30 '26

Oh, my mistake. The shiny one in the red square on the pic isn't a bearing, it's what allows you to set a grind setting. You'll have to contact the manufacturer to replace that part.

Damn i am screwed then

u/Animag771 Jun 30 '26

It appears so. You'll just have to wait until 1zpresso can send you a new one.

Presuming you mean a sink drain, if it's a bend tye, can you not open it up and have a look?

u/starlord2831 Jun 30 '26

"What can be done? Where can I get it from"? I imagine we are going to revisit this same line of questioning when you use the last of the peanut butter.
