1Zpresso X-Ultra Replacement Parts: Full List, Prices, and How to Install Them

My X-Ultra’s catch cup started tipping mid-pour a few weeks back. Nothing else on the grinder had changed — just one part, suddenly not gripping the counter the way it used to. For a second I assumed the whole grinder was on its way out. It wasn’t.

That’s usually what sends someone searching for 1Zpresso X-Ultra replacement parts — not a dead grinder, just one worn piece. 1Zpresso sells 11 individual spare parts for the X-Ultra through its official store, priced $5 to $30 each, and the burr itself isn’t one of them. This guide covers the full parts list and prices, how to match a symptom to the right part, tool-free installation steps, and where U.S. buyers can actually order from.

What Actually Wears Out on the X-Ultra (and What’s Covered by Warranty)

Most X-Ultra issues trace back to four parts: the catch cup, the adjustment dial ring, the knurled thumb nut, and the bearings. The burr itself is rarely the culprit, and 1Zpresso doesn’t sell it as a standalone part.

1Zpresso covers the X-Ultra for one year against manufacturing defects — a genuine flaw in materials or assembly. Rust, general wear, and anything that gradually loosens with regular use sit outside that coverage. So once a catch cup starts tipping or a dial starts slipping after months of daily grinding, that’s ordinary wear rather than a warranty case, and a spare part is the faster path forward anyway.

1Zpresso puts a rough lifespan on the burr itself: 100 to 200 kg of beans before it’s genuinely done. Two daily cups’ worth of grinding stretches that out to somewhere in the seven-to-thirteen-year range for most households — long enough that most owners never actually reach it. If you do, it’s a support conversation rather than a parts order, since 1Zpresso doesn’t yet sell the burr as a standalone spare.

Price context helps with the buy-new-versus-repair decision. 1Zpresso currently has the X-Ultra marked down to $159 from its usual $169. Stack that against a $5 to $30 spare part, and ordering the part wins almost every time — a full replacement grinder only starts making sense once you’re pricing out several worn components at once. If you’re still deciding whether the X-Ultra is worth owning long-term in the first place, our 1Zpresso X-Ultra review covers that side of things.

Official X-Ultra Spare Parts List & Prices

1Zpresso sells 11 individual X-Ultra parts direct through its online store. Prices run $5 to $30 each, covering everything from the wooden crank ball to the upper bearing. Here’s the full list of 1Zpresso X-Ultra replacement parts and what each one typically fixes.

Part	Typical Symptom It Fixes
Wooden ball	Crank handle knob cracked or loose
Foldable handle	Handle won’t fold or unfold smoothly, or has snapped
PC lid	Hopper lid cracked or missing
Magnetic catch cup	Cup won’t seat, tips, or won’t hold via the magnet
Knurled thumb nut	Won’t hold burr tension, threads stripped
Spring	Burr feels loose, or grind comes out inconsistent
Lower bearing cap	Shaft wobble from below
Adjustment dial ring	Numbers worn off, dial slips, or won’t hold a setting
Rubber band	Anti-slip band lost or perished
Positioning beads	Dial doesn’t click into a detent properly
Upper bearing	Shaft wobble, gritty rotation feel

One quirk trips people up at checkout: 1Zpresso asks buyers to email support at info@1zpresso.com before placing a spare-parts order. Skip that step, and the order sits on hold instead of shipping.

Shipping is slower than most people expect. Parts ship from Taiwan, dispatched within 14 working days, then take another 3 to 8 days in transit. A broken catch cup this weekend isn’t a next-day fix — plan for something closer to two to three weeks door to door, longer around Lunar New Year.

Match the Symptom to the Right Part Before You Order

Four symptoms cover almost every X-Ultra complaint: a stuck handle, a loose catch cup, gritty grinds, or shaft wobble. Each one usually points to a single part, not a full teardown.

Symptom	Likely Cause	Try This First
Handle jams mid-grind	Adjustment dial over-tightened	Back the dial off toward coarse before ordering anything
Catch cup won’t seat or tips	Magnet alignment, coffee dust on the ring	Wipe the magnet ring clean first
Gritty or inconsistent grind	Oil and dust buildup, not usually a part	Full brush-and-blower teardown
Dial won’t hold a setting	Worn positioning beads or dial ring	Check for worn numbers versus a loose click feel
Shaft feels wobbly while cranking	Upper or lower bearing	Check both, since wear on one side often shows up on the other

A lot of “broken part” searches get solved by cleaning instead. Run through a full teardown clean first — it fixes more of these than people expect. Our how to clean 1Zpresso X-Ultra guide walks through the whole process.

One detail worth knowing before you touch anything: the outer burr ring uses reverse threads, confirmed in 1Zpresso’s own X-Ultra manual. Turn it forward to loosen it, and backward — to the tightest point — to seat it again. The adjustment dial ring itself isn’t threaded on this model; it simply pulls straight out once tension is released. Mixing up that direction is the fastest way to jam a dial that was never actually broken.

How to Replace an X-Ultra Part (Tool-Free Process)

The X-Ultra comes apart without any tools. Swapping a catch cup, dial ring, or bearing is a short job once the replacement part is in hand.

1. Turn the adjustment dial ring clockwise by roughly two and a half rotations to release tension.
2. Press the inner burr, then turn the knurled thumb nut by one notch beside the dot marker to loosen it.
3. Lift off the upper bearing cap and upper bearing, then remove the burr, central shaft, spring, and lower bearing cap in order.
4. Swap in the worn part — catch cup, bearing, dial ring, or whatever’s failing.
5. Reassemble in reverse order, then re-zero the dial, since pulling the burr resets the zero point.

A recent swap, in practice: My catch cup had started tipping after months of daily pour-over grinding, and it no longer seated flush even after a wipe-down. A close look showed a visible film of coffee dust across the magnet ring — the actual culprit, according to 1Zpresso’s own troubleshooting notes on the X-Ultra. 

That kind of dust buildup is the most common reason a catch cup stops gripping, and normally it’s a five-second fix with no parts order needed at all — but mine had gone past that point. 

I ordered the magnetic catch cup spare part and swapped it using the twist-off, twist-on method rather than a straight pull, since 1Zpresso specifically recommends that approach. The new cup seated and held on the first try, and the whole job needed nothing but hands.

Installation time is the number that matters most here. Single-part swaps — catch cup, handle, rubber band — typically run under five minutes tool-free. Bearing or dial-ring jobs that need a full teardown run closer to ten or fifteen minutes for a first-timer, mostly because of the reassembly order.

Where to Buy X-Ultra Replacement Parts in the U.S.

1Zpresso’s official online store is the only source that carries the full 11-part list. Orders ship via DHL Global or Amazon’s fulfillment network for the US, EU, and Japan.

A couple of things trip up U.S. buyers specifically. First, 1Zpresso does not ship to P.O. boxes or parcel lockers — a real street address is required at checkout. Second, Amazon sells the complete X-Ultra grinder for around $159, but not the individual spare-parts kit, so searching Amazon for a single catch cup will come up empty.

A small number of EU-based retailers, including Crema and 4Barista, stock select original spares like the magnetic catch cup. That’s mainly useful for EU buyers wanting faster regional shipping. For most U.S. readers, the official store direct is still the simpler path — just remember to email info@1zpresso.com before checkout, or the order stalls on hold.

How to Make X-Ultra Parts Last Longer

Most X-Ultra part failures come from oil buildup and over-tightening, not normal aging. A simple maintenance routine keeps most 1Zpresso X-Ultra replacement parts from being needed in the first place, pushing replacement much further out.

Brush out the burr chamber after every session. Do a full teardown clean every one to two weeks with daily use, leaning toward weekly if you grind oilier dark roasts, since oil residue builds up faster and puts more strain on the dial and bearings.

Never rinse any part with water. 1Zpresso’s manual is explicit that water damages the metal components and voids that portion of the warranty. Stick to the included brush and air blower, or a dry cloth with a little alcohol if buildup is stubborn. And don’t over-tighten the adjustment dial ring — it’s the single most common cause of a “stuck” grinder that was never actually broken.

FAQ

Is the 1Zpresso X-Ultra burr replaceable? 

Not as a standalone part. 1Zpresso rates it for roughly 100 to 200 kg of beans, and once it wears out, replacement goes through their support process rather than a spare-parts order.

How much do 1Zpresso X-Ultra replacement parts cost? 

Individual parts run $5 to $30 through 1Zpresso’s official store, depending on which one you need — a rubber band sits at the low end, and the upper bearing runs closer to the top.

Does ordering a spare part void the X-Ultra’s warranty? 

No. Fixing normal wear with an official spare part doesn’t affect the one-year warranty on the rest of the grinder. That warranty only ever covered manufacturing defects, not wear and tear, so it wouldn’t have covered the worn part either way.

Can I use third-party parts instead of 1Zpresso’s originals? 

It’s not recommended for anything touching the burr chamber or the adjustment threads. Tolerances on the X-Ultra are tight enough that a mismatched part can introduce the same wobble or slip it’s meant to fix.

How long does shipping take to the U.S.? 

Orders dispatch within 14 working days from Taiwan, then take another 3 to 8 days in transit. Budget roughly two to three weeks total, longer around Lunar New Year.

Do I need special tools to replace X-Ultra parts? 

No. The X-Ultra is built for full tool-free disassembly, from the catch cup down to the bearings.
