Troubleshooting
Grinder is difficult to turn
Check that the bean hopper is not overfilled. Ensure the grind setting is not set too fine for the beans being ground. Clean the grinding mechanism for any blockages.
Inconsistent grind size
Ensure the ceramic burrs are clean and free from coffee oils or debris. Check that the grind setting mechanism is securely locked in place.
Cranks feels loose
Ensure the crank is properly attached and secured to the grinding spindle. If the issue persists, check for any wear on the crank or spindle connection.
Coffee grounds are stuck in the mechanism
Manually disassemble the grinder and use a dry brush or soft cloth to carefully remove all coffee grounds from the burrs and housing. Ensure the grinder is completely dry before reassembly.
