My 7 year old Jura Z5 has a grinder issue. The dial is on the finest setting, but the coffee is coming out weak. Looking at the puck they are very wet and coarse - the grounds are large grit-like in size which is definitely not right. Is there a way to reset the burrs so they are closer together as they used to be fine.
I took the grinder apart and found to have to replace the two metal grinding tools (inside cone and outside ring.
The parts for it were quite cheap. Just get yourself a proper instruction how to do it and follow it religiously. There are marks left by Jura engineers to calibrate the grinder assembly. Changing the actual grinder bits inside does not alter these if put together in the same position. The calibration is essential for a decent taste. After 7 years I would recommend a full service anyway. This will not be cheap, but all seals get replaced or just the brewing unit and the machine will be physically cleaned inside. Only a clean machine will give a decent taste. And the usual cleaning and de-scaling you can do is not enough to maintain a squeaky clean machine over the period of a few 1000 cups of coffee.

Hi jwm77uk,
Please try to use the following steps to produce a coffee that is stronger.
1. Use the right coffee.
2. The right temperature. Make sure that the coffee is as hot as it can be. Preheat the cups and the machine (preheat the machine by running some hot water through the lines and making a small shot and then dumping it).
3. The right strength setting. Make sure that you use the strongest aroma/strength setting your machine has to offer.
4. The right grind. Make sure that you use a finer grind for greater oil extraction.
5. The right amount of coffee. Try using more coffee.
6) The right amount of water. Try using less water.
7) Clean the machine. Coffee oils build up in the unit and can degrade the coffee quality over time. In addition, be sure you are descaling your unit regularly. Even excellent quality water, if it stays in the lines for some time, can cause sediment build-up in the lines. Try using the Jura cleaning tablets.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.
