How to reset the grinder burrs?

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.

Hi, I'm using the machine coffee Jura ENA Micro 90. when I start to make a cup of coffee, the grinder is working until the cup of coffee is done.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the grinder's programming or calibration. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the grind settings: Make sure the grind setting is not set too low, as this can cause the grinder to continue grinding even after the brewing process has started. You may need to adjust the grind setting to a coarser level.
  2. Clean the machine: If the grinder is clogged with old coffee grounds, it may continue to grind to compensate for the lack of coffee being produced. Clean the machine thoroughly, including the grinder, and try again.
  3. Reset the machine: Turn off the machine and unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on again. This can sometimes reset the machine and resolve any software or programming issues.
  4. Contact Jura customer service: If none of the above steps work, it may be necessary to contact Jura customer service for further assistance or to schedule a repair.
I hope this helps!

I took the grinder apart and realized that there is no mark as to where set the initial burr setting. It does not seem to be that you screw it down as far as it will go. the adjuster spring simply gets...

simply you screw until you hear metal sound of burrs touching each other. Than:

Grinding setting is one simple operation but requires bit patience:

  1. Turn on your grinder and continue setting to fine while burrs are spinning, you stop when you hear metal to metal touch sound(burrs maximally closed finest grinding)
  2. From that point go back quarter of revolution and mark the spot where you stopped with marker to body of grinder and setting plate with one line
  3. Grind little amount of coffee only to fill one sector of dosser than test it at your machine (if it leaks too fast and with yellow color of cream you should go to more fine>><< if it does not leak from the filter holder or it leaks very slow you go to in opposite way.
  4. You test grinding few times bit after each reset of plate grind little amount and take that in one other pot (that will provide to have pure new granulation)
After setting measure the grounded coffee that comes out from dosser it should be about 7 grams, better measurement you can get if you measure 10 doses in one place because you don't get never same amount from 6 sectors of dosser

My machine is grinding the coffee ok, but it is not tamping the grind into tight rounds. Consequently the coffee is weak and the discarded coffee which is deposited into the dregs draw is loose. I have had...

First, have you tried adjusting the grinder to the finest setting, if yes and you still have the same problem the grinder needs adjustment, either the burrs are dull or the grinder needs to be set.

Grind size too big even when it is set to finest

Have you used it for awhile already? You might want to try replacing the burrs ($20) if they've been used for a few years.

Grind

Love your 'handle'!

I'm thinking that there is something in the burr in the unit. Empty the unit and remove the burr. Usually, this is done with a counterclockwise turn. Note how hard it may be to turn...you'll have to reverse this when you put it together. Now, clean out any coffee debris you find. Then, turn the unit over and tap it on a firm surface covered with newspaper. Reassemble and return to service.
