Gaggia Titanium integrated grinder not spinning, not grinding.

Suddenly, the coffee grinder does not spin and grind coffee when any of the three coffee buttons are pressed.  We are not pressing the 'preground' coffee button either.  Now instead of the usual glorious espresso that fixes my caffeine craving every morning, I'm getting water.  I tried resetting to factory settings, turning off the machine, cleaning the brew group, rinsing, decalcifying... nada.  Is this thing fried, or am I missing something?

Your grinding chamber is blocked, the same happened to me, did it struggle to grind before? try taking the black shoot out the top with the 2 screws( were you would put pre ground coffee in) take the brew unit out(along with the waste water and bean tray), and reach up to where there is a little spring, the spring controls a little door, if you open the door manually and clean out the shoot to the grinder( make sure the machine is unplugged for this), i used the end of a tea spoon and a little hoover. it should work after this

The coarse grounds is definitely the problem. make sure your machines setting are near 5-8 depending on the beans you use.

You need to make 5 cups of coffee before you see the new grind size. Do not change the grind too often or you will not see what you are looking for.

If the coffee is still too coarse you may need to replace the grinder burrs. http://www.cerinicoffee.com/grinder-burrs-saeco-gaggia-asp.html

or you should take it to a service center.

Hi, The machine is trying to grind beans then states that there are no beans, yet the bean holder is full. We have dismantled the holder and cleaned out the grinder block, it worked once or twice then...

IT could be that the grind is too fine and the grinder is being clogged with coffee, first try adjusting to a coarser grind at least 2 to 3 numbers, if coffee flows into the brew unit you are good to go if not, then grind chamber needs to be vac out and cleaned then adjust grind and start over.

Ground coffee will not dispense

The beans are hanging up in the hopper and not falling down into the grinder...... wiggle it, give the beans a push, or go to a bean that is not so sticky....

New grind and display shows "grinder blocked"

This normally indicates due to the grinder being set too fine or oily beans being used.
Try setting the grind on 7 .
If it still fails the grinder will need to be unblocked and serviced.
