SOURCE: Coffee beans will not grind

If the grinder is blocked try changing the grinder setting up to the coarsest setting (I think it is numbered 16 on this model) and then vacuum or fill with beans and push them through. Be sure that any damp coffee has gone as you don't want the grinder blades to be left wet.

Never freeze or refrigerate your coffee beans as the condensation from doing this can also block your grinder. Also never use coffees that have been flavoured during the roasting process as they are often too sticky or oily and will block your grinder. These coffees should be ground using a grinder that can be easily pulled apart for cleaning...which is not the case in the Saeco automatic machines.

After you have finished clearing your grinder you will want to turn it back down to a finer setting ( a setting of 6 or 7 works well on this model) however you should only turn the grinder setting finer while the machine is actaully grinding. Otherwise you may find the coffee beans jam between the blades.

If you are unable to clear the blockage it might need to go to a technician.

SOURCE: How do I remove the

This is not a hard procedure, but you have to feel comfortable with DIY projects.
First empty the bean container. Vacuum out any remaining beans. Remove the philips screws from the hopper. Lift the hopper off. Vacuum any loose beans out. Remove the rubber gasket. You may clean this with a mild soap solution. Remove the grind adjustment lever- lift straight up with index fingers under the flange. Turn the outer ring with the holes counterclockwise, lift the center ring with the ears straight up when the outer ring is loose enough. The ring with the ears is the upper burr. Clean with a brush. Don't use water or other solutions. Vacuum the beans chamber and brush clean. Replace the upper burr ring matching the ears with the grooves. Turn the outer ring clockwise until it stops. Pull the inner ring to be sure it is locked. Now turn the outer ring back 13 clicks. Replace the rubber gasket. Replace the grinder adjustment lever- drop the lever flange inside on the outer ring with the lever grip loop over the top at #4. Press the flange with two fingers while supporting the outer ring from below. This seems tricky, but be patient. Replace the hopper and screws. Do any grinder adjustments while grinder is running with beans, it may take a few shots to be back at your preference grind! Good luck!

The grinder is able to spin, but gets very hot and heats up the coffee it is grinding. It seems to be jammed, though turing the motor on will still cause it to spin. The adjustment ring is set on the...

Relax and be patient, problem is evident and it can be solved. you will need one key for releasing oil filters(borrow from your mechanic but it is good to be 3 legged one)

Detection of problems:

  1. You have old burrs and they chew coffee, they don't cut grind any more. Because of that coffee is overheating = burning(after that you have very bitter espresso)
  2. Upper holder of burrs is jammed and it needs to be released and removed for cleaning.

Repairing:

Repairing 2=

  • Remove hose and dozer cover, jam the blocking pin in open position (to not block the burr holder), take the oil filter key and input it in burr holder, start moving left and right slowly
  • When you see that you can move the burr holder than check again blocker pin and roll against fine grinding, to release the holder. do not go more than quarter of revolution, you can break the block pin with filter key leg.
  • Replace the key and continue releasing
  • When you once get it out you should clean very around grinders and all the place from coffee.
  • Remove the block pin and the spring below it
  • Screw the holder in place and be sure it goes inn easy
  • NOW IF YOU HAVE NEW BURRS YOU CAN REPLACE THEM
  • In case you don't have than measure the diameter to be sure what you are asking for.
  • Assemble back the grinder and test it with old ones once(might be you set it too fine and that is the reason for burning)

PS. do not hesitate to ask me for further instructions' such is burr changing.

My Rocky is just out of the box yesterday and it seems to have jammed up. It still grinds, but I can't turn the top, at all. It is stuck, so I can't adjust the courseness. I can't see any obvious problem...

  1. stabilize the body of grinder
  2. provide block spin to be in release position
  3. get one 3 legged key for releasing oil filters
  4. put filter legs at upper holder of burrs
  5. start to release carefuly
be gentle at first, go forward and backwards to measure how much strength is required

Burrs spin but no grinding

Try this, remove the bean hopper, and vac out the burr chamber, then put 1 tablespoon white rice in the burr chamber and cover with hand and turn grinder on, if the rice grinds, then your grind might have been set too fine. Turn the grinder towards fine until you can barely turn the burr nut, you will feel them touching, then turn course about 16 notches (do not use numbers, use the small notches around the rim), that should give you a great starting point for your grind.

Cleaned the Solis Maestro grinder and re set it to a fine espresso setting but the grind is coming out very course. What should i do?

Hi Your burr is not locked in. You need to remove the beans from the hopper. Remove the hopper. Remove the burr. Turn the grinder upside down over the trash can. Put the burr back in only make sure that the burr is down. Install the bean hopper and when you turn the bean hopper it should move the burr. Then you can adjust your grind. Make sure that the grinder is running is your going to a finer grind or you could break the grinder. You can turn it to a coarse grind any time.

Oily beans seem to have clogged our coffee grinder up. What can we do?

Rotate the bean hopper counter clockwise until it stops. Lift it off. Remove the outer burr with the 2 wings and clean under the burr. Clean the opening going to the chute for ground coffee(inside where the burr was).
Install the outer burr. Install the bean hopper. Rotate the bean hopper to the French press grind (coarsest) and operate the grinder. This will clean the burrs and the passages. If it starts to clog, repeat the last part to clean the burrs and passage. It must be grinding to go to a finer setting, but you can go to a coarser setting any time. Another thing. Turn the grinder upside down (empty) and rotate the bean hopper back and forth to clean the threads of the adjusting burr..

Can't get the grinder grind adjust to turn.

Chances are something is caught on the inside feed to the grinder. Try turning the machine upside down over the sink and turning the switch left and right at the same time. Whatever is causing the jam is likely to fall out.

My Bunn Grinder sounds like it is jammed. I have power but no mov

First turn grinder to coarse setting and try grinding some white rice through it, that will clean out the coffee oils, if that does not work then the you will have to open the grinder and clean out the burr chamber and the spout for the grounds.

Clogged

The burrs need to kept clean otherwise it will create a lot of dust and jam it up. This is aggravated with oil coffee and flavored coffee. Thoroughly clean the burrs and chute.
