My
Saeco Vienna Deluxe started to leak water underneath and the grinder
will only grind coarse and not fine for good espresso, should I ditch
this one or repair? I know Saeco is not good at customer service but
loved the coffee this machine made for over 2 years. Thanks.
I would repair it, it sounds like the grinder needs to be adjusted (burrs may be dull), and the leak on the bottom may be coming from the small drain hole on the back of the brew chamber. If you remo;ve the chamber you will see the white water valve that the chamber connect to, if you look below the white valve the small chamber in there will be filled with water, below that there is a small discharge use a stit stick or paper clip to clear hole.

You were absolutely right, the water leak was precisely coming from the chamber below the water valve that drains on the tray. Thank you. I set the grinder manually after removing all other parts and I got it to grind finely again but I'm sure at one point this will be remedial at best.
