I have just bought a Krups Superiore 894 second hand but the instruction manuel is of no use as the pictures are not clear and when you put the coffee in it just goes straight into the discarded coffee grounds holder when you turn the drum. The discarded coffee grounds holder then fills with water. Have I bought a dud?

Hi,

Please make sure that your filter is cleaned out properly. Also, you can switch power outlets before attempting to make your espresso again.

Thank you.

Hi austyn90211,

Welcome to fixya!

Here is the user's guide to your espresso machine: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000035208.pdf

Enjoy!

Hi Jo!

The website for this product is here. Just under the top picture of the machine is a link to download the manual if you didn't get it when you bought the machine. There's a customer service number at the back of the manual. They should be able to tell you how to get any parts you need.

Looks like a pretty neat machine. I hope you get it brewing soon!

Here's I how was able to do it. I caution that this procedure may result in the molded snap locks breaking since they do not appear to have been designed to be removed.

1. Using a wide flathead screwdriver, I pulled the rubber grip ring from around the top of the rotating unit. This allows a better view of the edge of the removable silver top.
2. I popped the silver top off of the rotating unit and set it aside. It is held in place by four molded snap locks which are noting more than plastic u-shaped extensions which attach to corresponding hooks on the rotating unit.
3. Once the silver cap is removed, I used a 3/4" spade bit to bore a comfortable hole in the top of the unit. Be careful not to remove too much material or it will weaken the attachment points of the removable silver cap.
4. I passed a screwdriver through the new opening and pushed the plastic lever mechanism towards the broken release key. When looking at the inside of the rotating unit, you will notice a plastic knuckle resting close to the inside face of the release key. Just beneath this knuckle there is a horizontal slide with some circular holes in it.
5. By forcing this slide beneath the knuckle and towards the release key, you can raise the release lever and remove the rotating head.

I hope this helps.
