How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before accessing the grinder or chute.

  • Empty hopper: Remove beans from the hopper to prevent more coffee entering the grinder.
  • Access chute: Open the service door or chute cover (if provided) and use the supplied brush or a small wooden stick to loosen compacted grounds.
  • Vacuum carefully: Use a small vacuum nozzle to remove loose grounds from the chute. Do not insert metal tools.
  • Test with small dose: Refill with a small amount of beans and run a shot to confirm grounds now reach the brew group.
  • If blockage recurs: The internal chute design or flap may be damaged and require professional cleaning or replacement.
