Bodum coffee maker with grinder produces inconsistent grind size, leading to uneven coffee strength.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dull burr edges, Burr carrier not seated correctly, Foreign object damage to burrs, Incorrect grind setting ring position

Safety first: Unplug before accessing burrs.

Steps to try:

Reset grind setting: Rotate the grind adjustment ring through its full range and back to the recommended setting to clear minor misalignment.
Clean burrs: Remove the upper burr and brush both burrs thoroughly to remove packed coffee fines.
Inspect for damage: Look for chips or cracks in the burr teeth. Replace the burr set if damaged or heavily worn.

Consistent grind is critical for repeatable coffee strength; replacing worn burrs can significantly improve performance.
