Capresso Grind Inconsistency / Burr Wear

Capresso coffee maker’s grinder produces inconsistent grind size or very uneven grounds.

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

Worn burrs, Burrs misaligned after cleaning, Foreign object damage to burr edges, Incorrect burr spacing adjustment

Safety first: Unplug before removing burrs or adjusting grind settings.

Steps:

Clean burrs: Remove the upper burr and brush both burrs thoroughly to remove built-up coffee oils and fines.
Check for damage: Inspect burr edges for chips or rounding. Damaged burrs will not grind evenly and must be replaced.
Reinstall correctly: Ensure the upper burr is seated and locked according to the grind setting marks.
Test with fresh beans: Grind a small amount and inspect the grounds. If inconsistency persists, replace the burr set.
