Possible Causes

Beans bridged in hopper, Oily beans sticking to walls, Hopper gate closed or obstructed, Broken hopper agitator (if fitted)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before reaching into the hopper.

  • Stir beans: Use a wooden spoon to gently stir beans in the hopper to break any bridges.
  • Use drier beans: Avoid very oily dark roasts that tend to stick.
  • Check hopper gate: Ensure any adjustable gate at the bottom of the hopper is open and not blocked.
  • Clean hopper: Empty and wipe the hopper with a dry cloth to remove oils.
