  • 6910 Group handle Plastic Insert

    At the sunbeam coffee school, the instructor recommended removing the plastic insert from the group handle.

    Easier said than done. Does anyone know how to remove it without smashing it?

    Firstly, around here its called a graeme.

    Removal is easy.

    First remove the spout.

    Then squeeze the end of the graeme together with a pair of tweezers or something similar.
    As you squeeze, push and it will pop out.

      try taking of the spout and pushing it out backwards

      also try putting in hot water to expand the Ghandle a bit (might work?)


      beaten like a lessor god........

              I tried to catch some of the little bests one day.. Buggers are nasty and that was with teh small group in a EM4800... Removed mine ASAP and then from every EM6910 I have and or get a look at..

              Love the look on teh faces of some as the furry stuff comes away... But the jelly really gets to me.. Shudder... And to think they then often blame Sunbeam.. Ever heard of cleaning and Maintenance ????

                I used a flat blade screw driver to push it back through once I removed the spout. Piece of cake. Even if you do break it trying to get it out it wont matter cause youll never want to use it again anyway

                  hey Moray, did you do the School in Melbourne??
                  if so i was there, i quite enjoyed it and now my milk texturing is coming along nicely. the Graeme is well worth removing, i just warm up my group handle for a bit longer now, defiantly dont miss the smelly little bugger. ;D

                    Well I unscrewed the spout, and unclipped the Graeme (funny name).

                    But unfortunatley the thread on the spout was cracked, and it fell apart. It must have been cracked for a while, as the exposed metal wasnt shiny, but brown and coffee stained.

                    I will contact Sunbeam and see if they will replace it.

                    @theredcapsicum, yes I went to the school in Melbourne. It was good, reinforced a lot of the info available here. The best bit was all the practicing, and the feedback on using the machine.

                        The name was actually suggested by the user called DIG.

                          I guess you clean under it then ;D, do you keep it in for the "not properly warmed up" reason? or because it just came that way?

                          either way, as long as its clean......all good [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

                              Yep...I figure its there, it doesnt cause a problem if you clean it (pops out easily)...so leave it in during use.
