IT seemed to be doing a good job over the past 4 weeks weve been here, house-sitting for a friend.
my first encounter with an espresso machine and grinder, i brought my own beans in anticipation and have loved it.
but after reading through the threads here over the past few days have discovered that ive been doing lots wrong.
and had a look at the little grinder...
i adjusted it to coarse and back to fine, where it was, set on the finest setting, number one.
i know its probably the cheapest grinder that you can get, so i dont expect much.
my next grind, which i just moments ago attempted, disaster!
all the beans are chewed through in a split second! spat out in chunky big lumps!
what do i do?
there must be something jamming the burrs open or something??
there seems to be no way of servicing/cleaning this thing!
Question:
Has anyone owned this model and maybe know how this problem may be solved?
otherwise ill have to buy these guys a new grinder... and feel obligated to get them one that is approved of by a coffeeSnob!!
attached photo of the adjustment wheel inside the hopper, and a full photo in case your wondering what this machine looks like.
