Hi all
I've been trying to get my BCG800 back to functional status for about a year. At least 6 months back I got fed up and bought a BCG820 and using that happily.
However I was hoping to get my BCG800 back running again so I can run decaf beans on one and caff beans on the other (please don't judge, caffeine keeps me awake if I drink it later than 3-4pm).
So, the issue: takes 2-3 presses with max amount set to fill a 2 shot basket. I think it all started about a year ago whilst grinding beans when I heard a crunch and since then the BCG800 has needed 2-3 presses of 2 shots to get a 2 shot basket full. I've cleaned it at least 10 times and only last week unbolted the bottom grinder to find a solitary coffee bean stuck below it which may have been there a very long time. I put it back together and still needs 2 presses but since getting rid of that bean the grind is more consistent.
Any ideas? It's almost like even though I choose 2 shots on the grinder I only get 1 shot output, and compared to the BCG820 the 'fauly' BCG800 is very slow.
Thanks
Adam
