Bought new, used not much, couple cups a day.
Now stopped working: motor spins very well, but almost nothing comes out, just powder at the beginning, chamber cluttered with powder, motor gets very hot.
Online search indicated clutter / burr replacement / failed capacitor.
What I did:
1. Full burr/chamber cleaning, including shoe.
2. Replaced both burrs.
3. Replaced capacitor.
Still almost nothing comes out (coffee dust initially) and chamber gets cluttered quick.
The only (possibly) improvement is that motor is not getting hot anymore.
There is no Macap distributor in Australia.
When you try to access manufacturer's Website in Italy, you are getting "505 error" (can't access).
I am thinking about replacing a motor, but was told you can't order it in Australia.
You can order Macap motor from UK, however, you MUST be a dealer.
Also motor cost most likely will be close to new grinder's price.
Any thoughts or suggestions?..
