Troubleshooting

• Grinder feels stiff or difficult to turn:
  • Check for foreign objects (e.g., small stones) among the coffee beans.
  • Ensure the burrs are clean and free of old coffee residue.
  • If grinding very fine, the resistance will naturally be higher.
• Inconsistent grind:
  • Verify that the grind adjustment dial is securely set and has not shifted during grinding.
  • Ensure the burr assembly is properly tightened and aligned.
  • Clean the burrs thoroughly, as accumulated oils can affect consistency.
• Grinder not producing grounds:
  • Check if the hopper is empty.
  • Ensure the burrs are not completely jammed. Disassemble and clean if necessary.
