Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my grinder start?

Bean jam, worn burrs, or motor issues. Remove beans and clean the burrs manually.

Can I repair the grinder myself?

Basic cleaning and unjamming is safe. Burr replacement or motor repair may require professional service.

Why does the grinder hum but not turn?

Burrs are jammed. Manually rotate to dislodge stuck beans. If still stuck, the motor may be failing.

Should I buy a separate grinder?

Built-in grinders are convenient but can be limiting. A quality separate grinder often produces better results.

How often should I replace burrs?

Every 6-12 months depending on usage. Steel burrs last longer than ceramic. Clean weekly to extend life.
