Why do my burrs keep breaking off?
Moving the burrs closer together for a fine grind will cause them to press against any bean fragments or grinds already in the grinder. If the burrs are moving, those fragments get ground up and brushed aside. If the burrs aren’t moving, then they will press into those fragments and cause the burr to get pushed out of alignment.
What happens if I set the Burr grind too fine?
Do not set the grind too fine; if the grind is in the Turkish range, like baby powder, then it is set too fine and the machine could jam again. If the machine is not able to grind on this setting, then there is a more serious jam. Please refer to the cleaning and maintenance icon above for instructions on burr cleaning and calibration.
