Coffee Residue in a New Grinder

These grinder assemblies are adjusted and run in with coffee beans at the factory. As a result, traces of ground coffee may be present on delivery. This residue comes from the factory run-in process and does not indicate previous use by a customer. The grinder is brand new and supplied in this condition by the manufacturer.

When Should the Grinder Be Replaced?

Replacement may be necessary if the grinder is mechanically damaged or its inner and outer burrs are worn. Worn burrs can affect grinding performance and grind consistency, which may influence the quality of your espresso.

A change in coffee flavour, a reduced dose or an uneven grind does not necessarily indicate a faulty grinder. Coffee deposits, the beans used and the grind setting can also affect the result. Identify the cause before replacing the assembly.
