Subject: Broken Saeco Italia
 

About a year and a half ago I got a great deal on a refurbished Saeco Italia superautomatic. It served me without any problems until a few weeks ago the grinder stopped working properly. It still spins, but it doesn't seem to pull in any beans. I unscrewed the top of the machine & tried to clean it out as well as I could, unfortunately it didn't make any difference. The machine still appears to be jammed. Does anyone here have any advice on how I might go about fixing this? I hate to throw away an otherwise fully functional machine because of a grinder problem that's probably just caused by a buildup of coffee grinds.

Got a Shop-Vac? Also, try a real air compressor blast (not the canned version) to loosen the crud up a bit. HTH.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a shop vac, but there's someone I can borrow an air compressor from so I'll give that a try.

sounds like the output side of the grinder is clogged.

call me for the fix.
