Grinder faults are one of the most common issues we see on the Barista Express. The most
typical symptoms are a grinder that has seized, a noisy grinder, a grinder that runs but
doesn’t actually grind, or a dose that doesn’t change regardless of the setting.
If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s worth trying a few things first. Remove the bean
hopper and hoover out any remaining coffee beans. This allows you to twist open the upper
burr and clear out any compacted grounds underneath. In some cases, this is enough to free
a jammed grinder and get it working again.
If that doesn’t resolve it, the fault is likely internal and will need professional attention. Get in
