Pasquini Moka Coffee Grinder Questions & Answers
What are the maintenance procedures for the
If this is in reference to the Pasquini K2 Moka Grinder, they are pretty much maintence free. Remove the beans/hopper, then pushing the button on left hand side down, you can unscrew the dial counter-clockwise. This will give you access to the top/bottom mills. Use a wire brush the machine came with to clean the coffee off from the mills teeth which builds up over time. Then reassumble and readjust your grind for the beans you are using.

My grinder is jamming
Possible that you installed something incorrectly but I don't think so. It sounds like you're not after the right problem. My guess would be that some bean shards got into the motor or some other place. Most of the motors used on these machines are geared down so that they make more torque and lower speed. Thus...the motor itself is actually quite weak. That's why it is jamming.
What I would start with: take the unit apart as much as you can...by taking out the burr, the receiver cup and all that. Turn the unit over and tap it onto a newspaper covered table with some bit of force. Do it a couple of times. That may fix it. If not, you'll have to disassemble it and find the item jamming it up. Be sure the unit is unplugged when handling it. It is possible that some of the screws are non-tamper. You can get the right bits at the hardware store. Be sure to tighten all screws when you're done.

Pasquini Livia 90 Auto Dose Panel
First, I'm not a Pasquini tech, but I have worked on several similar brands.
* Most Semi-automatic machines will usually have the program button on the same as the stop button. Some will program all the groups at once or can be individually set up for different pours (shots)
* Holding down the program or stop button for 5-10 seconds will activate the program mode. Note that if you don't press any dosing buttons after 5-10 seconds the program mode will revert to normal mode. Some may cancel out the previous dose set up.
* Before starting, determine what you want a shot to look like. 1 oz, 1.5 oz, 2 oz., etc.
* Set up your portafilter with ground coffee. DONOT change the grind size once your satisfied with the QUALITY of pour (don't confuse this with the amount of the dose. This is handled with the programing of dose water.) Water is absorbed by the grounds depending on the grind size and some times the amount. Pods are different from loose ground coffee too.
* Load up portafilter and place measuring cup(s) under spout(s).
* Press program button and hold for 5-10 seconds. The button will light and stay on (some blink).
* Press the dose button for the appropriate portafilter you have mounted. The pasquini requires you to press the stop/program button once you have achived the desired dose. Other brands require the dose button to be press and held down until the amount of dose water is reached. Letting go button logs the amount in but only after pressing the stop button does it set.
* For other brands, you may need to set up all buttons prior to pressing the program/stop button to confirm dosing of all buttons.
* Remember to keep reloading fresh coffee grounds in the portafilter for each adjustment. Used (wet) coffee will throw out the water dose calibration.

Schaerer SCP is not rinsing correctly
Check the Operating Temperature:
Ensure that the machine has reached the correct operating temperature. If it hasn't, the indicator light will be on. Wait until the machine is fully heated before proceeding.
Check for Ongoing Programs:
If a rinse or cleaning program is currently in progress, the cleaning button may be flashing. Wait for any ongoing programs to complete before trying to brew coffee.
Inspect the Brewing Unit:
Make sure the brewing unit is properly seated and not obstructed. The brew group should be in the correct position.
If the brew group overflows, it could be due to a blockage or misalignment. Remove the brew group, clean it thoroughly, and reinsert it properly.
Inspect the Coffee Spout and Drainage Area:
Check the coffee spout for any clogs or blockages. Clean it if necessary.
Examine the drainage area at the bottom of the machine. If water is running away onto the floor, there may be a leak. Inspect the drip tray and other components for leaks or damage.
Refer to the Operating Manual:
Consult the operating instructions manual for your Schaerer Coffee Club machine. If the above do not resolve your issues, you may have to contact Schaerer Services.
