To adjust this grinder turn the adjustment nob to the finest setting (ESPRESSO or TURKISH) Locate 2 small set screws on the adjusting nob. Loosen these screws (do not remove them) about one full turn. Start the grinder and, with it running, VERY SLOWLY and GRADUALLY, turn the CENTER adjustment screw clockwise until you begin to hear the burrs begin to touch (whirring sound). Back off the center screw about 1/16 of a turn, shut of grinder and re-tighten the set screws. Then try the grind on DRIP or there about for brewed coffee.

    Your ESPRESSO grind should be pretty close to right too... It is hard for these grinders to get a perfect Espresso grind for a COMMERCIAL espresso machine... but it should be good for home espresso makers (no pump=less pressure)

Saeco primera ring, will not grind coffee, high piched sound as if there are no coffee beans to grind. Its also indicates out of coffee and of course there is coffee bean the hopper in it.
Sounds like the grind is too fine and the beans are not able to get to the burrs, try adjusting 2-3 numbers coarser. Remember only adjust when the grinder is running.

Hi, I have a Miele 4070 that I bought 3 months ago. It made great coffee for the first two months and then the coffee suddenly became weaker, and thinner and has less body. I have not changed beans, and...
,Hi
If you have adjustments for your bean hopper, 1 should have a + and - on it. Move that adjustment to the + but then back it up 1 click. Then go to the grind adjustment and move it down to a smaller #, but only when it is grinding. When you get the grind adjusted you should have grinds that look like coarse granulated sugar.
If you have taken the brew head apart you may have put it together wrong.

It seems to be grinding too many beans
Try adjusting the little sliding lever in the bean chamber, towards the minus you can also adjust the grind a little finer.

Solis master 5000 Espresso Maker is leaking
Before you go that far, what does the grind on the coffee puck look like; is it fine like powder or is it course. The water from the machine might not be able to go through the coffee and so the bypass is opening because of too much pressure. Try adjusting grind first.

Coffee not strong enough
I had a problem like this with my first proper Gaggia. Cutting a long story short I found that the coffee I was using wasn't ground finely enough. The Illy stuff that comes in cans was ok, but pretty much everything else preground (incuding Lavazza!) was too coarse.

Sidestep the problem by getting yourslef a Rancilio Rocky grinder then you can adjust the grind in TINY increments for your perfect coffee moment...

Coffee Grounds
Grinder needs to be adjusted or it popped out of its shaft.

Grinding the coffee too fine or the grinder backing up will cause tension between the upper burr and the grind shaft casing.

Once this happens 9 times out of 10 it will relieve pressure by popping itself out of the shafting or worse yet, cracking the shaft itself.

If you open the side of the machine where the brew drive is and you see grinds all over the place, there's a good chance that's what happened.

Needs to be sent out for repair.
