Basically all correct here, but it helps to give the grinder a couple of knocks with your hand on the side, to make the coffee in the shoot drop out. Also good to have a long/thin brush to clean the shoot from the front up. But there's a metal bar array in there at the top (can be seen with a flashlight). Do not damage that. But it is a replacement part, just in case. What's left out here, pro tip: if you turn the burrs when opened, you'll find a lot of coffee at the bottom of the burrs. For that, and also the coffee around the screws in the burrs (top and bottom: 3), use toothpicks. Also helps to turn the grinder upside down and knocking any coffee out.

Ironically my Eureka just bound up. Perfect timing on this and runs perfect now. Beans I use on the oily side and had accidentally ground a large batch of beans that made it bind up. I do notice chute gets accumulated grounds over time. Will clean more often now.

Sometimes, coffee can get on the connections at the bottom of the grinder during cleaning. I would skip to step 3 in this KBA: support.clivecoffee.com/en/eureka-mignon-motor-spins-in-reverse and get some compressed air.

I thought I had the same, then noticed a humming noise and investigation showed it getting very hot, cos jammed. Unfortunately I forgot about the anti-clumping thing and shoved a chopstick up the chute to clear it, so it works but I'm gonna have to replace that bit...

I watched another video and it says to mark down the top burr position and lower burr position. I did all the cleaning according to your video and now the grinder is giving really bad coffee extract… Could be burr misalignment during cleaning process? How come it’s not mentionned? How will I be able to find the original burr position and be back to factory alignment…
@clivecoffee
Ай бұрын
Unless you put the burrs back on blind, that isn't likely. You may just have to make some grind adjustments or adjust your espresso recipe to get your shots back to where you need them to be. There is not really a "factory alignment." If you want to try realignment, it is a very simple process, and here is a really great video on it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qJhptpubimiWqo4

It’s exactly the video I watched afterwards. How come you have to mark the top burr plate to the motor? I didn’t do it and I don’t know if I replaced it the same way it was before…. Is that a thing that could end up in changing the output of the grinding?!

@@MrDethkIok Deep cleaning your grinder will for sure change the output of the grinding and how close or far away the burrs are from the zero point. Sound like you just need to dial in your grinder. This video will help with that! kzitem.info/news/bejne/wHej2nawi2iUgnY

Help!! I just cleaned out (actually not 100% clean still) my Eureka Oro Single Dose today. The manual was terrible because it didn't tell you how to open the top part. Anyway, when i first setup this machine, the manual asked me to tighten the screw to secure the hooper. before cleaning today, I removed the screw completely. the problem now is that I cannot tighten that screw, its very lose even i tried many things. I suspected that i might dropped a washer or something. any idea? also, i don't see that you tighten that screw in your video. thanks!

A bit, because there's no build up left on the burrs. But it doesn't matter, just go towards "finer" until you hear the burrs touching, there's your (new) zero.

Your grind setting does not change becuase only the bottom burr is moved by the grind adjustment dial. However, since you just removed grounds from the burr chamber and chute it could have an impact on grind speed, and you may need to make small adjustments.

With the Grindz you're hoping to loosen old coffe and "rinsing it out" by pure mechanical movement/sticking of particles, the process here removes, or tries to, remove any particles that are there. If done correctly, everything is clean and no coffee remains are left.
