  1. Eureka Grinders
    OK....well after much difficulty with stripped screws, I finally managed to get into the grinder. The burrs were clean, as anticipated, but the movement was not as free as I would have liked. It would rotate, but just not freely. What I didn't do last time was clean the chute. I took off the...
  2. Eureka Grinders
    Well the first thing I did was clean out all the coffee. Brushed out all the grinds and put it back together and still the same noise. I put some beans in just to test but now unfortunately I can't get back in the top of it because of stripped screws. So frustrating!

    So I took off the hopper to see what was going on when I pressed the grind button, and I could see it was moving ever so slightly every time I pressed the button. It was like it wanted to go, but couldn't. I was filming it and managed to catch it spring into life for a millisecond by...

    OK quick update....I replaced the capacitor and wired them as per your diagram, next to the 5. It didn't work. Same noise as per the original video. So I decided to re-wire on the other side (just for kicks)....still didn't work. So doesn't look like it's the capacitor...unless there's...

    Cool - will give it a crack... Thanks!
  6. Eureka Grinders
    Ok so quick update on my repair job. I ordered one of the el cheapo capacitors from Rapid (ยฃ3) as per Rincewind's suggestion. It looks like it's the same thing, but it has 4 terminals on it as oppose to the 2 that are on the original capacitor! I was tempted to give it a shot anyway with just...

    oh wow - amazing! thanks for that! cool, well I'll take photos when the capacitor arrives and see if I can rescue my grinder...

    This is a link to it on US website: Capacitor I have been exchanging emails with Peter at Espresso Underground who is going to sort me out with one in the UK. Will take a photo when I open it up and let you know how I get on!

    Thanks for your post - this has just been suggested to me by someone else too. I'm going to buy a replacement capacitor tomorrow and see if that does the trick!
  10. Eureka Grinders
    Hi - I have owned this Eureka Atom since 2017 when they first came out. Today it has sadly died. I have given it a good clean, but still no joy. I have attached a small video of the noise it makes when I press the grind button - has anyone any suggestions as to what the problem might be...

    Exact same thing happened to me Itguy. I ended up with an ATOM which is just ten times better than the Sette. How's the Fiorenzato working out for you? What were the other contenders on your shopping list?

    Very little clumping - just as fluffy as the Sette. Grind retention - I don't single dose so I haven't measured it. I will try and measure it when my bean hopper next goes empty...

    Yeah I love my Atom! Big improvement on my (broken) Sette - looks better, sounds better, and grinds just as good. The dose by time is very consistent too - get 18g +/- 0.2g pretty regularly! Certainly more accurate than the Sette 270W which would more-often-than-not be out by up to 2g. I may...

    I'm in the market for a new tamper...I'm finding my grind time can vary massively without changing any other variable so figure my tamper/technique is the weak link! Torr Tampers seem to get generally good reviews on the forum...

    Hello - I need one more post to be able to access the marketplace so thought I'd post a pic of my setup. It's quite modest compared to some of the other setups on here but I'm very happy with it! Next steps: probably Acaia Lunar scales and a decent tamper!

    Hi - this exact same thing happened to my Sette 270W. Display came on, but motor did not engage. I have sent it back and now patiently awaiting refund :-) In the meantime, I purchased an Eureka ATOM. For an extra ยฃ100 I now have something that i) defo grinds and tastes better, ii) is quiet...
  19. Eureka Grinders
    Hi Just thought I'd contribute to this thread given the helpful info I've gleaned from members in the past. I've just taken delivery of a Diamond Silver Atom from Bella Barista. This is to replace my broken Sette 270W which only lasted 5 months. Prior to that I had a Rancilio Rocky which I...
