I think you have to ensure the exit chute isn't blocked as these can get clogged up quite easily.

 

So I recently came into possession of my new set-up. A Eureka Mignon and La Pavoni Europiccola! However, it seems once it gets past a certain fine setting it doesn't put any grinds out whatsoever. All the motions are made, and it sounds as though the burrs are rotating, however no coffee comes out.

I feel like i need a finer grind, as am producing no crema whatsoever with the La Pav. Any advice?

As per above. What beans are you using? What's the roasting date? Are they very oily? I had a Mignon for 3 years and it never got clogged up, using with VST baskets and Gaggia Classic mainly.

My advice to you would be to:

- Take the top plate off;

- Make sure everything is nice and clean, including the exist chute (Just use a hoover to over it. Just make sure that you don't have any lose screws!!!!)

- Put the plate and hopper back;

- When you adjust the grind finer, make sure the burrs are always spinning.

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks guys, all is well! My own stupidity, i was trying to grind with the burrs completely shut.

Doh!
