1. Check Bean Storage Level
Avoid storing more than a week's worth of beans in the hopper.
Beans are best used within 2 weeks of their roasting date.
2. Verify Grind Size Setting
Check if the grind size dial hasn't deviated significantly from setting 5.
Start with the default setting of 5 and make fine adjustments as needed.
3. Check Grind Amount Dial
Verify that the grind amount dial is properly adjusted from the 3 o'clock position (starting point).
Adjust so the tamper cap is level with the filter basket rim after tamping.
4. Clean the Grinding Cradle
Thoroughly clean out any ground coffee remaining in the cradle.
Accumulated coffee oils can become rancid and affect taste.
