Troubleshooting the CoffeeTEAM TS Model#465
Grinding related issues:
•
The grinder does not grind any/enough beans.
•
The coffee tastes weak.
•
The grinder struggles, or sounds “clogged”.
•
The grinder does not engage, makes no noise, and does not grind any beans.
Solutions:
Most grinding related issues stem from neglecting to clean out the feeder channel. Over time, coffee sediments and residues can build up
inside the channel and cause a blockage. If the blockage becomes too severe, coffee grounds will back up into the grinder, and may cause
any or all of the issues listed above. It is advisable to remove the feeder channel cover (as shown in the pictures below) and clean the chute
with a small brush and/or a dry cloth or paper towel periodically. Never use frozen or cold beans in the coffeemaker as this can cause
damage to the grinder. Always take care to thaw beans in open air, for at least 4-6 hours if frozen or cold. More frequent cleaning may be
required if the customer is using an “Oily” bean such as French or Italian roasts. Immediate cleaning of the channel is required if the
customer observes any of the following symptoms:
•
Moisture or heavy oil build-up has caused the ground coffee to block the feeder channel.
•
The user does not plan on using the grinder for more than a week.
•
More coffee sediments than normal appear to be building up in the channel.

With more regular cleaning of the feeder channel, grinding related issues are avoided.
Remove the feeder channel cover by using a ball point pen to depress the silver ball bearing, while sliding the cover forward. Use a small brush
to sweep out any coffee sediments and then a dry cloth to wipe out any moisture.
