Inconsistent Shots or Brew Times
If your espresso suddenly pulls faster or slower without any change in dose or recipe, worn burrs may be producing an uneven particle distribution.
Unusual Sounds or Smells
Grinding should be smooth and controlled. Loud squealing, grinding metal sounds, or burnt smells can indicate bearing, motor, or burr issues.
Frequent Adjustments
If you need to constantly adjust your grinder just to stay in range, the adjustment mechanism or burr carrier may be worn.
Addressing grinder issues early protects your espresso and your equipment. MAAS ELEKTRO can inspect, rebuild, and recalibrate grinders for both home and commercial setups.
