Adjusting Bottom Burr
The Conical Burrs are made of hardened
Stainless Steel for extra-long life. However,
after prolonged use, the Bottom Burr may
require adjustment to compensate for wear.
If the coffee grinds are too coarse when the
Grind Setting is below 2 and the espresso
is consistently under extracted, the Bottom
Burr may need adjusting.
Contact Breville (details are on the back
page) should you think that the Bottom Burr
needs adjustment.
Prior to contacting Breville Customer Care,
please ensure that you are using freshly
roasted beans and that the Top Burr is
seated correctly.
Important: Old coffee beans, no matter the
Grind Setting, will have a fast extraction
and will produce an under extracted tasting
espresso.
Important: If the Top Burr is not seated
correctly the Grinder will produce coarse
coffee grinds. Grind off excess coffee
beans and clean the Top Burr & Grind
Chamber.
Note: Breville Customer Care may
determine that Bottom Burr adjustment
shims are required. Do not attempt to add
shims without first consulting Breville.
