a. Make sure your bean grinder is not a spiral blade; and the blade is still sharp b. Check whether the surface of the boiled coffee grounds is still smooth.

two。 Filling pressure is too loose or grinding is too coarse

a. Check whether the surface of boiled coffee grounds is penetrated by water to make a large hole b. If the above situation, try to increase the force of the filling pressure; if not, fine the scale of the bean grinder by one frame

3. Filling too tight or grinding too fine

a. Without changing the filling force, fine the scale of the bean grinder by one frame.

4. To hit too hard or more than once.

a. Check whether the gap around the coffee grounds exceeds the 1mm, or knock the coffee grounds into the knock box without effort. In the case of the above, reduce the side strike force during the next filling.

And only hit the side once
