Expert Review

Expert Review
If your Buffalo coffee machine grinder is making a right racket or vibrating more than it should, this little damper is often the culprit. A worn-out rubber can't absorb the vibration, leading to noise and potential damage. It's a straightforward swap-out that makes a massive difference, quieting the machine down instantly.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the machine from the mains first.
- Requires basic tools for accessing the grinder assembly.
- Regularly check for signs of perishing or cracks.
- Clean away coffee grounds before fitting the new part.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: A significant increase in grinder noise and vibration during operation is the most common sign that the damper has worn out.
Q: Is this part difficult to install?
A: For a technician or someone with basic mechanical skills, it's a relatively simple replacement that requires accessing the grinder mechanism.
Q: Will this fit other brands of coffee machines?
A: No, this part is specifically designed as a genuine spare for Buffalo coffee machine models GM947, GM948, and GM949.
