Expert Review
If your grinder motor is whirring away but the beans just aren't grinding properly, this little sleeve is often the culprit. A worn sleeve can cause the burrs to slip, leading to an uneven grind or complete failure. It’s a relatively simple swap that can get your coffee machine back to serving perfect espressos in minutes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the machine from the mains first.
- Ensure the new sleeve is correctly aligned on the motor shaft.
- Clean out old coffee grounds from the chamber before fitting.
- Periodically check the grinder for wear to avoid downtime.
