If it is a brand new machine, As the other reply implied, there will be a very mild smell for the first couple of times and it will slowly go away. If the machine has been used for a while and you start getting the smell, did you find anything else happening with the unit? If so, get the unit checked by an authorized service center. Call Inno Concepts at 770-594-1815 if you need further assistance.

two to 3 times, you will get that smell. its not an issue and it is due to new coils inside grinder.

I never got any smell from the beginning so not sure why it is so.may be it might go away after 2-3 times. So its better not to grind anything in large quantity. Just for namesake grind something little and see if its going away and then use with large quantity.

Could be the coffee is ground too fine. If you are grinding it or having someone grind it, specify it is for a "flat bottom" filter. My guess is the water is flowing over the top because of the fine grind, it can't filter through fast enough.

Perhaps the grounds are wrong, do you await the light going on? Some suggest using a paperfilter but I don't mind grinding it fine and having a bit of silt Or two grinding runs, usually, one coarse and the top fine (not too fine ... caffeine is a certain size, like LSD, it gets smaller in your system )

Mine had some grinds in it, but not as you describe. Did the packaging look as if it was opened? I think I might be upset if my machine arrived 'dirty'. Even if the motor probably would not be damaged by the grinds, I would still expect my machine to arrive clean. Good luck, it really is a very good grinder.

There may be some dirt, grime or coffee grind particles between the tank and the machine, prohibiting a tight seal. I would first try to clean the contact areas, particularly the O-ring.

The fan should be blowing and there will be an ozone smell. I sometimes have to reseat the back plug on my machine.

Mine has an odd smell while using, too, but I understand that this is normal.

I have not experienced any smells. What is the condition of your connection wires?

It shouldn't smell at all. Either you have a leak, or it is not burning correctly. Good luck it should be checked.

I'm actually not sure about that one... The grinder is "stone" so water SHOULD be fine... But I don't know. I've washed out the receptacle part but haven't felt the need to clean the grinder yet.

I seem to recall that the filter might need to be cleaned. I don't handle this, my roommate does, But I do notice it it smells from time to time. Run it for a while and check it later.

There must be something wrong with the one you have. I didn't have any varnish smell with mine.

That is normal for this grinder. We do the same with ours. Some coffee beans have more oil then others, I believe the oil is what causes the clog. PS do you freeze your beans? That might help slow down the clogging.

This did not happen to me. Before using the grinder I washed the grinding stone and the container thoroughly. However, even if you do not wash them, the color should not 'run'. Maybe some grease or stain was ready on the stones

I did not have that problem when I got my mill last Christmas. I would contact the seller and ask for an exchange. Food products & chemical odors don't mix. We have been very happy with our mill. I imagine they will exchange it.

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

I think it is a problem with the grind. I have been using this coffee for a while now and the last 2 cases I have ordered have been very un-even in the grind...some of it is too coarse and there has been a lot of "dust" that is just way too fine to pass through the filter properly (tamped or not)
