Did you unscrew the parts of the handle? It can be tricky to put back together. Check your manual for an exploded view.

Don't take it apart beyond removing the filter basket, since it is highly unlikely you will get the portafilter (handle unit) back together . Soak the whole think in Urnex coffee machine cleaner and hot water and then flush.

Apply lubricant to the O ring (silicon grease), and this should make it easier to put it back together

I use a small brush that came with my old grinder to scoop out the extra grounds when I remove the grounds collection container on the bottom. I have never tried to clean out the top. I don't know if you can completely disassemble the unit--I've never tried to completely clean the grinding burrs. Pressurized air (either via air compressor or canned air) would likely work

I'm not sure I can help, I have problem with holding factory made coffee mugs,so I made a larger handle out ofwood and uses the dip to cover it. It was messy and didn't get hard, I gave up.

I never had that problem. Could it be dirt? Could taking it apart and cleaning it solve the problem? But only if you feel sure of your ability to reassemble it.

I'd had the same problem for a while and had to use my finger to move whatever was remaining of the handle. Ended up ordering replacement spare parts, including the spring, at www.bullonerosso.de in Germany. Spare parts set me back under EUR 20 - I would've paid more in postage if it hadn't been for a friend of mine who was traveling to Germany and brought those parts for me. I had to use an L-shaped screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the ground coffee container. Other than that, replacing the broken handle didn't take more than five minutes.

I have the same problem because I don't screw on the lid. The lid is hard to clean with all the plastic parts attached to it so I just pour the coffee in cup without it. Since it spills out, I pour it over the sink when I want coffee then set it down on a paper towel. POOR DESIGN!!

I use paper towels to scrap the clogged grounds from the filter when I need to use it again - I have two filter cups to fill up with my decaffeinated coffee in the mornings after breakfast daily! Good luck in cleaning yours thoroughly!!

As for cleaning; After I finish grinding the coffee beans, I use the little broom/brush (that comes attached to the side of the grinder) to get all the grinds out. That's it! I could use a damp paper towel to wipe it out if I were to grind other things, but I just do coffee. :)

I just want to chime in that I was having the exact same problem, and we were about to give up and get a new coffee pot. I tried the suggestions of taking a toothbrush to the outer opening and inner filter area, and problem solved!

You Meyer have packed the coffee too tightly. When you pack th coffee just tamp it slightly after a few times you will get the hang of it

you have to be sure that you are not over packing the coffee grind into the basket. Clean and use the pin to make sure you have a clear hold for water to pass. Before brewing place basket into place as if to brew a shot and just run water through to make sure it works. Repeat this process until it works. Also the baskets do come apart with a screw driver. be sure to take apart clean and reassemble.

I don't have a tried and true answer for you because I have not had a problem. But here are a couple of suggestions to try. Make sure you let it cool down before trying to dump it. Make sure to take it all apart (including the rubber gasket) and cleaning really good at least once a week or maybe more. Make sure you don't put more coffee in than you are supposed too. Make sure it's the right grind of coffee and not espresso grind. Hope you get the problem figured out.

We had this problem the first time we used it. We had to take everything off and clean out the area where the coffee grinds are supposed to fall into the brew basket. There was so much compacted in there that we had to really dig and then use a can of compressed air (like you use to clean a keyboard) to get all the particles out. It has worked fine ever since the first time. Good luck.

I put 30ml regular ground coffee in pod. Clean all grounds from sealing area . Good Luck !!

When you put the kcup in you need to make sure the holder for it is completely flat. That should help with the coffee grounds. For the smell, I would run some white vinegar through it and that should hopefully take care of it. The weakness depends on how much water you put in. I know you probably know all of this but this is all I know. I love mine.

I do know that if you have the silver handle pushed DOWN and then'/try to push the coffee pod in it will bend and possibly break the middle! You handle has to be up, place the pod in then......Push down the handle to start the making!?

That is normal. Look at your manual where it talks about cleaning and adjusting. You will see in the picture the two burr plates that grind the beans are separated by a spring. As you turn the knob to adjust the grind size it compresses or relaxes the spring. As the beans travel through the plates they flex some which causes the knob to wobble slightly. The plates need to be cleaned periodically with the supplied brush, so see for yourself. Remove the two big silver screws and slide out the knob assembly which exposes the burr plates and the spring. It is simple and only takes a couple minutes. That is normal. Look at your manual where it talks about cleaning and adjusting.
