I can't remember if I ever took mine all the way out. But as I think/remember it, I thought it simply screws in. You need to turn it like a screw about 10 turns or so to get to the point that is clicks for the grind select. At least I think that is how I remember it...I unscrewed it to clean and then just screwed it back in. But it has been ages so I could be wrong. Sorry if that wasn't too helpful.

If you're talking about the little coolie hat-shaped thing inside the cup that holds the whole beans, I couldn't get that off to clean it. It was too tight. I searched for instructions but couldn't find any. Sounds like you got it off and the cup too. There must be a peg on the bottom of the cup that fits into a hole if you get it all lined up right. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

worst design ever...remove the 2 silver screws, unscrew (counter clockwise) the middle plastic grinder cover, remove the middle plastic insert, remove the outer plastic ring and finally ... fill. Then reassemble - good luck with the metal screws.

I remove the top plastic, then set it gently back on, flip the tortilla over and remove the other plastic, which is now on top. Since the first side was already loosened, it comes back off again without tearing. Be sure you're not pressing them paper thin.The Imusa is pretty powerful. It can make them so thin that they're unmanageable.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

The grinder only operates when the lid above filter is pushed to the left and left open before pressing "on". Did you try it that way? :)

I assume the part is the plastic cover that one rotates to change the grind. Several companies sell various replacement parts (Google KitchenAid coffee grinder for a list) but none of the ones I checked sold this particular part. When mine needed a small part for the electric motor no one had the part and KitchenAid just told me to buy another grinder. I eventually did buy another but feel they should provide more support for such an expensive item.

I had issues after I took apart the gun for cleaning, I had the tip screwed in too tight. Try loosening it and it should work

Easy. After grinding, I remove the top and clean the top under running water using a few swipes with a regular toothbrush. Then I clean the inside of the grinder using a paper towel----I do this part pretty soon after using it and it's no problem getting it clean.

The pan and grinder attachment's are, the motor housing is not. I will take it all apart and run only the parts by themselves in the dishwasher. I do hand wash the parts to get all the big stuff off then in it goes.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

Had the same problem, used a paper clip to unclog the part where the water come through (the metal pointy part that pokes the hole in the k-cup). Didn't have much success until I kept doing it and ran water through and then *as water sputtered through, I lifted the handle to make it stop, then put it right back down to resume.* each time coffee grounds came out little by little until POP the clog came out and water poured out. It's now working great!!!

Hi Kate, this is a little tricky to diagnose via Amazon. Did you remove the hopper and bur? You should do this just to be sure there is nothing visible that could prevent the grounds from exiting the unit into the container. You might also try running a paperclip down through the shoot to be sure nothing has gotten stuck in there. Also, did you set to a very fine grind? If so, maybe dial it back to be sure you can get any grinding action. Does the motor seem as though it is laboring to perform the grind? I hope someone else can chime-in here, but give Baratza a call. I know you said no clogs, but I always go through the steps (even the most logical ones) a couple of times to be sure I did not mis something. Good luck and I wish I had the magic answer to your problem. I hope you get the grinder working because I sure enjoy mine and it still is performing perfectly. Best

Make sure you have the grind feature turned off, no water in reservoir, and hit the "on" button. That'll turn it back on. I used to do this with my Krups coffeemaker all the time. It worked!

My grinder works great. Regarding your problem, you could try replacing the batteries or possibly changing the type of salt/pepper your using. Good luck!

Hi Zack, To adjust the grind, unscrew the nut at the very top of the handle. Lift off the handle and you will see a tabbed washer that fits into a slotted retainer below it. Lift it until the tab is no longer in the adjustment slots below and turn it either counter clockwise, for a larger grind, or clock wise for finer, and drop it back into one of the slots in the retainer. Replace the handle and nut and test the grind. It's pretty responsive and you will notice a difference from as little as two or three notches in either direction. Keep tweaking until you get your desired grind. Hope this helps, Moses

I did the same thing. Then I read the Amazon reviews and realized I should have just taken off the top. So I did that, emptied all the peppercorns out, and then it was a lot easier to push the grinder bur in far enough to get the Phillips head screw to connect to the center shaft. I'm not really the "handy" type but this seems to have worked.

I had this problem too when i first got the grinder and was switching out hoppers for different beans. Tip the grinder over and make sure the top area is clear of any beans or grinds, if there is anything there it might inhibit the hopper from locking properly. Next just snap and twist to lock the hopper in. If this doesn't work it might be defective but as far as I know this should resolve the issue.
