Can the grinder be replaced?

I'm not sure. We were still within the warranty period, so we requested and received a new machine. Great customer service - we had the new unit in 2 days.

Why? I had my previous from Capresso for 8 years and never had a problem with the grinder. Other parts gave out and the grinder was still going strong! Please consult the manufacturer.

My understanding is, not at home. However, I have never had a grinder wear out in years of use with my previous two burr grinders. Capresso suggests that if the grinder hangs up on a stone in the beans, the entire grinder should be returned to them, apparently so that they can replace the grinder

If it can, they aren't telling how. I would have liked to adjust the grind size to a real "fine" but without possibly destroying the unit I couldn't figure out how to adjust the grind sizes. I have a stand-alone grinder and it came with directions as to how to make its grind finer than the factory setting. Similar directions from Capresso would be nice, but with all the other deficiencies I have just gone back to using a Melitta style filter. Easier to control and the coffee comes out as strong as I like.

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

Yes, however, I broke the "spugger" tool when I tried to remove the battery. I was able to use a grinder to put an edge back on it. I was able to complete the rest of the replacement without incident.

Your first answer seems to cover your question pretty well. I'll add that because this is a nearly unique machine, keep up with the warranty. I don't think many local repairmen know how to service the grinder.

No, it's not. I was disappointed that it couldn't be used again, but their products are so good that it doesn't matter.You can, if you wish, buy grinder bottles similar to this one that are made to be used again & again - just look in any kitchen supplies store or department. I have 2 and they sure come in handy.

Hello Roopa , Did u buy protection plan along with the wet grinder ? If so they would fix the knob or replace with new one depending upon the protection plan.

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 think it is best left for buffing. It would be better to get a separate grinder.

I would advise against it. I never tried it but it I think that is stretching its capability. I think a grinder would do a better job.

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.

Yes you can replace the blade. It comes with a sharpening stone though so replacement is not really necessary unless something terminal happens.

You can adjust the grind by adjusting the nut at the top; the same nut you use to remove the top.

There is a knob on the bottom (top in this picture) that will tighten or loosen to change the grind. Honest these are pretty nice to use on a daily basis.

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

You definitely can. Turn the silver knobs clockwise and the grind size will decrease.

I've never tried, but you can adjust the grinding mechanism from fine to coarse so I'm guessing you could.
