What is wrong with Krups ? can anyone tell me if fine grind is all the way to the left or right?

I have 2 KM7000 Krups in our residence and our winter residence. One did blow a fuse after 2 years of heavy use. If Krups would put in an easily replacable fuse or an automatic shut-off after an hour or so it would be a great machine. I love the coffee and ease of use so I would buy one every year if required which of course is not. It has worked 2 years with the replacement fuse. The only problem I have is with some packages of Starbucks French Roast the beans are so oily that I have to on ocassion help it feed into the grinder. When I mix my normal blend it feeds great. I have tried the Cuisenart and don' like it because it requires cleaning where Krups doesn't. Great machine with a small problem.

I wouldn't say it's a "problem" but some of the grounds cling up the side of the chamber due to static electricity, for sure. It just makes it look like it's full of grounds all the time, but doesn't seem to cause any actual problem after 6 ish months of daily use. The problem with this grinder is that the "extra fine" setting doesn't (and never did) work at all. However, the "fine" setting is good enough for us- it grinds it close to espresso - level fine ground.

How "fine" is fine? Good question. My first grind with the coarser plate is less "fine" than I normally purchase at an local supermarket chain store and the second grind with finer plate is more "fine" than what I normally purchased. That being said realize I have now ground the meat (usually chicken) twice. I hope that helps. I am not trying to be cryptic.

Sorry this is late, maybe this can still be helpful to you. I find that I wobble along with the grinder in a complimentary movement way. I don't set it down on a surface to grind. I hold it in the air and let one arm grind and the other hand holds it, sometimes going in the opposite direction to be more efficient. I still use it everyday since I got it 2 months ago. No problems yet.Hopefully never!

Mine is brand new, and it does not grind finely at all. Everything is coarse, even when it's on the finest setting. I am going to return this.

You will see tiny bits of greens. It never gets completely homogeneously smooth for me regardless of the grinding option I select.

To answer your question, I tried the "coarse" setting (since I never use it). Most of the pieces were coarse but some were more like "medium." Looks like the grind is not even on the "coarse" setting.

I looked at my paper work for the Krups grinder, it looks like it might be made in Canada. However, I am not sure. Sorry.

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

Yeh Bruce I was super anal about not "cross contaminating" my grind but I have not had an issue yet. Only issue I had was when I first bought this grinder I tasted a metallic after taste in my coffee. I was ready to return it but gave it a couple weeks and I'm glad I did. I think the burrs just needed to be seasoned. Which goes back to the question "SHOULD I clean my grinder, not WHEN.

By buying another coffeemaker! I had a lot of different problems with it right off the bat so I returned it and went back to Krups, and I will never stray again! Sorry.

My Krups machine wasn't listed but it looked exactly like it... I had to buy it and it's was the same and works great. Hopefully it works for you

Yes, that is normal. Mine came the same way and worked with no problems, disconcerting to seek your brand new grinder covered with coffee grinds.

Do you have the correct side up? This is the correct way from Breville. http://brevilleusasupport.com/bov450xl/

I wish I could help you, but our Krups has never given us any problems....I am wondering how it actually " broke? " We have never experienced leaks. Krups is a very good name, I am surprised at this happening.

Like the others have said, mine is a full flat grind. The only thing I'm not really that crazy about is the finish--it has a feel similar to sand paper. I'm new to this kind of finish, so I'm not truly sure what the advantages of this are. You can always sand it down with fine grit sand paper, or remove it with some paint stripper if you so desire.
