Hello,
In the past I filmed once the brew group working without noticing anything wrong, but today I checked again and filmed the brew group a couple of times while it’s working and after a few coffees the problem became visible.
After the coffee is ground there’s always a small amount of dry coffee falling at the bottom of the machine, I thought this was the origin of the problem, but it’s not.
It seems the main problem is the pad of used coffee which instead of falling in a compact quite dry piece, is too wet and sticks in the chute where it gets ejected then coffee after coffee this wet coffee sticks everywhere in the mechanism and accumulates where the arms of the mechanism rests, limits its movement and next coffee the brew group isn’t aligned with the grinder.
On the video I attached we see that a part of the coffee is ejected and another is sticking to the mechanism, the coffee I made after this one, everything stayed stuck on it.
How can I solve this problem of coffee being too wet ?
Most of the sites I see explains it can be a coffee too coarse or too fine but I never changed it between the time it was working fine and the time problems happened.
(The only change was the replacement of the rings inside the brew group)
And also is it normal to have this dry coffee falling on the right side of the brew group ? (It always happened since the beginning)
