Introduction

Lorsque les meules sont usées, les grains de café ne sont plus broyés correctement. Le café moulu devient inégal et l'arôme en souffre. Voici comment changer les meules de votre machine à café Melitta Caffeo Solo.

  1. BqHYymfTo5wYgV53
    • Débranchez votre machine à café !

    • Retirez le réservoir d'eau et l'égouttoir.

    • Retirez le couvercle latéral et sortez le groupe café.

    • Retirez tous les grains de café.

    bei meiner Maschine muss ich die Schale 3-4 mal rausnehmen / einsetzten damit sich das Signal von „dauerhaft an“ auf „blinkend“ einstellt, deutet das daraufhin das der mikroschalter getauscht werden sollte. Übrigens, danke für das tolle Tutorial ..lg Tom

    Hans-A Shole -

    Problem ist behoben, Schalter getauscht, Position des Schalters ist bei der Caffeo Solo 950 sehr gut erreichbar. Alter Schalter konnte auch wieder gangfähig gemacht werden und dient nun als Ersatz.

    • Retirez les six vis Torx T10 à l'arrière.

    • Soulevez le panneau arrière. Il est souvent coincé et vous devez alors forcer un peu. Assurez-vous d'utiliser des outils de levier en plastique pour éviter tout dommage.

    • Utilisez un tournevis plat ou une spatule en métal pour appuyer délicatement dans les fentes des deux panneaux latéraux pour détacher les attaches sur le dessus. Celles-ci sont très serrées et il faut appuyer assez fort.

    • Il devrait maintenant y avoir un espace entre les panneaux supérieur et latéraux. Soulevez le panneau supérieur avec un outil en plastique. Il se coince souvent et vous devez utiliser beaucoup de force.

  4. QnyPTVXt3D3q5WSy
    • Insérez un outil en plastique dans l'espace entre le panneau avant et le panneau latéral gauche et agrandissez-le. Faites ensuite glisser le panneau latéral vers l'arrière. Il reste souvent coincé et vous devez utiliser beaucoup de force.

    • Débranchez le tuyau qui relie le réservoir d'eau à la pompe.

    • Retirez le panneau latéral.

    Hi, I have a Melitta Caffeo Solo E950 and had a problem with the switch (it said that the drainage tray was always in while I removed it).

    I was able to access the switch right after the step 4 behind the side panel.

    • Insérez un outil en plastique dans l'espace entre le panneau avant et le panneau latéral droit et agrandissez-le. Faites ensuite glisser le panneau latéral vers l'arrière. Il est souvent coincé et vous devez utiliser beaucoup de force.

    • Retirez le panneau latéral.

    • Le broyeur se trouve à l'arrière à droite de la machine. Le dispositif de réglage et la bague extérieure peuvent être déclipsés, mais cela n'est nécessaire que si le broyeur doit être complètement remplacé. Soyez prudent et utilisez une force mesurée pour le soulever.

    • Sous l'anneau blanc troué se trouve une petite boule (3,2 mm de diamètre), qui est pressée dans les trous par le bas par un ressort. Elle sert à enclencher l'anneau, d'où le clic. Attention, elle peut tomber et se perdre.

    • Les images suivantes proviennent d'une Jura et il y a de légères différences. Mais puisque le broyeur est le même, la réparation machine à café est fondamentalement la même.

    You mention a small spring-loaded ball that is “beyond the white ring with the holes”. Do you have a picture of where the spring/ball goes? I was disassembling this area and a tiny spring and ball rolled out of somewhere and I haven’t a clue where from. I could send a picture of the pieces if needed. Note that the spring and ball are like half the size of the springs/balls that go in the grinding mill.

    Jan Don -

    Yes Sir: this one and here, just beyond the red mark.

    VauWeh -

    I lost the spring and ball can the machine work without it?

    Elri Mitchell -

    @elrimitchell Yes and no. I think, the grinder will work for some (short) time. But it will not keep its settings and perhaps be damaged. Can't you buy the parts, (shop above), they cost less than 2€.

    • Le broyeur est ouvert. Prenez une photo du réglage, puis forcez un peu pour tirer l'engrenage de réglage vers le haut.

    • Sur certains modèles, il n’y a pas de réglage.

    • Selon le modèle, il y a également un joint en silicone sur la bague de broyage. Tirez-le simplement vers le haut.

    • Notez les marquages ​​d'usine, ici en vert. Vous devrez les prendre en compte lors du remontage. Faites tourner l'engrenage noir dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre d'environ 90 degrés. Cela signifie que la bague de broyage complète avec l'insert est libre et peut être retirée.

    The screw in my solo grinder is different. It looks more like a black ball than a screw. Any suggestions on how to remove that?

    Reni -

    Oh yes. On some models is a plastic cap. Insert a needle between cap and grindstone and pry it up, then remove it.

    • À l'étape suivante, veillez à ne pas perdre les trois petits ressorts, billes et manchons.

    • Le cône de broyage est fixé avec une longue vis Torx T20. La tête de vis est souvent recouverte de restes de grains de café. Dégagez-la et dévissez la vis dans le sens antihoraire.

    • Maintenant, le chargeur de grain (la petite pièce blanche hélicoïdale) peut être retiré. Le cône du broyeur et l'entraînement peuvent maintenant être soulevés avec précaution.

    Grinder screws are often left-hand screws. I assume this is not the case since it isn’t noted.

    Lisa W -

    Yes, that's true with Jura and others: open it counterclockwise . And you're right: the grinder screws in Saeco machines is left-handed, open it clockwise.

    • La plupart du temps, le broyeur est fermé avec de l'adhésif. Tout doit être bien nettoyé à nouveau, pour que l'arôme du café soit à nouveau bon.

    • L'anneau de feutre autour de l'entraînement peut être soigneusement soulevé avec une aiguille puis nettoyé. Ne le lavez pas, sinon il va gonfler. Tournez-le simplement la première fois, de sorte que le côté propre soit vers le haut.

    • L'intérieur du broyeur peut être nettoyé avec un pinceau et un chiffon humide, l'entraînement avec une brosse à vaisselle et de l'eau tiède. Laissez bien sécher !

    What is your process for cleaning the felt ring once removed from the drive access?

    roger henry -

    I use a damp rag with a little dishwashing liquid. Another option is to simply turn the ring upside down.

    VauWeh -

    Cleaning the felt ring ruined it.

    roger henry -

    Uuu. How did you do that? You can buy it e.g. here.

    VauWeh -

    Do you know any vendor in the US that sells the felt washer?

    Jan Don -

    As I´m german, sorry no. Perhaps they do: https://www.jura-parts.com . And have a look for Capressa Infinity grinders, it´s the same. Or make one DIY using a piece of felt.

    VauWeh -

    the water expanded the felt ring and it did not shrink back once dry.

    Can you recommend a parts place in the US to get this felt washer? The link you sent does not show that it would fit the

    Jura ENA4.

    -Roger

    roger henry -

    In this case things are different. Did you really replace the grindstones? Or only clean the device? When my informations are right the ENA 4 is equipped with a "Aroma +" grinder, which means special grindstones, not the normal ones. As far as I know Jura does not sell them separately, only the complete grinder. I think, the felt ring will fit, but I don't know where to buy in the US. I think, the grinder also will work without the ring or cut one of a piece of felt. Good luck!

    VauWeh -

    If you can't find the felt ring, you have a few options, make one, beg the German jura parts seller to sell you one, or search aliexpress for felt ring, felt washer, felt gasket.

    jimmylasvegas -

    Hello. The piece where the springs and ball bearings are housed: where can I buy a replacement, please if you know.

    Thanks

    Farhan Miah -

    Do you mean this one? Don't know, If they ship to your country, ask them.

    VauWeh -

    Same thing happened with my felt ring. It expanded and never retracted after washing. Did anyone figure out where to buy it in the US?

    Jan Don -

    The Capresso Infinity grinder should be the same, so look for someone who supplies its parts.

    VauWeh -

    Make one, lots of materials at your local hobby store or online. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680549...

    jimmylasvegas -

    If you can't find it a wool washer from Michael's or Joann etc will work. You can also get them online at aliexpress and ebay.

    • Appuyez sur les deux petits loquets, puis appuyez alternativement à gauche et à droite, puis le cache se détache.

    • Il suffit de retirer les deux clips de maintien de la bague.

    • Après nettoyage et changement de la bague, le cache est reclipsé. La bague de broyage a maintenant été remplacée.

  11. TQPSPKUFKZbAXuF6
    • Insérez d'abord l'entraînement nettoyé, puis les trois douilles, les ressorts et les billes. Montez maintenant le cône de broyage sur les trois billes.

    • Insérez ensuite le chargeur de grains, vissez les vis centrales. Lors du vissage, appuyez sur le cône vers le bas et assurez-vous que tout s'enclenche.

    • Cette vis s'enfonce dans du plastique. Si elle ne se visse pas correctement, le filetage se cassera. Vissez-la donc d'abord dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre, jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez au début du filetage. Vissez-la alors correctement.

    I think the balls have to go first. That way the middle stone can slip if the grinder is blocked.

    That is also what the exploded diagram that circulates online seems to show.

    Comments appreciated.

    Mark -

    I did this fix many times: the balls are on top oft the springs! They do fit into the corresponding holes in the underside of the cone, as you can clearly see in the picture. If the cone is stopped by e.g. a little stone, the balls come out of the holes saving the motors life.

    VauWeh -

    Thank you for the explanation! It is clear now.

    Mark -

    Everything is in right place

    I push as hard as I can. But it seem the that the screw is turning in the void. I remove all the part to see if the hole was strip , the screw seem to enter firmly

    jason warren -

    In this case I fear, you have to buy a new grinder. Replacing it is straightforward.

    VauWeh -

    i find a bit longer screw and it work but now the black ring is spinning in the void. the black outer ring and the white outer ring are suppose to be turning together ?

    jason warren -

    I have one more spring and ball, that are half a diametr of the rest. Can’t figure out where do they go?

    Aleksandr Sevastjanov -

    Might be the ball and spring beyond the big black gear, makes the “click", when turning it.

    VauWeh -

    Thanks. I followed the steps on the Nivona grinder and replaced the springs and the balls in the exact order. Now the grinder can only grind finely and this is too find for my brewer and hence my espresso machine is clogged. Can anyone see what when wrong after the reassembly?

    haydaru -

    I think the parts don't fit together properly. First: There are three holes on the bottom of the cone that the balls must fit into. Second: at the bottom of the helix are two tabs that must fit into corresponding grooves.

    VauWeh -

    How tight should you screw this screw in? Until it can no longer turn the screw driver?

    roger henry -

    Short answer: yes, not to hard. The screw ist spring loaded and cannot move easily. Be sure that the helix fits.

    VauWeh -

    Did you adjust the cone by turning the black gear and the "fourteen clicks" method?

    VauWeh -

    hello, changed the burrs and the coffee was too fine, clogging the machine. Haven't read correctly your tuto !!

    The adjustment oft the new grinder burrs must not necessarily be the same as the old ones. You can approximately find the mean position, which was marked before, by turning the outer ring as far as possible clockwise, then turning it fourteen clicks backwards.

    So you should not reallign the green mark , but use the 14 clicks from the grinder full closed for medium.

    En remontant les meules, on serre jusqu’à toucher les 2 cônes en tournant dans le sens des aiguilles, puis 14 clics dans le sens inverse pour avoir le réglage medium. Surtout si on a serré la vis centrale différemment du montage initial.

    • Insérez la bague de broyage. L'engrenage noir est de nouveau tourné vers la droite jusqu'à ce que les trois repères soient alignés. Ensuite, réinstallez l'engrenage de réglage tel qu'il était à l'origine.

    • Cependant, les nouvelles meules n'ont pas nécessairement les mêmes réglages que les anciennes. Vous pouvez trouver un bon repère pour régler la meule si vous tournez d'abord l'engrenage de réglage le plus loin possible vers la droite, puis quatorze crans vers la gauche. C'est à peu près le réglage médian qui a été marqué à l'origine.

    • Il est bon de vérifier que le broyeur tourne librement. Vous pouvez retirer l'entonnoir à grains et vérifier les meules de côté.

    • Ensuite, assemblez les pièces restantes dans l'ordre inverse.

    • Vous pouvez affiner le degré de mouture en plaçant un rouleau de papier toilette vide à la verticale sur le broyeur ouvert et en versant quelques grains de café. Branchez la machine à café (attention !), sélectionnez une tasse de café et regardez le café moulu sortir du broyeur.

    i turn the black gear but the white one doesnt turn any more , they are suppose to turn together?

    jason warren -

    By turning the the black gear the grinder ring moves a little bit up and down and changes the grinder setting. The white ring holding the grinder ring indeed does not move. Or do you mean the big white gear beyond the black one? If the black and the white gears are not connected, press firmly the black gear down, until it clicks in.

    VauWeh -

    i remove a part the black and the white ring, it seem that there was black pin on the black ring that was maybe glue to the white ring ? but it seem broken or unglue , it whitish on the tip like if it was broke

    unless i see nothing that make those 2 ring jam together. maybe i should try to reglue with a dot of epoxy ?

    jason warren -

    Buy a new one, it's cheap! It ist just clicked in. Good luck.

    VauWeh -

    Thanks ! Alot!

    jason warren -

    Super Anleitung. Die neue Mahlsteinen war deutlich anders als die alten. Ich habe die Einstellring so weit wie möglich nach rechst gedreht, dann 14 Zähnen nach links, wie beschrieben. Die Maschine malt jetzt perfect. Danke.

    Joe Crites -

    if you move the ring fourteen clicks back, it means maximum opening or closing of the setting. Hope you understand what I mean. With these fourteen clicks, how to set this adjustment stick

    Jaroslaw Tylutka -

    First turn the ring clockwise so that the grindstones sit tightly on each other. Then open it by turning the ring counterclockwise for fourteen clicks. This is a medium setting. You can do a fine adjusting later. Watch the grinder in action using the toilet-paper-roll method. Good luck!

    VauWeh -

    Ok. Thank you very much.

    Jaroslaw Tylutka -

    I am looking to do the same replacement. The instructions looks great but I cannot find anywhere where to buy the two pieces grinder compatible for a ena micro 1. Any suggestions where I could buy that?

    thomas herby -

    This is indeed difficult. The grinder of the ENA Micro 1 is special. So far I have unfortunately only found the complete grinder, very expensive. (~ 150€). A reason not to buy this model, but that's no use to you anymore.

    VauWeh -

    or a cheaper used one (~70€): https://www.jura-ersatzteile-shop.de/mah...

    VauWeh -

    you can get that on eBay and aliexpress/alibaba. if you like take out the burrs and and measure them and I can tell you if they are the common ones being sold everywhere.

    jimmylasvegas -

    In the meantime, it is available.

    VauWeh -

    If you mark and line up all the rings as well as the spot on the “coarse -fine” adjuster and return them to the exact position at the end, do you have to bother about turning the clicks counterclockwise at the end.

    Ken Tuerk -

    Well, try it. Normally, everything should work fine and you can check the result on the grind. But the method with the 14 clicks is really simple.

    VauWeh -

    Great video. Ma problem is, there were only one mark on the rings, and I didn't mark the rings. Will the 14 clicks be enough initial adjustmet? Why is part of the black ring raised, and where does it go in relationship to the coffee shute? Thanks for any help

    fred4ernst -

    Did you remove the black ring? If the (green?) mark on the outer white ring is on 12, the middle of the raised part is on 8, as far as I remember. It serves as stop, there is a counterpart in the bean reservoir. Not really important and not in every model. And yes, the 14 clicks work fine. Try the grinder open, putting an empty toilet paper filled with some beans on it.

    VauWeh -

    Thanks for the instructions. It all worked out, but for me it was easier to remove the whole grinder housing (3 screws) in order to remove the top part (step 7).

    Also, before removing the grinder cone and the 3 springs and the 3 balls, a smaller spring and a smaller ball fell off somewhere and I could not figure out where to put them. Again all 3 springs and balls are as you describe but the extra smaller one I left out while re-assembling.

    At the end it is a success, but was curious if you knew where these extra parts are from

    GA376 -

    Sounds like the that's what makes the clicking sound when you adjust the grinder from course to fine.

    If you remove the top, black ring with the gear teeth, you will expose the off white plastic, it has holes all the way around,

    that where the ball and spring go to make that clicking sound. Not a big deal, I misplaced mine and I've been using the grinder

    for a few years now without it. https://www.juraprofi.de/Jura-Ersatzteil...

    jimmylasvegas -

    @jimmylasvegas is right. This ball is the detent for the adjustment of the grinder.

    VauWeh -

    I cleaned the grinder because it was dirty and didn't grind well: no coffee output. After everything is cleaned and replaced it is turning free but doesn't grind. There is still no coffee output. I do not understand why the coffea beans do not come through the grinder. Has anybody a soluton?

    D.M. van Bruggen -

    Thank you! I want to attempt this service after reading your post.

    Do the grinding burrs fit an XJ9 Jura? I cannot find the parts at a reasonable price anywhere else. Any advice is very much appreciated

    Jon -

    You need special grinder burrs, as it is a Aroma+ grinder. In the meantime they are available. I do not know, If they will ship it to your country, at least in europe they do.

    • Les deux photos sont absolument authentiques : le café avant l'échange est fin et transparent. Après, il est noir et corsé, il a plus de crème. Aucun autre réglage n'a été modifié ! La réparation en valait vraiment la peine.

    This is very helpful. My question is that when disassembling the unit, a very small ball came loose (not one of the balls under the grinder cone that you flagged). Now my grinder does not adjust for a fine grind so i think the ball was somewhere in the grinder adjustment assembly?

    Thanks

    Jared Rocco -

    Yes. This must be the ball in the grinder adjustment. Have a look to the steps 5 - 7 in the guide for saeco: https://de.ifixit.com/Anleitung/Saeco+Vi..., the grinder is nearly the same. The big black gearwheel can be lifted upwards using a little force and you can see all those little holes - and the ball was sitting under one of them thus keeping the adjuster in position. Hope it helps and you can fix it!

    VauWeh -

    Do you have a picture of where that tiny spring and ball should be placed back? When I was unscrewing the grinder unit from the body (hadn’t yet disassembled the grinder itself) the little spring and ball hopped out of somewhere and my video didn’t catch where from. I have a Bosch Benvenuto built-in and couldn’t find it in the parts diagram catalog.

    Jan Don -

    You lost your balls? there’s 2 ball bearings that make the clicking sound as you adjust the grind. I lost both of mine, never found them again. Anyone know what size they are? you can buy new balls at a local bearing store or on alibaba/ebay.

    jimmylasvegas -

    Hello VauWeh,

    I’ve cleaned my grinder and assembled it back. One thing I can’t restore is that grinder adjuster doesn’t click anymore. Could you please advise something that might affect it? The coffee is perfect but the grinder setting doesn’t stay in place. When it grinds, vibration makes it move towards a more coarse setting.

    Poogle Gixel -

    Hello, as I mentioned in my answer dated 18.11.2019, I suppose you lost the ball, which makes the clicking sound and holds the position of the big wheel. Sorry, I don't know a solution for that.

    VauWeh -

    Perhaps the spring and ball for DeLonghi will fit. They are available here.

    VauWeh -

    Another possibility: buy a used grinder, like this one

    VauWeh -

    At least I found it here, indeed the same as DeLonghi. Diameter is 3.2 mm.

    VauWeh -

    Thanks, coffee is black now, and full of aromas but a bit strong !! So take some time before reassembling all , to set the outer ring for default medium grind, not respecting the outside green mark.

    Merci le café est maintenant noir et sent très bon. Le réglage de la bague doit se faire avant de tout remonter, pour régler la finesse de monture par défaut. J'allais jeter la machine....

    intimepop -

    Thank you very much for the clear instructions. I started with just disassembling the grinding unit of my 9 years old Solo and cleaning it. That did not give the results I was hoping for. Bought an new set of grinders, installed following these instructions and the result is fantastic. Hoping for another 9 years on this machine with the help of the repair guides on this site (of which I have successfully used a couple now).

    pietpeer -

    It is always a pleasure for me when my guide could help.

    ou trouver les meules pour une caffeo solo ?

    Stéphane PIGOT -

    Ce sont les mêmes que pour Jura, affichées dans l'introduction.

    VauWeh -

    I followed these steps (helfpul, thank you). I was careful to set the grinding ring back to the standard setting as described, however when reassembling, the coffee comes out watery. Sure enough I take out the drip tray and the grounds are very large.

    I did notice that the burr and the ring were quite damaged/ rusty.

    Would you suggest that the grounds being far too large is more likely to be due to the reassembly being incorrect, or the stones being damaged/ worn?

    Jimbo -

    @jimbo27280 As a rule of thumb: if the stones have more than 10,000 cups on them, they should be replaced. But if you really see that they are broken, replace them in any case. It's worth the money and the effort!

    VauWeh -

    Just replace the burrs, you can find them on eBay and aliexpress. I can't post links here but they cost between $10-35 shipped. They look identical to the originals.

Hello there. Congratulations for you instructions. I am preparing to change the grinderstones on my Melitta too. Please tell me , probably it is necesary, which parts are better to be greased/regreased before reassembly ? Also do you have any knowledge of improved version of grindstones with better metal ? Some shop claim that they sell newer/improved version like for example version 5.2 . Any ideeas ? Thank you.

Ursan Andrei -

@ursanandrei I would buy the original ones. They do last for about 10 000 cups, I think this is OK ;-). The grinder (and the stones) for Jura, Melitta, Nivona, some Bosch, Siemens, AEG, Krups... are all the same. If you live in EU the price will be around 25€, e.g. here.

And: Normally there is no grease on the grinder. If the large gear wheel can no longer be turned easily because there are coffee grounds between the wheel and the grinder, you need to clean it and possibly lubricate it very thinly with food-safe silicone oil.

VauWeh -

Thank you for your answer. Can you tell me if the grindstones kit with the code H432712 are suitable for my Melitta E 957-240 ? ******

Ursan Andrei -

I think so, yes it should fit. This is the standard kit for the normal Melitta. In the unlikely case it does not fit, be prepared to give it back.
