| [title] Inspect your grinder impeller | |
| [* black] First let's verify you have the problem this tutorial is designed to fix. These images show what a bad / worn out BCG800XL impeller looks like and then what a good impeller looks like. If your grinder has similar wear to the bad picture (and is jamming) then this tutorial will be able to help you. | |
| [* black] Unplug your grinder. Remove the hopper and take the upper burrs out. Empty out any coffee grounds (An air gun or vacuum helps) and then inspect the impeller blades. | |
| [* black] If the impeller can fit through the hole (ie: be removed just by taking out the lower burr) then it definitely needs replacement. A good impeller should not be removable without dis-assembly and the tips of the impeller blades should not even be visible. If yours is between bad and good, make a judgement call using the pictures as a reference. | |
| + | [* black] FYI: If your impeller is made of ***stainless steel*** rather than plastic (like the picture), your model is NOT the BCG800XL. In that case, you likely have a newer model with significant design changes (eg: BCG8***20***). Stainless steel should not wear out and so your problem is elsewhere. |
