De'Longhi Professional Burr Grinder for coffee

Bigcheeze · 19-09-2015 12:50PM

What was the original bargain price ? It's now £26.55 which is still a bargain no ?

I know this isn't the Coffee and Tea forum but are beans sold in the supermarket decent ?

It was £23.12 when I got it.

Some are ok. I tried Supervalu beans last night and they were decent.

I tried Tesco java beans before that and wasn't fond of them.

There's really nice beans in stores in Waterford not sure if you can get them elsewhere called Ponticelli Viking Roast.

So I just ordered this and when you select an Irish delivery address the prices drops to £22.13. If you select a UK delivery address (I tried my Parcel Motel) the price stays at £26.55. Weird!

Still showing £27.22 for me when selecting Irish address.

Bought one of these. First use was fine, very pleased. Took it out this morning for the second time and it's totally dead. Following the instructions to a tee, but can't see what's wrong.

Anything obvious I should check before sending it back?

Push down hard on the lid where you put the beans in, I had that too and this fixed it. It has to be firmly down

Tried that, no joy. Gaspin' for a cup!

I thought mine was dead but just hadn't got the small lid on the ground coffee container

Deffo have the small lid on, and pushing down hard. Can hear good clicks from both compartments when assembled. Might try and change the fuse....

Got mine today and thought it was dead but I hadn't put the small cover on the collection compartment.

Luckycharms_74 · 25-09-2015 05:50PM

Got mine today as well. I forgot to change the grind from coarse to medium grind. It was find though and worked good

Small cover on, no bits in anywhere that shouldn't be. Just dead to the world.

Amazon won't replace, just refund, and it's feckin' gone back up in price, so I can't just buy it again.

Sigh, 1st world problems!

That's not like them, can you not get it fixed under warranty?

Tried ringing DeLonghi on Friday, "Sorry, this helpline closes at 12.20". Think I tried at about 12.24, gah.

Will try 'em again tomorrow, fingers crossed

Is the burr loose at all (thing in middle of holder for beans)?
Take it out and set coarseness to, I think max, before putting back in and turning anti clockwise. This is how to make sure it's inserted correctly and grinder won't work unless that's done if it's loose.

This instruction is hidden in the maintenance section of manual and I had to do it after the first seemingly ok use.

Sadly, no. Have taken it out, cleaned it and reassembled it several times.

Delighted I took the advice on here and bought the Bialetti moka pot along with the grinder. I bought really good coffee beans from a new coffee shop in Celbridge. First cup I forgot to lower to 'fine' and made a pot/cup with coarse grind. Couldn't believe how good it tasted. Thanks OP and for others inputs on this thread.

I htink the holes in the bialetti are too large for fine grind anyway you just get a load of sludge in the bottom of your cup.
