Baratza B-Virtuoso Manual Do Utilizador

If your grinder is not dispensing coffee normally, it could be clogged 

with coffee powder.  This can happen if the grounds bin or portafilter are 

allowed to overfill and ground coffee gets backed up into the grounds 

chute and grinding chamber.  It can also happen with the build up of cof-

fee powder over time.

To clear the grinder remove any beans that remain 

in the bean hopper, then remove the bean hop-

per.  Also remove the ring burr and the grounds 

bin.   Check to see if the grounds chute is clogged 

by looking at the exit of the grounds chute which 

is located at the top of the recess that holds the 

grounds bin (see photo # 1).  If clogged, remove 

the coffee grounds with a stiff piece of wire such 

as a straightened jumbo paper clip and your 

cleaning brush.     

      

 Looking at the grinder from the top you’ll see the 

cone burr in the center and a paddle wheel with 

eight fins that rotates at the base of the cone burr 

(see photo # 2).  During grinding these fins push 

the ground coffee out of the grinding chamber.  

Ground coffee can get tightly packed between the 

fins. Use a straightened  jumbo paper clip (or simi-

lar) to remove any coffee powder lodged between 

the fins.  Once all the coffee is removed, make 

sure that all eight fins are present and reach to the 

wall of the grinding chamber.  If the paddle wheel is broken or warn, go 

to www.baratza.com troubleshooting to see how to purchase and replace 

the paddle wheel.
