Saeco Superauto Grinder Calibration Demonstration | Tune Up For What

[@angeloincorvaia4862]

I have an intuit. Is there a mark to line up the white line? When replacing the key is it placed in the coarse, fine, or medium position?

Hello, thanks so much for the video!!! I have a question: I think my Saeco Intelia has a problem - as it grinds coffee but does not brew it and dispose dry coffee powder with message NO BEANS. What is the name of sensor and where it's located so I can try to find a replacement part? Thanks so much for your help and advice!

[@Jeedehem]

Thanks a million! Always thought my Saeco had a ´´birth’´ defect. I tuned it until I obtained a consistent grind. No more ´´meh’´.

Any way to do this on the XSmall? I love the XSmall, but I want the grounds to be even finer than the XSmall allows (which has 5 settings, but even the finest setting isn't good enough). Thoughts? Have you ever done this?

[@VadimOganesyan]

is the grinder on a timer or is there a sensor to detect the amount of fresh ground coffee dropped into the brew head? My xsmall grinds a bunch but then pretends its out of coffee and dumps it out

[@Beyond3dGraitec]

Thanks. Another demo I found explains to adjust the grinder halves hard together then back out a set number of gear teeth ie; x3 teeth? Then position the adjustment knob at its finest position - so that it can't be adjusted finer once all the covers are installed? (to prevent damage). Visually adjusting the 'factory' white line to the edge of a random plastic feature seems like guessing to me.. & does not take into consideration long term wear..

Thanks; when should one perform this? How would I know when/if I need to do this to my machine?

Hello & thankyou for your tutorial, I have a Saeco Intelia HD8752 about 11 years old with the following issue: If the unit hasn’t been used for a few hours or the power plug is unplugged and plugged back in again, upon power-up, the automatic rinse cycle starts as it should: You can hear the pump groaning, sounds like it is blocked. This automatic start up rinse is either very slow with little intermittent hot drips taking many minutes for the cycle to complete - which then leads to normal use. OR No automatic start up rinse drips and therefore the process fails entering into ‘prime mode’ which also fails & leads to an unusable ‘maintenance spanner symbol’ code 5. The only way to bypass this is to unplug and re-plug in the power plug, power-up the unit, then as it tries to perform the automatic rinse cycle, manually press the STOP option to bypass the automatic rinse and then the machine can be used as normal & makes great coffee. Note: The above symptom’s got worse after I performed a de-scale cycle, which failed at the end with of the final rinse / prime - but fully worked up until that final point. Maybe there is lime scale lodged in one of the following places: 1. Boiler 2. Solenoid valve 3. Steam & water regulator Note: This is strange because it is 100% possible to run the manual rinse cycle as per the instructions: Press the ‘pre-ground’ coffee button (with no coffee in it), then press the coffee / memo button and it does a big hot rinse no problems at all. Also, after use, when the unit is powered off, it performs a small rinse cycle with continuous hot running water coming out the dispenser, but only for a very short time. I have totally re-built the brewing unit per various KZbin demonstrations with new stainless steel plunger screen + plunger o-ring, disassembled & blasted out all the tiny holes in the plastic plunger, made sure all the elbows and holes are clear and clean, installed the valve spring and glass ball correctly, greased all the o-rings, sliders and pivots. I have also fully taken apart the dispenser locater under the LCD display, disconnected the tube that connects to the brew unit, blasted water + compressed air through it so that it is 100% clear. Fully internally cleaned out the dispenser unit. I have calibrated the coffee grinding unit. The other issue I have is that that GREEN does not work on the LCD display - however I can still faintly see the LCD instructions - enough to get by. I haven’t run the LCD display diagnostics because that is too difficult to see / follow. But it seem like the pump + grinder & heater all work. I have disconnected & reconnected the LCD & checked the other wires, but can’t see any damage. Years ago the green would flicker on every now and then, but dead these days..

If i am not happy with even the finest setting, can i adjust the grinder past the calibration mark?

[@ralph9987]

Can I increase the max amount of coffee that it grinds beyond the max on the lever? Cheers

[@michaelpatton7807]

hello Seattle Coffee Gear, what do i do if the Top part, which you poppped off at 3:50 doesnt move and come off? Thanks fopr your help!

[@worldrooster]

Thanks, you saved my Saeco Intelia.

[@stefanocornacchio9896]

hi, thanks for your video. I have a problem. The coffee grind is coarse even though the regulator is set to minimum. Is it possible to draw even more of the grinding from the inside?

[@yavorm.7503]

Did you managed to do this, i have exactly the same issue - coffee comes out in 17 seconds. which is way to quick for me. I

[@stefano1795]

@@yavorm.7503 no, i'm sorry

[@AnteUp34]

will this also work on the moltio?

[@tabaks]

A shot from directly above to show "right there" spot would have been a very good idea after all that talk about snapping gears. Also, no one addresses the elephant in the room where it is IMPOSSIBLE to adjust the fineness while grinding since the magnet switch stops the machine as soon as you try accessing the yellow adjuster while the machine is runniong. Come on people, throw us a bone here!

Thanks for this vídeo.

[@alekzzisrec]

Great video, just did that a few hours ago with my Minuto :)

[@jakp8777]

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+jak p (skiguy09) Not sure what you are referring to- do you have a time stamp for it?
