Is there a place where one can post questions on small appliance
repairs? My
Braun coffee grinder has become very slow in feeding beans through. I
expect it's
due to oily beans. I had an earlier model (straight sided hopper) that
I could just unscrew
and clean it out, but this newer one with taper hopper resists all
attempts to take apart.
I'm looking for some clues on how to take it apart to clean.

TIA

alt.internet.appliances but it's almost dead. There are some very good
forums. Just Google appliance and forum.

Specifically for a coffee grinder, you might try alt.coffee.

Thanks, Al. I've tried that, but the problem is they all are focused
on large appliances.
I did find http://forum.doityourself.com/forumdisplay.php?f=67 but
there are no postings except
one asking for a moderator. I tried posting to it but for some reason
my post never appeared.

I expect the lack of interest is because the small appliances are
typically thrown away these days. But I'll keep looking.

I can't help you with your Braun coffee grinder but I can suggest a highly
recommended coffee grinder that I bought and love: A Starbucks Barista.
Typically costs $120 but you when Starbucks has a sale you can get it for
around $80. We had ours for over 6 months and we're very satisfied. I don't
make expresso which places the most demands upon a grinder.

Thanks, John. I'll take a look. The Braun 3045 has a MSRP of about $80
and can be bought
on eBay for about $50 plus shipping, which migh bring it close to the
Barista on sale. It worked
well for several years, grinding mostly the oily Starbucks French
Roast. I wonder if the
Barista will hold up as well?

I don't have the literature in front of me so I can't provide details, but
the Barista has an extremely good warranty.
