Hints & Tips
Trigger
The types of coffee machines
Manual: For people who like control over their coffee-making, the coffee grounds are loaded by hand into a cup-shaped filter. Capsule: Easy to use and mess-free, simply insert the sealed capsule (""pod"") of pre-ground, pre-measured coffee. Automatic/Semi-automatic: Decide what you want your coffee machine to do for you. Some models perform tasks at the push of a button, including cleaning the machine. They also offer a range of pre-sets for one, two or three shots of espresso at the push of a button.
Grinding the coffee beans
Some coffee machines have a built-in coffee bean grinder, which can be adjusted for coarse, medium, fine or extra-fine granules. Coffee grinders come in three types: Wheel burr grinders: The beans are crushed between two wheels, one spinning very fast and the other stationary. These can be noisy. Conical burr grinders: A metal cone at the base rotates against another surface at the top. These spin more slowly, tend to clog less and are quieter. Blade grinders: Beans are sliced finely using a blade. These may grind beans unevenly and leave coffee with a slight burnt taste if ground too long. If the espresso maker doesn't have an in-built coffee grinder, you'll need to buy a standalone one or use pre-ground coffee instead.
What is a thermoblock?
This is the internal component of a coffee maker that heats water to the optimum temperature range for making coffee (between 85°C and 96°C). For good flavour it's important that you don't scald the coffee. Machines with twin thermoblocks make coffee quicker because they heat the water for the coffee and create steam for frothing the milk at the same time.

Waste of money
I was excited when I got my coffee grinder but was quickly disappointed. It is really messy and gets coffee everywhere. The grind does adjust but the coarser you like it the less the machine works. You have to jiggle it to keep the machine going. It gets clogged really easily and again the mess, all over the container, the machine and the bench. It was a gift or else I would have returned it for a refund.

Not up to espresso standard
This machine doesn't grind fine enough for espresso - after researching the problem, I found that nearly every review for espresso drinkers said the same thing, that they had to disassemble it and add two washers on in order to make the grind fine enough. Sunbeam even sends out a washers kit because they recognise the problem. Yet they still don't build it the right way from the beginning? Disappointing to an otherwise adequate grinder.

annoying
Have had 2 of these. Both have worked great for a few months and then all of a sudden wouldn’t grind the beans fine (at all). Have cleaned out throughly and still won’t grind fine.
Hard and very annoying to clean.

You get what you pay for...
I have returned the grinder I purchased. I bought this model grinder 8 years ago and was extremely happy with it, but the hopper connection broke and so figured a 'like for like' replacement was the way to go.
As I have now read from other reviews, the current model has issues. Winding down the grind setting to 10 or less, appears to make no difference to the grind. Looking at the burrs I can see that they are not aligned and no matter how many time I attempt to re-seat them they never align correctly. The grinder spits out coffee is spurts the grind is all over the place, some fine, some coarse.
Maybe I just a dud, but from other reviews I've seen, I am not alone. Very disappointed as the 8 year old grinder is still working as good as the day it was bought, so I know how good it can be. I'm now looking for a replacement hopper for my existing grinder.
