A coffee grinder requires a lot of components, even though they are not the biggest devices. This does depend on which type of coffee grinder you have. Normally the “doser” coffee grinders require more components, seen they are mechanically a bit more complex. They use a variety of springs and camshaft to operate.
Common spare parts you can find on a Eureka coffee grinder are microswitches, circuit boards, capacitors and coffee collection
A coffee hopper is basically a storage container for coffee beans which are ready to be ground. For the domestic grinders, such as the Mignon, you have a small square hopper. For the commercial models, such as the Olympus, you have a rounded off hopper. Cleaning tip: use Puly hopper cleaner to get the coffee grease from the in and outside of the grinder.
The coffee grinding burrs used on Eureka coffee grinders vary a bit. They use flat grinding burrs as well as conical models. The flat grinding burrs can mainly be found on the domestic grinders, such as the Mignon models. The conical grinding burrs are a little bit less common, you can find those for instance on the Eureka Olympus coffee grinder.
