Introduction
If the coffee becomes thin, the grindstones may have become blunt. The beans are then only crushed and not cut, making the coffee less aromatic and thin. This can already happen after about 10000 cups. In DeLonghi machines, unfortunately, the entire grinder must be replaced, since the grindstones are not available as spare parts. A hint on how to replace the grindstones is given in this guide: DeLonghi Coffee Maker grindstones replacement

Thanks , just needed to replace grinder in magnifica S ECAM 22.110.SB.
Different machine but very similar.
In all that you have shown above; it all helped thanks but also made me look
more at the individual parts and how its put together.
What I needed as the machine is 8 years old so I'll either be replacing a lot of parts or
buying a new machine.
Thank you very much. That was very helpful. At least you knew what you were talking about. Other YouTubers talking about cleaning or replacing the “The grinder” just explained how to carry out a normal clean of the brew group.
Screwdriver must have a hole? What does that mean? Is it a standard Tx20 bit?

No, it is a TR20 Security Bit, which really has a hole (if you look to the star shape) . See TR10 Torx Security Screwdriver

Bits from iFixit are equipped with it.
