Appliance: Miele Coffee Machine Models: CVA 7440, CVA 7445, CVA 7845, CVA 7775, CVA 7875, CM 6360, CM 6560

What This Means

The coffee tastes weak and/or the grounds in the waste container are sludgy and grainy. Less coffee is being brewed because insufficient beans are reaching the grinder.

🔍 Possible Causes & Solutions

Possible CauseHow to Fix
Dark roast beans are too oily -- oils cling to the bean container walls and hinder flowClean the bean containers more often when using darker, more oily beans.
Very large or different-sized beans are getting wedged/jammed, forming 'bean bridges'Pull the bean containers out slightly and give them a shake. Try a different type of coffee.
