'Fill the bean container' appears repeatedly during dispensing

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

⚠ What This Means

Coffee dispensing is repeatedly interrupted and the message 'Fill the bean container' appears even though beans are present. This is not a fault. The brew unit has not detected the ground coffee. Certain types of coffee produce a small amount of grounds when ground, particularly when the grinder is set to fine and the minimum quantity of coffee is selected.

🔧 How to Fix

  1. Confirm the message with OK.
  2. If the message appears with ALL types of coffee: set the grinder to a coarser setting; select a larger quantity of coffee; check any drinks changed in Profiles/User profiles.
  3. If the message only appears with CERTAIN drinks: check the quantity of coffee set for that drink and select a larger amount. You may also need a coarser grinder setting.
