SYMPTOM

'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.
