Introduction

These instructions may also help with other Melitta models and with coffee makers from Nivona, Siemens, and Miele—they have a very similar design.

After a few 1000 cups, you need to check the grinder. It may be dirty, or the grinding stones may be blunt. With these machines, the ground coffee may no longer fall easily into the brewing unit. The machine will then abort the brewing process because there is not enough coffee in the brewing unit. Then it's time to clean the grinder, clear the channels or replace the grindstones.

To access the grinder, you must open the machine and remove the bean compartment and the powder chute.
