Possible cause and remedy
The cup has not been pre-heated.
The smaller the cup and the thicker its walls, the
more important it is to pre-heat it.
 Pre-heat the cup, for example, with hot water.
The brewing temperature has been set too low.
 Set a higher brewing temperature (see "Brewing
temperature").
The filters in the brew unit are blocked.
 Remove and clean the brew unit by hand (see
"Cleaning and care – Brew unit").
 Degrease the brew unit (see "Cleaning and care -
Brew unit").
The coffee machine needs descaling.
 Descale the coffee machine (see "Descaling").
Coffee deposits in the central spout are obstructing
dispensing.
 Dismantle the central spout and clean the compo‐
nents – with the exception of the stainless steel
cover – in the dishwasher (see "Cleaning and care
– Central spout").
The central spout should be cleaned once a
week.
The coffee bean container has become empty during
the grinding process.
 Fill the container with fresh beans.
There may be stones in amongst the coffee beans.
 Switch the coffee machine off immediately. Call
Miele.
