Possible Causes

Dreg drawer full or not seated, Brew group not completing cycle, Faulty dreg drawer microswitch, Jammed coffee puck chute

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before reaching into the dreg drawer area.

  • Empty and clean the dreg drawer: Remove the used coffee container and wash it. Dry thoroughly and reinsert it fully until it clicks.
  • Clean the puck chute: Inspect the path where used coffee falls into the drawer. Remove any compacted grounds with a brush or wooden stick.
  • Check drawer seating: Ensure no foreign objects prevent the drawer from closing completely. The drawer must press a small switch to signal its presence.
  • Reset the machine: After cleaning, power the machine back on and allow it to complete a startup cycle.

If E09 continues, the dreg drawer sensor or brew group drive may be malfunctioning and should be tested and possibly replaced.
