Built-in grinder runs but no ground coffee reaches the brew basket.

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before accessing the grinder or chute. Never insert fingers into the grinder.

• Empty hopper: Remove beans from the hopper to prevent more from feeding while you clear the chute.
• Access chute: If your model allows, remove the chute cover or upper burr to expose the path to the brew basket.
• Clear blockage: Use a small brush or wooden skewer to gently break up and remove compacted grounds from the chute.
• Avoid oily beans: Switch to a less oily roast, as very oily beans can cause clogs.
• Test with small batch: Reassemble and test with a small amount of beans to confirm grounds now fall into the basket.
