Melitta No Coffee Dose / Grinder Feeding Issue

Grinder runs but no beans are ground; cups are filled with hot water only.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Empty bean hopper, Beans stuck above grinder inlet, Broken grinder drive coupling, Grinder chute blocked with coffee oils

Safety first: Unplug the machine before reaching into the bean hopper.

Steps:

Check beans: Ensure the hopper is filled and that beans can freely fall into the grinder opening.
Stir beans: Gently stir beans with a dry spoon to break any bridge formation.
Clean chute: If accessible, remove the upper burr and clean the chute from grinder to brew group with a brush.

If the grinder motor runs but the burrs do not turn, the drive coupling or gears may be broken and the grinder assembly should be replaced.
