What Please clean brewing unit
actually means.
The brewing unit compacts the grounds and forces water through them; coffee oils and fine grounds build up on it over time. When the mechanism starts to drag, the machine asks for a rinse, and it may also ask after more than two scoops of preground coffee were loaded at once.

What to do when Please clean brewing unit shows on the coffee machineKind of codeBrew unit
The brew unit did not reach the position the control expected, or could not press and brew as it should: it is caked with old grounds, dry where it needs its grease, jammed by a dose too large, or its drive and seals are worn. On a machine with a removable unit, lifting it out with the power off and rinsing it is the owner's check; a fixed unit is cleaned by its own cycle, and anything past that is a visit.
