The brew unit can only compress so much coffee. A strong taste setting on a long drink, or a double scoop of pre-ground coffee, overfills it, and the machine stops and asks for a smaller dose. Fulgor Milano coffee machine display What to do when LESS COFFEE shows on the coffee machine ### Kind of code Grinder and beans The grinder ran and too little came through, or it did not run at all: the hopper is empty, an oily or flavored bean is bridging over the burrs, a small stone or a clump has jammed them, or the burrs themselves are worn so the grind has turned coarse. Topping up with dry, plain beans and letting the machine try again clears most of it; a grinder that clicks, hums or stays silent with a full hopper needs its burrs and motor checked. ### Usually leads to Coffee machine grinder repair Clearing and renewing the burr grinder: jammed beans, a stone between the burrs, worn burrs, and the motor and gearbox that turn them. ### Shows up as What a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking. ### Make Fulgor Milano A Fulgor Milano built-in coffee system gets an in-home visit that begins with the tank, the beans and the grounds container before the machine itself is opened. ### Source Fulgor Milano F7BC24B1 built-in coffee machine installation and use manual (US, 120 V) Fulgor Milano 24-inch built-in coffee machine F7BC24B1, sold in the US alone as the 24-inch Sofia unit and as the base unit behind the 30-inch Sofia, Distinto (F7DTK30BC) and Matteo (F7MTK30BC) trim kits; the 24-inch Distinto F7BC24S1 shares its specification.

Pick a milder taste on the taste icon and make the drink again. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Fulgor Milano say LESS COFFEE on extra-strong? Extra-strong grinds the largest dose, and some bean and cup-size mixes go past what the chamber can hold. Drop one taste level and it usually brews. ### Can LESS COFFEE on a Fulgor Milano come from pre-ground coffee? Yes, it is the usual cause. Two scoops in the funnel overfill the chamber, so use one level measure per drink. ### Is LESS COFFEE on a Fulgor Milano a sign the grinder is broken? No. It shows the grinder delivered plenty; the problem is too much coffee for one brew, not too little. --- **[Read on the site: Fulgor Milano LESS COFFEE: too much coffee for the brew chamber](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/fulgor-milano-less-coffee/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
