What LESS COFFEE
actually means.

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.

What to do when LESS COFFEE shows on the coffee machine

Kind of codeGrinder 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 toCoffee 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 asWhat 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.

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fulgor Milano's own guidance for LESS COFFEE on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Pick a milder taste on the taste icon and make the drink again.

02

With pre-ground coffee, use a single level measure.

03

If LESS COFFEE shows on mild settings with beans, book a visit so the dosing and brew unit can be checked.

Still there?

It usually turns into coffee machine grinder repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

It is not the same as weak coffee; the machine is protecting the brew unit from an overfull chamber. Nor is the bean hopper empty, which shows FILL BEAN CONTAINER instead.

Questions
about LESS COFFEE.

Can I clear LESS COFFEE myself?
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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing LESS COFFEE?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
