Gaggenau coffee machine display What to do when Fill coffee beans 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.

Tap the bean container gently so the beans fall toward the grinder. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Do I need to change my favorite dark roast for the Gaggenau? If it leaves an oily sheen, it is likely to keep causing this screen. A slightly lighter or drier roast of the same origin often works. ### Does the newer Gaggenau handle oily beans better? The Expressive series lists the same oily-bean cause for a grinder that takes no beans, so the advice carries over. ### My Gaggenau grinder is noisy but still shows Fill coffee beans. Why? A running grinder with nothing coming through can be a bridge of beans or a blockage in the chute. If tapping and cleaning do not help, the chute needs a technician. --- **[Read on the site: Gaggenau CMP 250: Fill coffee beans with a full container](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/gaggenau-fill-coffee-beans/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
