With the machine switched on, pull out the drip tray and empty the coffee grounds container. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### I emptied the grounds on my Jura but the message came back. Why? It was probably emptied with the machine off. Jura's counter resets only when the container is emptied with the power on. ### How often should I empty the grounds on my Jura? Jura lists it as a daily step, together with emptying and rinsing the drip tray in warm water. ### Why is there loose coffee behind the Jura grounds container? Jura says some beans produce above-average grounds. Try a lower coffee strength or a finer grind. --- **[Read on the site: Jura Empty grounds: the container count is reached](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/jura-empty-grounds/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
