Possible Causes
Oily beans causing grounds to stick in chute, Chute clogged with old coffee, Misaligned chute cover, Broken internal flap or door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the grinder chute.
- Access chute: Open any access doors or remove covers to reach the grinder chute (refer to your manual).
- Clear blockage: Use a small brush or wooden skewer to gently dislodge compacted grounds. Do not use metal tools that could damage plastic parts.
- Clean thoroughly: Brush out the chute and surrounding areas to remove oily buildup.
- Use drier beans: Avoid very oily dark roasts that tend to clog chutes.
- Test brew: Run a grind & brew cycle and confirm that grounds now drop into the filter basket.
