Why is my Bosch Coffee Maker not brewing?

  Cynthia LucasAug 16, 2025
  Your Bosch Coffee Maker might not be brewing because of several reasons: * No T DISC inserted: Check that a T DISC has been inserted. * The appliance does not recognise the T DISC bar code: Clean the T DISC reading window with a soft, damp cloth. Smooth out the foil of the T DISC with your finger so that the bar code can be read. Use a new T DISC. * The brewing unit is not closed properly: Clean the brewing unit with a soft, damp cloth, paying particular attention to the lid area. * The appliance was not plugged in when the T DISC was inserted: Insert a new T DISC and check that the appliance is plugged into the power supply before inserting the T DISC.

Place the T DISC with the printed side facing downwards so that the tab is resting in the intended slot. * The brewing unit is not closed properly: Clean the brewing unit with a soft, damp cloth, paying particular attention to the lid area. * Press the lid down until it audibly clicks into place. * Wait until the Status LED S has stopped blinking before attempting to open the brewing unit.
