  If the cleaning and stand-by symbols are flashing alternately on your Melitta Coffee Maker, it typically means that the brewing unit is either missing or not properly inserted. Ensure that the brewing unit is correctly placed inside the appliance. Another possible cause is that the brewing chamber is overfilled. To resolve this, turn the appliance off and then on again using the ON/OFF button. Repeat this if necessary until the standby mode is displayed.

  If your Melitta Coffee Maker's grinder does not grind the coffee beans, it could be because the beans are not dropping into the grinder, possibly due to them being too oily. Try tapping lightly on the bean container to help them drop.

  If your Melitta Coffee Maker only drips coffee, the grinding fineness might be too fine. Adjust the grinding fineness to a coarser setting. Additionally, ensure that you clean the brewing unit. If the issue persists, run the integrated descaling and cleaning programs.

  If coffee does not flow in your Melitta Coffee Maker, first, ensure that the water tank is filled and correctly inserted. If necessary, open the milk shower until water flows out of the appliance and then close it again. Another cause might be an obstructed brewing unit, so try cleaning the brewing unit.

Why do the bean symbols flash on my Melitta Caffeo Lattea F300-100 when full?

  If the bean symbols flash on your Melitta Coffee Maker even when the bean container is full, it indicates an insufficient quantity of ground beans in the brewing chamber. Press the button for one-cup dispensing or two-cup dispensing to resolve this issue.

What does it mean when the milk shower symbol is out of sequence on my Melitta Caffeo Lattea F300-100 Coffee Maker?

  Larry RitterSep 3, 2025
  If the symbol for the milk shower is illuminated out of sequence on your Melitta Coffee Maker, it suggests there is air in the lines inside the appliance. Open the valve until the symbol goes out and close the valve again. Then, switch off the appliance, remove the brewing unit, clean it under running water, and reinsert it. Switch the appliance back on and dispense a larger amount of coffee.
