Why is my Siemens iQ700 CT636LE 6 Coffee Maker display showing 'Clean brewing unit'?
- M
  Miguel HayesAug 22, 2025
  The 'Clean brewing unit' message on your Siemens Coffee Maker may appear for several reasons: * The brewing unit is soiled. * There is too much ground coffee in the brewing unit. * The mechanism of the brewing unit is stiff. * The water tank is wrongly inserted. * There is carbonated water in the water tank. * The float is stuck in the water tank. * A new water filter was not rinsed according to instructions, or the water filter is used or defective. To resolve this, clean the brewing unit. Avoid placing more than two level measuring spoons of ground coffee in the drawer. Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted and filled with fresh tap water. Rinse the water filter according to the instructions or use a new one. Also, remove the tank and clean it thoroughly.

What to do if my Siemens Coffee Maker display shows “Fill bean container” although the container is already full, or the grinder is not grinding any beans?
- L

  If your Siemens Coffee Maker displays “Fill bean container” even when it's full, or the grinder isn't grinding, it's likely that the beans aren't falling into the grinding unit because they are too oily. Try gently tapping the bean container. You might also need to change the type of coffee you're using. When the bean container is empty, wipe it with a dry cloth.

  If your Siemens Coffee Maker is producing too little milk froth, none at all, or the milk system isn't taking in any milk, here's what you can do: * Descale the appliance. * Clean the beverage outlet and the connections. * Use cold milk with at least 1.5% fat content and that has not already been boiled. * Moisten and reassemble the beverage outlet and milk tubes. * Clean the suction pipe.

What to do if my Siemens Coffee Maker display shows “Empty drip trays” despite them being empty?
- J
  Janet TannerAug 27, 2025
  If your Siemens Coffee Maker shows “Empty drip trays” even when they are empty, it could be because the drip tray is soiled and wet. Clean and dry the drip tray thoroughly. Another reason might be that the emptying wasn't detected when the appliance was switched off. Try removing and re-inserting the drip tray when the appliance is switched on.

Why does my Siemens iQ700 CT636LE 6 Coffee Maker coffee taste burnt?
- C
  Caroline GarciaAug 27, 2025
  If your coffee tastes burnt when using your Siemens Coffee Maker, it could be due to several reasons: * The brewing temperature is too high. Reduce the temperature. * Coffee is ground too finely or preground coffee is too fine. Adjust the grinding level to a coarser setting and use a coarser ground coffee. * Unsuitable type of coffee. Change the type of coffee.

  If your Siemens Coffee Maker is producing coffee that is too acidic, it could be due to: * The grinding level is too coarse or preground coffee is too coarse. Adjust the grinding unit to a finer setting and use a finer ground coffee. * Unsuitable type of coffee. Change the type of coffee.

- K
  kacostaAug 30, 2025
  If your Siemens Coffee Maker is making coffee that's too weak, it might be because: * The coffee strength selected is too weak. Raise the strength of the coffee. * Ground coffee jammed in the coffee drawer. Remove the ground coffee drawer, clean and dry thoroughly.

Why is my Siemens iQ700 CT636LE 6 dispensing drinks slowly or not at all?
- R
  rachael86Sep 2, 2025
  If your Siemens Coffee Maker is dispensing drinks slowly to a trickle or stops completely, and the personally selected volume is not reached, it might be due to: * Coffee ground too finely or preground coffee being too fine. Adjust the grinding level to a coarser setting and use a coarser ground coffee. * Heavy build-up of limescale in the appliance. Descale the appliance according to the instructions. * The brewing unit is soiled. Clean the brewing unit.
