On the Bertazzoni CM242WTXT built-in coffee machine, "Fill bean container" means the coffee beans have run out. The grinder has nothing to grind, so the machine will not make a coffee until you add more. Owners see the message when the hopper is empty or when beans have stopped feeding from it. Nothing is broken in the usual case. The grinder cannot work with an empty hopper, and nothing on the screen suggests damage.
1. Open the bean container lid and look inside. 2. Add fresh whole beans, and avoid flavored or caramelized ones. 3. Close the lid properly and make a test coffee. 4. If the hopper is full and the message stays, call us.
Plain whole roasted beans are best. Very oily or flavored beans can cling to the hopper and stop feeding, which can cause this same message even when beans are still inside.
Beans may be stuck or bridging above the grinder. Stir them gently with a dry spoon handle. If the message stays after the beans move freely, the machine needs a closer look.
No. Running the grinder with no beans does nothing useful, which is why the machine stops. Fill the hopper first. Fill the hopper first, then start the coffee, so the grinder has beans to work with.
