Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there coffee grounds in my cup from my Lavazza machine?

Grounds in the cup almost always mean a damaged or misaligned brew basket or filter. A Lavazza grinder that stops usually has beans jammed in the burrs, an empty-hopper sensor triggered, or worn burrs. Empty and brush the hopper, run a few dry beans through, and never force the motor. Detailed steps in our Coffee Grounds In Cup guide.

My Lavazza Lavazza Smeg puts grounds in the cup — how to fix?

When the grinder on a Lavazza stalls, the first suspects are jammed beans and the hopper sensor. Clear the burrs with a brush, refill the hopper, and run a short grind. If it still stops, the burrs or drive gear may be worn — see our Coffee Grounds In Cup guide.

Is it safe to drink coffee with grounds from a Lavazza machine?

A silent Lavazza grinder is most often a jam or a tripped safety switch. Unplug, remove the hopper, brush the burrs clean, and try again with a small amount of beans. Persistent failure points to the gear or motor — repair steps in our Coffee Grounds In Cup guide.
