The machine is grinding a full amount of beans, but only a few drips of coffee are coming out.

SOURCE: Coffeee beans won't feed into grinder

Push the coffe brew button again. It should take right off and grind again.

the grinder is most likely stripped and needs to be replaced:-{

SOURCE: Bean hopper is full, grinder is grinding...but NO COFFEE!

Sometimes the chamber between the grinder and brewer will clog up. Try: Open the grind all the way up to the highest number. Push the grind button and while grinding move the dose knob (the one with the + - sign toward minus. If it does not kick in and dose try it again. If it does take off then leave it on the high number for 3 coffees. Then while the grinder is turning move the two knobs back to whre they were. If this does not work you can reomve the brew unit and right above where it sits in the machine there is a trap door that you can open. Open it and shove someting like a straw up toward the grinder and you should get a bunch of grounds droppiing down. Then try the above procedure a couple more times. If this does not work you may need to google "Saeco repair" and send it to an authorized repair center.

SOURCE: machine will not grind beans.

That error message will also appear if the coffee grind is too fine.
