Saeco Vienna SuperAutomatica Coffee Maker/Espresso Machine Questions & Answers
Saeco Vienna superautomatica won't dump grounds puck into dump box
This needs looking at by a Saeco repair shop - the brew unit travels in a distinct 'pathway' from being empty, to filled, to coffee being tamped, then to being emptied. Yours is obviously not working as intended.
It may be the brew unit needs lubricating ( NOT OIL) or it may be the gear system that drives the brew units movements that needs attention.
Cheers
Mike.
Saeco vienna saying brewunit blocked !
Hi
There is a test mode for the Digital and we can see if you have a bad power board.
Turn the machine off in back. Push and hold the small coffee button and the menu button (top left) at the same time and while you are holding the buttons turn the machine on. Release the buttons and you should have numbers in the display. If you can push the bottom left button and the machine makes a sound like the motor is moving, turn it off and then back on. If you don't get the message now you should really clean and lube your brew unit.
"Fill water tank" prompt
Hi,
Make sure the magnet in the water tank flow up when you fill it with water.

I have turned the grind knob all the way down, below 1.
Sounds like there is not enough coffee to make a solid puck. If you get crema, grind coarseness sounds ok. A finer grind will produce less coffee grounds for the puck and increases chance of clogging.
You may have to balance grind size with amount of crema to get solid puck.
Big problem with these is you want dark roast for espresso, but oil on beans clogs grinder. Are you using a dark roast? A medium roast works better in these. Or, can you increase the grind time? My Super-auto had a program option to increase time. But not in reg instructions. Got it from authorized repair facility.
How do I reset the machine
You need to "fool" the machine that the waste container, the brew group and the front panel are in the correct position. You do this by inserting something thin, for example a plastic knife into each slot inside the machine. You will need three plastic knives. Make sure that the machine is on then put one in each of the slots at the same time. The machine will then begin its self test procedure and return to the starting position.
Saeco Vienna gear jammed
This has happened to me. If the problem is the brew group gear is in the wrong position, you can manipulate the brew group until it matches up with the drive gear in the machine. You'll know it matches if you can insert the brew group back in the machine full until it clicks.
Why does it brew weak coffee?
can depends many factors, try to grind finer coffe powder and warm well the machine before starting to brew coffee. If the grinder does not make finer coffe powder then you must contact the service, check if blades are in place before calling them...
Hi,
My machine starts the process
Sounds like the grind is too fine. If its (the big knob) below 8 in the bean hopper, turn it to 16. You can turn the knob to a larger # anytime but you have to be grinding to turn to a smaller #. Make 3 coffee but push the button when it starts to brew to stop the brewing until you get to the third coffee and just let this one brew. If it brew correctly then turn the knob down to a # a couple higher than you had before.
