The machine understant that there is not any beans in the container by the mesuring how easily the grinder motor rotates. If there is not any beans in the grinder motor rotates freely. In your case means that the beans from container are blocked to enter down to the grinders disk plates or they partialt enter, so the motor runs more freely and machine understant that there ae not enough beens. So you need to remove the beans and container and by the use of a vaccum cleaner remove all remainings from the grinders entrance and funel. You can also use a brush to remove any coffe oils and remianing so the bean can easily slide inside the grinder.

After a tons of browsing and debugging finally I got the real solution to my similar problem with a Saeco Minuto HD8763 coffee machine: the root cause was a bad hall sensor and a weak magnet at the grinder toothwheel (the left magnet whcih was removed from it's original place). The upper one was okay and down under there is the replacement magnet which I made from a piece of HDD neodymium magnet and glued to fix it.
The original hall sensor was marked as "210k 3491" ("HAL506K" based on some other service manuals) and the new one was a cheap non-smd but same size, unipolar "TLE4905" type.

Saying fill coffee beans but is already full

Does it give this message from the moment that it starts grinding? or does it already give this message from before you can press anything?

In the first case: vacuum the compartment out, check the grinding mill by turning the grinding size up and down until it goes a little more smooth and fill it up again.

In the last case: Check if there are any switches in the compartment where you fill the beans. Check if there is no dirt/dust underneath or around the contact and if so, clean it up. Refill the machine and try again..

I just bought a Impressa F8,i have put water & coffee beans in it & when I try to make a coffee, it tells me to fill the bean container. it's full. Thanks in advance.

Hi Wayne, check that the bean container is correctly in position so that the device can detect that the container is full. Check your manual how to fit it. Worst case, the sensor that is meant to detect this has a fault, then you will have to return it. Hope this helps.

Why Coffee Machine keeps saying 'fill coffee beans' ?

Unplug it to disconnect the electrical power.
Reconnect it.
Look for a "sensor" that determines when the hopper is filled -- is that "gummed-up" or "jammed" ?

Problem I had is kept asking me to fill the bean container when is already full? keep finding unused grounds that have fallen behind the grounds tray.

Try to power cycle the unit to clear the bean warning, unplug it and let it set ten minuts to clear the memory. As far as the grounds, make sure your not overfilling the unit and all the bean cup and grounds trays are inserted correctly. you might have to tip it and clean any trapped grounds out of the tray area to make sure the tray seats correctly.

Grinding makes a lot of scratch noise and coffee wouldn't drip. The machine says to fill the beans but container is full.

Likely a foreign object is blocking up the grinder. Remove all beans and run at coarsest grind to try to clear it, chase it through with more beans if necessary. If this does not clear it then the top burr of the grinder assembly can be removed after disassembling the machine. Mark the grinder coarseness cogs before moving them to assist reassembly. Moderately difficult procedure.
