What ADD GROUND COFFEE means

On JennAir RISE and NOIR built-in coffee systems such as the JJB6424, ADD GROUND COFFEE appears when the ground coffee function has been selected but no ground coffee was placed in the funnel. The machine is waiting for you to load it. Slide the coffee system out, add ground coffee with the funnel, and use only the scoop provided. The message is a prompt rather than a breakdown.

Common causes of ADD GROUND COFFEE

  • The ground coffee option was chosen with an empty funnel
  • Ground coffee was never added after selecting the function
  • The ground coffee function was selected by mistake
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Slide the coffee system out of its housing. 2. Using the funnel, add ground coffee. Use only the scoop provided and no more than one scoop. 3. Slide the system back in. 4. Start the drink again. 5. If you do not want ground coffee, cancel and select a bean drink instead.

! Why to stop there
  • The message is a prompt, and a service visit would not change anything.
  • More than one scoop can clog the system.
  • Ground coffee should only go in when that option is selected.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

ADD GROUND COFFEEADD GROUND COFFEE questions
How much ground coffee should I add?

Use only the scoop provided, and no more than one scoop. Too much can clog the brewing path and make the next drink fail. Do not exceed it.

Can I put ground coffee in whenever I like?

No. Do not use ground coffee unless the ground coffee option is selected. Otherwise the machine is not expecting it and may not brew correctly.

What if the message stays after I add coffee?

Slide the system fully back in and select the drink again. If it still shows ADD GROUND COFFEE, call us for an inspection and a written price.
