Introduction

Note: the pictures are from the almost identical Melitta Caffeo. The only major difference is that the thermoblock is installed rotated by 90 °.

What you need

Step 1

              Opening the Siemens Surpresso Compact
  • Unplug your coffee maker!
  • Remove the water container, the brew group and the drip tray with pomace container.
  • Using a spoon, remove as much of the coffee beans as possible from the coffee bean container.
  • Depending on the model, additional sensors with cables may be installed on the top and side panels. You have to remove these before you can completely remove the housing parts.
