DeLonghi Maestosa Waste Coffee Grounds Container | Dregs Drawer / Waste Bin 5313258011 | EPAM960.75.GLM
Restore correct waste detection and brewing operation with this DeLonghi Maestosa dregs drawer (coffee grounds waste container / waste bin) designed for the premium EPAM960.75.GLM flagship espresso machine.
This high-end replacement part is commonly required when the original waste bin becomes worn, damaged, or has a broken locking tab or alignment guide causing “insert grounds container” errors and machine lockout.
🔧 Product Overview
The waste coffee grounds container (also known as dregs drawer or waste bin) is a precision-engineered component in the DeLonghi Maestosa fully automatic coffee system.
It:
- Collects used coffee pucks and waste grounds
- Activates internal tray detection sensor system
- Ensures machine operates only when correctly inserted
When faulty or misaligned:
- Machine stops brewing
- “Insert grounds container” message appears
- Waste bin is not detected even when physically inserted
Replacing the complete assembly restores correct sensor recognition and machine function.
