Restore correct waste container detection and brewing performance with this genuine-style DeLonghi Magnifica S / Cappuccino black dregs drawer (waste coffee grounds container) designed for selected automatic espresso coffee machines.
This replacement grounds container is commonly required when the original drawer develops a broken latch, shaft, guide, or alignment issue causing tray detection errors and brewing lockout problems.
✔ Front fascia panel included.
🔧 Product Overview
The dregs drawer (waste coffee grounds container) is an important removable component inside DeLonghi automatic coffee machines.
It:
- Collects used coffee grounds and pucks
- Activates the machine’s internal tray detection sensor
- Allows the machine to operate normally when correctly inserted
If the drawer becomes damaged or misaligned:
- The machine may stop brewing
- Waste container errors may appear
- Sensor detection may fail completely
Replacing the complete dregs drawer assembly restores proper operation and sensor alignment.
