Restore correct waste detection and brewing operation with this DeLonghi Primadonna Elite dregs drawer (coffee grounds waste container / waste bin) designed for ECAM650.85.MS and ECAM650.75.MS espresso machines.
This replacement waste container is commonly required when the original drawer becomes worn, cracked, or has a broken locking tab or guide causing tray detection failure and “insert dregs drawer” errors.
🔧 Product Overview
The waste coffee grounds container (also known as dregs drawer or waste bin) is a precision-fit internal component in DeLonghi Primadonna Elite machines.
It:
- Collects used coffee pucks and waste grounds
- Activates internal tray detection sensor system
- Ensures machine operates only when correctly inserted
When damaged or misaligned:
- Machine stops brewing
- “Insert dregs drawer” message appears
- Waste bin is not detected even when installed
Replacing the full assembly restores correct operation and sensor recognition.
