DELONGHI Sieve for Coffee Grounds Container against Mold

Ventilated Sieve Insert for the Grounds Container of DeLonghi Automatic Coffee Machines!

The coffee grounds from our DeLonghi ESAM 3200 constantly collected moist in the corner of the collection container and started to mold after just a few days

Since I couldn't find a suitable model, I designed a suitable sieve insert myself

The insert slightly lifts the coffee grounds and creates a ventilation space underneath

This allows air to get under the grounds, moisture to escape better, and mold formation is significantly reduced or delayed – especially when the container is not emptied daily

The model was developed for printing with PETG. I myself used PETG Basic Black from Bambu Lab because PETG is moisture-resistant, durable, and slightly flexible

This also allows the small support feet to easily withstand normal loads or an accidental fall

A small accessory with a big impact – for more hygiene, less mold, and a cleaner automatic coffee machine ;-)

ATTENTION:

By using the sieve, the storage area in the container increases and the space for collecting the grounds becomes smaller. This can affect the "Coffee grounds container full" warning. This means the container can already be full to the brim, and the indicator may not yet light up. However, in test operation, it worked perfectly, and the container did not overflow, even though the indicator was on.

In our DeLonghi ESAM 3200, the insert fits perfectly. According to my research, it should also be compatible with many other DeLonghi automatic coffee machines (naturally without guarantee)
