What it means
The Saeco GranAroma user manual (SM6585, SM6582, SM6580 and SM6480) lists 01 among the codes you can solve yourself: the coffee funnel is clogged. This is the chute that carries the pre-ground coffee you pour into its compartment, next to the bean hopper. When powder packs inside it, the machine cannot brew, and the manual asks you to clear it by hand with the brew group removed. Other Saeco models may use different codes. The code on its own never proves that any part is faulty.
