Spidem Trevi Automatic Coffee Machine

Question

Hi, I have had this machine for approx 6 years. I have noticed that the coffee being grinded and dumped is not compacted and ground into like a tablet form in the dump tray any more, which means that I'm not getting all that I can out of the coffee beans. Is this a grinder problem or maybe is the machine on its way out? Your assistance would be appreciated. Other than this problem machine runs well. Regards, Tonia
