Quick answer

E01 on a Thermador coffee machine commonly relates to a heating, flow or limescale-related problem.

Model compatibility: Thermador reuses codes across series and model years, so E01 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
