Problem
The coffee is watery.
The coffee is not hot
enough.
Coffee does not come out
or coffee comes out
slowly.
Cause
The brew group is dirty or needs
to be lubricated.
The machine is performing its self-
adjustment procedure. This
procedure is started automatically
when you use the machine for the
first time, when you change to
another type of coffee beans or
after a long period of non-use.
The grinder is set to a too coarse
setting.
The temperature is set too low.
A cold cup reduces the
temperature of the drink.
Adding milk reduces the
temperature of the drink.
The AquaClean water filter was
not prepared properly for
installation.
The AquaClean water filter is
clogged.
The grinder is set to a too fine
setting.
The brew group is dirty.
The coffee dispensing spout is
dirty.
Solution
Remove the brew group (see 'Removing
the brew group from the machine'), rinse
it under the tap and leave it to dry. Then
lubricate the moving parts (see
'Lubricating the brew group').
Brew 5 cups of coffee initially to allow the
machine to complete its self-adjustment
procedure.
Set the grinder to a finer (lower) setting.
Brew 2 to 3 drinks to be able to before
taste the full difference.
Set the temperature to the maximum (see
'Adjusting the coffee temperature').
Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot
water.
Regardless of whether you add hot or cold
milk, adding milk always reduces the
temperature of the coffee. Preheat the
cups by rinsing them with hot water.
Remove the AquaClean water filter and
try to brew a coffee again. If this works,
make sure that you have prepared the
AquaClean water filter properly before
you place it back. See chapter 'AquaClean
water filter' for step-by-step instructions.
After a long period of non-use, you need
to prepare the AquaClean water filter for
use again and then place it back. See step
1 - 3 of chapter 'Activating the AquaClean
water filter'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter every 3
months. A filter that is older than 3
months can become clogged.
Set the grinder to a coarser (higher)
setting. Note that this will impact the
coffee taste.
Remove the brew group and rinse it under
the tap (see 'Cleaning the brew group
under the tap').
Clean the coffee dispensing spout and its
holes with a pipe cleaner or needle.
