Cause and remedy
The cup has not been pre-heated.
The smaller the cup and the thicker its sides, the
more important it is to pre-heat it.
 Pre-heat the cups, e.g. using cup heating.
The brewing temperature has been set too low.
 Set a higher brewing temperature (see "Brewing
temperature").
The filters in the brew unit are blocked.
 Remove and clean the brew unit by hand (see
"Cleaning and care – Brew unit").
 Degrease the brew unit (see "Cleaning and care –
Brew unit").
The coffee machine needs descaling.
 Descale the coffee machine.
The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth can
only be achieved when cold milk (below 10°C) is
used.
 Check the temperature of the milk in the milk flask.
The milk pipework is blocked.
 Clean the central spout with integrated
cappuccinatore and the milk pipework with the
cleaning brush supplied.
The coffee bean container has become empty during
the grinding process.
