Problem
The coffee is weaker than
expected.
Water leaks from the
coffee machine.
I cannot open the lid.
It takes longer than before
to brew filter coffee.
There is still water left in
the water tank after
brewing filter coffee.
I do not get a small cup of
stronger coffee after
double pressing the-cup
button.
Possible cause
There was some water in the
insulated jug when you started
brewing filter coffee.
You have not used enough
pre-ground coffee.
You overfilled the water
reservoir.
The sieve in the center of the
pod holder may be clogged.
The sealing ring is stuck under
the edge of the distribution
disk in the lid.
You forgot to place the
collector ring.
A vacuum has formed under
the lid.
You have to descale the
machine.
You left a pod holder in the
machine.
This is normal.
You have double pressed the
button too fast or you have
waited longer than 3 seconds
after pressing the button for
the first time.
Solution
Always make sure that there is no
water in the jug when you start brewing
coffee.
Use one heaped measuring spoon of
pre-ground coffee per cup for stronger
coffee.
Do not fill the water reservoir beyond
the MAX level.
Check the pod holder. If the sieve is
clogged, use a washing-up brush to
unclog the sieve. If you cannot clean it
properly with the washing-up brush,
put the pod holder in the machine and
descale the machine (see 'Descaling
the machine').
Check if the sealing ring is stuck under
the edge of the distribution disk. If it is,
pull it out from under the distribution
disk carefully.
If you forget to place the collector ring,
water comes out of the lid of the
machine instead of passing through the
pod.
Switch off the coffee machine. Pull up
the lever and wait 24 hours before you
open the lid. You may need to use
some force.
Always make sure the pod holders are
clean and the center of the sieve is not
clogged to prevent a vacuum.
Follow the instructions to descale the
machine (see 'Descaling the machine').
Remove the pod holder.
The filter coffee brewing process does
not use up all the water in the water
tank. This is normal.
You can get a stronger coffee if you
double press the cup button within 3
seconds. The light in the button shines
less bright when the selection of
stronger coffee is successful.
