TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Cold Brew Coffee Maker should 

fail to operate as expected, please 

check the following:

-  If coffee is too bold: Grind your coffee  

at a coarser grind level, and/or steep  

for less time. The Cold Brew Coffee 

Maker produces a coffee concentrate.  

To serve at the proper strength, dilute 

your coffee concentrate with water or  

any dairy/dairy-free milk of your choice.

-  If coffee is too weak: Either grind your 

beans to a finer consistency, or brew for 

more time. Cold Brew coffee uses more 

coffee to brew than other methods. 

Make certain you use 250 grams of 

coffee to brew.

-  If coffee tastes bitter or unpleasant after 

use: Taste can be impacted if the Cold 

Brew Coffee Maker isn’t thoroughly 

cleaned. Make certain that all soap, 

grounds, and oily residue is thoroughly 

rinsed off of all parts after each use. See  

the “Care and cleaning” section for  

more information.

If the problem is not due to one of  

the above items, see the “Customer 

service” chapter in the “Warranty  

and service” section.
Do not return the Cold Brew Coffee  

Maker to the retailer, as they do not 

provide service.
