With machine equipped with a thermal jug (h), the
coffee temperature is too low.
• Warm the thermal jug (h) by rinsing with hot
water just before brewing.
• Remove the thermal jug from the machine
after brewing is complete.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The filter holder (c) overflows or the
coffee drips too slowly.
• Excessive amount of coffee. We recommend that
you use one measuring spoon or one tablespoon
of coffee ground per cup.
• Coffee ground too fine (unsuitable for an
automatic coffee maker).
• The jug (h) is not correctly positioned on the hot
plate (g).
• The jug (h) was removed for more than
20 seconds during brewing and was not correctly
put back on the hot plate (g).
• Some coffee grounds have seeped in between
the paper filter and the filter holder (c).
• The paper filter is not open or is incorrectly
positioned.
• Rinse out the filter holder (c) before putting in the
paper filter so that its edges stick to the damp
sides of the filter.
The coffee has a bad taste.
• The coffee maker needs to be cleaned.
• The coffee grounds are not suited to your coffee
maker.
• The proportion of coffee to water is
inadequate. Adjust it to suit your taste.
• The quality and freshness of the coffee are not
optimal.
• Poor-quality water. Use filtered or bottled water.
• Read our Coffee Brewing Guide on page 6.
