3. Little coffee is coming out
• Grind coarser
• Decrease the dose – recommended maximum is 21g
• Press the levers down with more force
• Not filling the basket properly – always fill up to 5-8mm below the rim
4. Pressure gauge registers very little pressure
• Push the levers down with more force if that makes no change to the
gauge…
• Coffee is ground too coarse (this would also show up with a very “fast”
shot)
• Check for leaks in the hydraulic circuit, you would see water drops or
hear air hissing from somewhere along the tube
• It is unlikely but possible the gauge is broken. Use the Robot with the
piston plug installed and contact Cafelat
5. Pressure gauge does not work “there must be a leak somewhere”
• Unless water is actually leaking everywhere please refer to section 4
• If water is actually leaking please contact Cafelat
• You create the pressure with the levers, if the coffee is ground too
coarse or is stale, the coffee will offer little resistance and you will not be
able to build up pressure
6. Dispersion screen is dented or damaged
• A dented or slightly bent screen will still function perfectly
• Lower the dose
• Screen was not installed correctly
• The multiple pump technique was used – this will cause the screen to
move and will result in it smashing into the piston
• Use the paper filters instead of the metal screen
7. Coffee seems to be “cold”
• Use water from the kettle straight from boiling
• Try a dummy shot first to pre-heat the components
• If using the Pro Basket use as a BPF
8. Coffee using the Pressurised Basket is very frothy
• Must be used with the spouts installed for it to work
