  If your ECM Coffee Maker produces coffee with little to no crema, it could be due to several reasons. The grinding degree might not be fine enough, so try using a finer grind and tamping the coffee more firmly. The coffee mixture might be too old; use fresh coffee instead. Too much chlorine in the water can also affect crema, so consider using a chlorine filter. Ensure you are using enough ground coffee, approximately 7g per cup. Lastly, a dirty net filter can hinder crema formation, so clean the brewing group.

  If your ECM Coffee Maker dispenses coffee sparsely, only drop by drop, it could be because the grinding is too fine. Try increasing the grinding degree and tamping the ground coffee only slightly. Also, ensure you are not using too much ground coffee; use approximately 7 g of coffee for every cup.

  If your ECM Coffee Maker produces foam instead of crema, it could be due to an improper coffee mixture. Try using another coffee mixture. Also, the grinding degree of your coffee grinder might not be suited for the coffee mixture you are using. Adjust the coffee grinder accordingly; when changing the coffee mixture, changing the grinding degree can also be necessary.

  If your ECM Coffee Maker produces a weak “body”, it could be due to several factors. The grinding degree might not be fine enough; try reducing the grinding degree. The coffee might be old, so use fresh coffee. Ensure you are using enough ground coffee, approximately 7 g of coffee for each cup. Lastly, a dirty net filter can result in a weak body, so clean the net filter.
