What to do if my ECM Mechanika V Slim Coffee Maker is dispensing coffee sparsely, only drop by drop?
Sparse coffee dispensing, only drop by drop, can occur if the grind is too fine; try using a coarser grind and tamp ground coffee only slightly and increase the brewing-pressure. Also, ensure you are not using too much ground coffee; use approximately 8-10 g of coffee for every cup.
What to do if my ECM Coffee Maker machine is switched on, but the machine does not work?
If your machine is on but not working, check the orange control lamp. If it's off, there might not be enough water in the tank; refill it. If the lamp remains off after refilling, try switching the machine off and on again. Ensure the floater in the water tank is correctly positioned (the side with the magnet point must face inside, with the magnet point on the upper part). Also, make sure the water tank is properly fixed.
Why is my ECM Coffee Maker's portafilter/brew group dripping?
If the portafilter or brew group is dripping, ensure the portafilter is properly fixed. If dripping persists, the group gasket might be broken, requiring you to change the group gasket and shower screen.
Why is there little or no crema on my ECM Mechanika V Slim?
The lack of crema could stem from several factors. The grind might not be fine enough, in which case you should use a finer grind and tamp the ground coffee more firmly and reduce the brewing pressure. Old coffee could also be the culprit, so ensure you're using fresh coffee. Additionally, excessive chlorine in the water can hinder crema formation, so consider using a chlorine filter. Insufficient ground coffee (use approx. 8-10 g of coffee for each cup) or a dirty shower screen may also contribute. Cleaning the brew group might help.
Why does the coffee from my ECM Coffee Maker have a weak body?
A weak coffee body can result from a grind that isn't fine enough (use a finer grind), old coffee (use fresh coffee), or not enough ground coffee (use approximately 8-10 g for each cup). A dirty shower screen can also contribute; clean the shower screen.
Why is my ECM Mechanika V Slim producing foam instead of crema?
If you're getting foam instead of crema, the coffee beans may be improper; try using another coffee bean. Also, the coffee grinder setting might not be suited for the coffee beans you're using; adjust the coffee grinder, as changing the grind can be necessary when changing the coffee beans.
