  If your ECM Coffee Maker is switched on but not working, check the orange control lamp. If it's off, there may not be enough water in the water tank; refill it. If the lamp is still off after refilling, switch the machine off and on again and 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 lower part). Also, ensure the water tank is properly fixed. If using a direct water connection, make sure the switch is in position “1”.

Why is there little or no crema on my ECM Technika IV?

  Jonathan HillAug 17, 2025
  If your ECM Coffee Maker produces coffee with little or no crema, it could be due to several reasons. The grind might not be fine enough; try using a finer grind and tamping the coffee more firmly, also consider reducing the brewing pressure. It's also possible that the coffee is too old, so use fresh coffee. High chlorine content in your water can also affect crema, so consider using a chlorine filter.

Why is my ECM Coffee Maker dispensing coffee drop by drop?

  Elizabeth JonesAug 28, 2025
  If your ECM Coffee Maker is dispensing coffee sparsely, only drop by drop, it could be because the grind is too fine. Try increasing the grind and only slightly tamping the ground coffee. Increasing the brewing pressure may also help. It's also possible that there is too much ground coffee; use approximately 7 g of coffee for every cup.

  If your ECM Coffee Maker is producing foam instead of crema, the 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 accordingly. Changing the grind may be necessary when changing coffee beans.
