Problem Possible cause and remedy
The crema on the
coffee or espresso is
not as it should be.
The grinder setting is not correct.
Set the grinder to a finer or coarser setting.
The brewing temperature is too high for this type of
coffee.
Set a lower brewing temperature.
The coffee beans are no longer fresh.
Add fresh coffee beans to the coffee bean
container.
The coffee tastes weak.
The coffee grounds in
the waste container are
sludgy and grainy.
Insufficient coffee beans are getting into the grinder
and less ground coffee is being brewed. If you have
used a dark roast, this type of coffee bean is often
more oily. These oils can cling to the inside of the
coffee bean container and hinder the flow of beans.
Make a coffee and observe whether the coffee
beans drop into the coffee bean container.
Clean the coffee bean container more often if you
are using a darker, more oily bean.
Try other types of coffee bean which are less oily.
