Why is there little or no crema on my Profitec Pro 500?
- J
  Justin JohnsonSep 8, 2025
  Several factors can cause this. The grind might not be fine enough, so try using a finer grind and tamping more firmly. The coffee could be too old; use fresh coffee instead. High chlorine content in your water can also be a factor, so consider using a chlorine filter. Ensure you're using enough coffee, approximately 7-9 grams per cup. Lastly, a dirty shower screen can affect crema, so clean the brew group.

  If your coffee maker is dispensing coffee sparsely, it could be due to a grind that's too fine. Try increasing the grind setting and tamping the ground coffee only slightly. Also, ensure you're not using too much ground coffee; aim for approximately 7-9 grams per cup.

Why is my Profitec Coffee Maker producing coffee with a weak body?
- J
  Joseph CortezSep 12, 2025
  A weak coffee body can result from several issues. The grind may not be fine enough, so try reducing the grind setting. Old coffee can also be the culprit, so use fresh coffee. Ensure you are using approximately 7 g of coffee for each cup. A dirty shower screen can also affect the body, so clean it.

Why is my Profitec Coffee Maker making foam instead of crema?
- E
  Elizabeth AlexanderSep 16, 2025
  If you're getting foam instead of crema, the coffee beans might be unsuitable. Try using a different type of coffee bean. Additionally, the coffee grinder setting might not be appropriate for the beans you're using, so adjust the grinder accordingly.

What to do if coffee is dripping from the portafilter of my Profitec Coffee Maker?
- E
  Eric KeithSep 18, 2025
  If coffee is dripping from the portafilter, ensure it's properly inserted. If the issue persists, the group gasket might be damaged, requiring you to exchange the group gasket and shower screen. Coffee residues blocking the group gasket and shower screen can also cause dripping; clean the brew group carefully with a cloth.
