      If the coffee from your Saeco Coffee Maker is watery or has too little crema, it could be due to the grinder being set too coarse. Adjust the grinder to a finer setting. Alternatively, the coffee blend you are using might not be suitable, so try changing the coffee blend.

    Why does the drip tray fill up so quickly in my Saeco Coffee Maker?
    • L
      Lisa ArmstrongSep 22, 2025
      It is normal for the drip tray to fill up quickly in your Saeco Coffee Maker. The machine uses water to rinse the internal circuit and brew group, and some of this water flows directly into the drip tray. You can place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water.
