Why does coffee come out very slowly from my SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 Coffee Maker?
If the coffee is dispensing slowly from your SEVERIN Coffee Maker, it could be due to excessive lime deposits in the system, indicating that descaling is required. Alternatively, check if the espresso function was accidentally activated, as this setting uses only about 50 ml of water. Also, verify the water amount setting is correct.
What to do if my SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 doesn't operate when pressing a button?
If your SEVERIN Coffee Maker doesn't respond when a selector button is pressed, make sure the operating lever is correctly pulled down and the capsule-holder is properly inserted. If these are in place, disconnect the appliance from the mains power for 10 seconds. Also, ensure that the rotary steam control is closed. Note that if all buttons are flashing, consult the ‘Troubleshooting’ section for ‘All buttons are flashing’.
Why does my SEVERIN Coffee Maker produce too little milk froth, or why is the frothing process too slow?
If your SEVERIN Coffee Maker produces too little milk froth or the frothing process is slow, the milk might be too hot, too old, or have too high of a fat content. Use only cold milk with a maximum fat content of 3.5%. Descaling may also be required. Check for dirt accumulation in the frothing nozzle or steam tube.
Why doesn't my SEVERIN Coffee Maker generate steam, or why is no water emitted from the frothing nozzle?
If your SEVERIN Coffee Maker isn't generating steam or emitting water from the frothing nozzle, it might be because pre-heating was not completed. Also, check for dirt accumulation in the frothing nozzle and/or steam tube.
Why does the coffee from my SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 Coffee Maker taste bad – too strong or too weak?
If your SEVERIN Coffee Maker is producing coffee that tastes too strong or too weak, ensure that the correct button is pressed, matching the capsule's color code to the selector button. Remember that each capsule can only be used once. Verify that the water amount setting is correct. If there is air in the system, the unit needs bleeding – see section ‘Bleeding the system’.
What to do if steam and espresso buttons are flashing on my SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 Coffee Maker?
If the steam and espresso buttons are flashing on your SEVERIN Coffee Maker and the unit doesn’t operate, the system may be cooling down from steam-generating temperature to the lower regular brewing temperature, which can take up to 15 minutes. This cool-down period can be reduced to around 30 seconds by releasing steam; see section ‘Generating frothy milk’, releasing steam’.
What does it mean when all buttons are flashing on my SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115?
If all the buttons are flashing on your SEVERIN Coffee Maker before the first use, this is normal and not a malfunction. Proceed as described in the section ‘Start- up.’ If this occurs after initial use, it may indicate a malfunction; try switching the unit off and on again. It might also indicate that the system needs bleeding; see section ‘Bleeding the system’.
What to do if too little or no coffee comes out of my SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 Coffee Maker and the capsule cannot be removed?
If too little or no coffee is dispensed from your SEVERIN Coffee Maker and the capsule is stuck, it's possible the capsule wasn't punctured correctly (though this is rare). The capsule-holder will be blocked temporarily. Wait about 2 minutes, then try removing the capsule again.
