Coffee is weak or watery despite normal volume

Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the machine before adjusting internal components; grinder adjustment can be done with power ON only as specified.

• Increase strength: Raise the coffee strength setting on the control panel.
• Adjust grind finer: While the grinder is running during a coffee cycle, turn the grind adjustment knob one step finer. Do not adjust when grinder is stopped.
• Use fresh beans: Replace old or stale beans with fresh, high-quality espresso beans.
• Clean brew group: Remove and rinse the brew group to ensure it can compress the coffee puck correctly.
• If still weak: Grinder burrs may be worn and require replacement by a technician.
