Coffee tastes weak or watery even on normal or strong settings.

Safety: Unplug before adjusting internal components.

Steps:

• 1. Adjust grind: Set the grinder to a finer setting (while it is running to avoid jamming). Brew and taste again.
• 2. Increase strength setting: Use the machine's strength or aroma control to increase the coffee dose per cup.
• 3. Clean grinder: Remove beans and vacuum out old grounds. Caked coffee can affect dosing.
• 4. Inspect burrs (advanced): Access the grinder and inspect burrs for wear or chipping. Replace the burr set if dull.

Resolution: If strength remains low despite adjustments, the pump or brew pressure valve may be weak and require replacement.
