Possible Causes
Water passing too quickly through grounds due to coarse grind, Sprayhead not distributing water evenly, Bypass valve stuck open (on some models), Incorrect brew strength setting
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before cleaning internal brew components.
- Adjust grind and dose: Use a slightly finer grind and ensure you are using the recommended coffee-to-water ratio.
- Check brew strength setting: On programmable Gourmia models, select a stronger brew or bold mode.
- Clean showerhead: Remove and clean the water outlet/showerhead to ensure even distribution over the coffee bed.
- Descale: Mineral buildup can alter flow patterns; run a descaling cycle.
