Coffee is not hot enough even when the temperature setting is at maximum.

Safety first: Beware of hot surfaces and steam when testing temperature.

• Check settings: Enter the menu and confirm the coffee temperature is set to the highest level.
• Allow full preheat: Wait until the machine indicates it is ready before starting a brew.
• Preheat cup: Rinse the cup with hot water from the machine to reduce heat loss.
• Descale: Perform a full descaling cycle to restore efficient heating in the thermoblock.
• Service if unchanged: If coffee remains lukewarm, the NTC sensor or thermoblock may be faulty and require replacement.
